If it expands to all CPL holders, I support it.
BTTT
Sorry that I only include Texas in my What if,
What if you make everyone in Texas Law Enforcement, everyone gets Conceal and Carry, Everyone is responsible for the Health Well being and Safety of everyone else in Texas, "To Protect and Serve" to be "Public Servants"
I would venture a guess that after 6 months, the Crime rates for Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Mexico would have an upward spike, There would be a Dramatic DECREASE in all Crime in Texas as well as a Dramatic DECREASE in City, County and State Revenues, Law Enforcement would have to return to fill the coffers and the TRUE PURPOSE of Law Enforcement would be obvious to ALL. Just another friendly observation and Opinion by Yours Truly TT
Frankly, I think that all C C permits should allow law abiding gun owners to be armed Nation wide. I have always felt this way, but I think that in today's times, it's even more important. I do have to say though...I am very pleased with this decision....26 years active LEO and now retired.
I don't care what anybody says, most off duty Cops and many, many retired LEO's pack when they are traveling anyway.......this simply makes it legal. For what it's worth, I have absolutely no intention of working as a cop just because I carry a gun. Just as most of you might, I would only get involved if I found myself in a life threatening situation, for myself or others. Most cops are taught and even required to simply be good witnesses when they are no longer with a department.
I oppose the bill on principle. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR COPS.
Entirely un-Constitutional.
This stinks. The bill should allow ANYBODY to carry concealed anywhere in the nation, provided they meet the same standards as LEOs.
Since, as a group, CCP holders are probably more law-abiding than LEOs...
Serfs can't be allowed the same rights as the elite.
That's more than just a little disingenuous. There are plenty of restrictions in all but two states, Vermont and Alaska, but 34 states do have "shall issue" permit systems, which may include Alaska which retained it's permit system for reciprocity purposes. Four, plus DC, have outright bans, the other twelve have various forms of "may issue" permit systems. Virtually all the states with permit systems have lots of "unarmed victim zones" built into their laws.
Total BS.
