Same here. I know most of the cops here and some of them are friends. Hell, we discuss guns and ammo over dinner.

Yes, it is the same here.Most officers are members of gun clubs so they can get range discounts on bulk purchases of ammo,accessories and firearms.We get along well, and in a pinch, they would call us for help, and we would be there.

There is something definitely wrong with this situation in Nevada.Some kinnd of prearrangement of use of deadly force on the slightest perceptive provocation, if the account on this thread is true. I can see one guy makinng a istake, but all three? And then a second volley after he was down? Hey, this isn't Afghanistan, or is it?

I usually side with the police on these issues, having severed myself, but something is very wrong here,either the account is not true, or these guys were prepared to kill a licensed concealed carry person ahead of time.

It seems to depend on the state and the geography. As a general rule from what I’ve seen, big city and college town cops are the most hostile to concealed carry. Sometimes it also varies based on rank - e.g. the brass support it while the patrol officers don’t, or vice versa. But it’s also generally the case that cops are not very strong defenders of the 2nd amendment, and many are actually very hostile having the “only we should be allowed to own guns” mentality. That mentality played no small part in what happened at Virginia Tech and several other similar incidents.
