And somewhere on the left coast, Fienstein is quibbling about gun control to a crowd of 20 or so filthy, dirty, smelly, pot smoking, cracked out and/or otherwise high hipsters that dont want to believe that a) john lennon is dead or b) the CIA had nothing to do with JFKs assassination....
booohhoooohhoooo LOL
Thanks for your service and a belated welcome to FreeRepublic.

Now will the Second Ammendment "Fly" through congress for the rest of us PEONS?
Some animals are more equal than others.
Only if they hold a special session when the libs and RINO's are out of town.
"Fly" = "Sail"
(Hell I was a Flying Squid, what do you expect?)
And of course Kerry and Edwards missed the vote, right?

.The federal government has no authority to set the regulations for police of the States, to wear, or to not wear, Arms.
All police authority for the police officers of any State, is delegated from the authority in each respective State's Constitution.
The power to be a police officer, to make arrests, to carry a firearm or any deadly weapons --- that all comes from the State's Constitution.
Now, the Congress can make a law that authorizes police officers of the States, to wear firearms on federal property, but that is the extent of the federal authority.
This bill is a travesty and serious breach of the wall of separation between State power and federal power.
The Congress is attempting to assert that it has the power to determine if the police officers of a State, may or may not wear firearms, when that power and right is of the people of that State.
Dear Mr. Fotis: Shouldn't everyone else have the tools they need to protect themselves and their families 24/7, at no cost to the taxpayer?
Given that the media coverage of Iraq is so negative, do the Left leaning and Dim-o-crap GIs there recognize the CNN and leftist media and politicians are consistantly lying? Supposedly this will be a 50% - 50% election.
What do you estimate the percentage with be among the GIs there? What about the percentage of enlisted/officers overall?

It's kind of strange. The only thing that differentiates me [an ex-police] from a retired police officer is the fact that I took my retirement money rather than let the City of Dallas keep it and pay me a pension.
For that, I can no longer carry a badge.
Other than that, no difference.
Once a cop, always a cop? I guess it's all about the money.
This is good legislation, however.
Ping to 16 :))
An I the only one who doesn't really like carving out specific rights for just cops? I mean, nothing against cops, but armed cover government agents anywhere in the country...anyone?
This is an indirect win for me as more cops will be on the streets (on vacation etc.) and it will make more of the public comfortable with CCW.
Hopefully it will be a direct win for me by September.
I'm hoping to be hired and in the academy in September. Physical test, written test, oral board, lie detector test, written psych test, background investigation and credit check, are all done. Now I have to meet with the headshrinker, have a physical exam, have my references fill out a packet, tell my bosses they will be getting a call from a prospective employer, get a job offer, and pass the physical test again on the first day of the academy.
Then the fun starts.
Hey! What about me protecting my family when out of my state and one of these super-privileged cops isn't around?
