In other words, he wants to take away the double standard cops currently enjoy. Maybe when their CCW rights are stripped away they will look more favorably on ALL of us being allowed to carry. Police officers should not get special rights.

Concur. They can carry when I can carry.

I fully agree. Here in New Jersey, which I think has probably worse laws than CA and MA I've experienced harassment from local police when applying for permits to purchase handguns.
A cop friend of mine who is pro 2nd amendment told me the mentality is "every gun off the streets is one less that can hurt me". The arrogance and superiority of SOME police officers is astounding.
Hopefully, now they'll realize that the 2nd amendment is for EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!!
