When off duty cops are able to start stopping crimes cause they are armed, it will move us closer to nationwide right to carry for all of us.

Or they'll say that because all those off-duty cops are carrying, "we" don't have a need to. Remember, they're looking for an excuse to thwart us.

If off-duty cops should carry because they're cops, then they should be on-call 24/7 because they're armed.

No special privileges.

If I thought that the cops would turn around and help us once they "got theirs," then I might support this.

As is it stinks of police state elitism. But suppose the bill also extended the exemption to include any citizen who has passed suitable training. And honorably discharged veterans, and current members of the armed forces.

The NRA is for the bill---good enough for me

They wouldn't. I think that too many cops do have an elitist attitude.
