Ridiculous.
They want the license and the badge, so to speak, but fear the weapon, or they might get an owie from the concealed holster. I’ve heard it all, haven’t you?
Its not that. They are trained but we live in such a low crime area that few people feel threatened. It is assumed everyone has a gun in their vehicle if nothing more than for shooting varmints. I carry all the time, but my husband doesn’t except when we travel. He doesn’t really need to and he knows I have mine with me. My mother didn’t carry because I was a better shot, but she still had her CCW. My FIL carries when traveling esp out of state but doesn’t see the need going back to work between the two small towns. Its not like we live in a city. The last robbery was a couple of teenagers from 3 towns over who broke into the bar to steak candy bars and cherry schnapps. The last murder was in the 1980’s and the one before that was in the 1880’s. There has never been a home invasion in town.
Now, I wish I could carry in the one place I can’t. The state I snowbird in (CA) but we own the house out there, can’t sell it right now, and I hate 26 below weather. I do carry the weapons I can such as they are and I do keep my CCW close when at home.
Oh yeah? Well what if it gets infected! Didja ever think about THAT! < /s>
