Oh, and BTW, Joe T-Man...I am the wife of a policeman, and I can assure you that nowhere NEAR "all" law enforcement officials have your twisted view of the Second Amendment. In fact, my husband worries quite often because I am not permitted to arm myself -- or to properly defend our children. Now....I'll admit that most CHIEFS of police and most Police UNIONS do not support CCW, but if anyone actually thinks the FOP, etc. truly represent the rank and file...well, let's just say I have my doubts about that. It has not been my experience that they are in tandem with their membership.
Regards,
THis is an important point: police officers have wives, kids, parents, brothers, sisters, non-cop friends, etc, all of whom have no more right to carry guns in self-defense than any other non-cop citizen. And cops know the value of having a gun to defend yourself.
