"I agree that retired law enforcement professionals should be permitted to carry a concealed firearm as long as they follow state and federal laws and those policies presented to them by their former law enforcement agencies."

Ah. An elitist. He and his cohorts are OBVIOUSLY much smarter, trainable, responsible and more astute than any private citizen could possibly be.

Most of what I'd say was already said very well here. Some LEOs just don't seem to live in the real world. Most of the ones I know, do and are fully supportive of the good guys carrying.

Several years ago, in the city where I live, a female police officer had a suspect sitting in the back of her squad car. He did something to prompt her to fire her tazer gun at him. Only thing is, she mistakenly grabbed her firearm and shot him in the chest, killing him instantly.

The point of this story is that obviously, only cops are qualified to carry firearms. Us peasants just can't handle that kind of responsibility.

He's just another idiot. I picked up more fire arms training with a much larger variety of weapons, in 7 years in the military, and another 35 years of being alive, than these jackbooted idiots get in two lifetimes. I'll carry when I damn well please, seeking no ones permission, thank you! Blackbird.
