Are they Kidding??? Cops couldn't carry their own guns outside their towns?? How insane is that?? Thank God for Sanity and GW!!
Pray for W and Our Troops
It's true. Whenever a cop wanted to make a trip through other states and wanted to be armed he had to bone up on the laws of every state he passed through in order to do that legally (I hear the smart-alecks laughing out there...the few cops I know bother to respect the laws). This was especially troublesome when flying thanks to the airline industries notorious mishandling of luggage transport. Imagine how frustrating it is for a LEO to fly all across the country for a work-related course or seminar involving firearms only to learn upon arriving that his guns took a separate trip.
Now, if I read this right, we just got ourselves a whole legion of happenstance air marshalls free of charge.
This also paves the way for multi-state recognition of civilian ccw's. I know, all that muck is against the 2nd Amendment, but I'll take any gains back toward its recognition as a small victory. The mugger waiting to meet you on your next vacation isn't going to argue the fine points of Supreme Court tyranny.
