Interestingly, the Waukesha Sheriff (Trawicki) is VERY supportive of CCW. Also a very active member of Safari Club. Good guy.

Interestingly, the Waukesha Sheriff (Trawicki) is VERY supportive of CCW.

I'm sure he's a great guy, but he's probably an exception. I reckon that about only 10% of professional law enforcement are qualified supporters of Shall Issue CCW laws. But that 10% is the exception that basically proves the rule. That leaves the other 90% as essentially hostile.

It's understandable. The patrol sheriff or beat cops that I have had conversations with regarding CCW's are not supportive of them or are downright hostile because they fear for THEIR safety, never mind ours. And the Chiefs of Police and the elected County Sheriffs are, for the most part against shall issue, if not adamantly opposed because it's politically correct.

My opinion is not an indictment of LEO's, but an observation. I am not saying don't trust them, just don't place too much dependence on their support. If we depend on LEO's help to preserve the 2nd. Amendment, it will be like waiting for the French Cavalry to save the Alamo.
