That fact was bandied about almost 20 years ago.

Partially IMO, it points to the fact that criteria for concealed carry is more stringent than criteria to become a cop.

On another, psychological level, though, it illuminates the fact that little people like you and me do not have a powerful union protecting us, and we know it, and act accordingly. I posit this is the overriding factor: fear of going to prison.

Police, on the other hand, sometimes act with abandon because they think there won’t be consequences for their actions. A lot of times they are right!

I suspect your right. If you run across any source for the stats I would be very interested.

“Indeed, it is hard to find any other group of people who are as law-abiding as permit holders. For example, while police are extremely law-abiding, being convicted of firearm violations at about 0.02 percent per year, the data for permit holders show that their rate is about one-sixth that of police.”
