I wouldn’t say that.

From my experience, cops in large urban cesspools (and when you get off The Strip, Vegas is a very unattractive place), don’t like citizens with CCW’s.

In rural and suburban areas, cops I’ve known are either OK with CCW’s or are rather supportive of them.

In places where the issuance of CCW’s has been a cash cow for the department in past years (eg, cities in SoCal, the northeast, etc) for their connected “friends” and “important people,” they hate shall-issue CCW’s because it takes away the ability of the chief or sheriff to say “Suuuuuure.... I’ll give a CCW.... I’m in need of funds for my re-election tho....” this has been an issue in some California counties in the 90’s.

Correct. The minimum 'fee' in the county I worked at/for was about $5,000.

Really cheap when one compares that in neighboring LA County , they were not available at any price.
