So let me get this straight the idiot moron cops that you worked with for 19 years are afraid that suddenly the law abiding citizen with the good references, clean criminal records, clean mental health records, no restraining orders or domestic violence history, no substance abuse history, safety class etc is going to become confused and think that their CCW permit is a hunting license for cops??? These people who are otherwise pillars of the community, and found to be exempt from even the Brady Law waiting period, are going to suddenly go beserk on a cop killing rampage?
Gimme a fucking break. If they are that scared, they can turn in their badges and let someone who actually has a pair do the job for them.
That's a heck of a straw man you set up there.
How is that a straw man? I have CCW permits in serveral states. In each and every one of them they checked for restraining orders / domestic violence / substance abuse / mental illness / or criminal histories. In New York I also had to have an interview with a court approved psychologist and an appearance before the issuing judge. In Texas I had to demonstrate proficiency with a handgun. My criminal, military, and mental health records were reviewed. My fingerprints were run through the FBI as well as state and local databases. They give the licenses to people who are not threats to public safety!
So, if your cops that you have worked with for 19 years are scared that they are going to be shot by the law abiding citizens who passed the CCW process, they lack both the brains and the balls to be on the job. In case they didnt get the memo - police frequently meet criminals. Dangerous scary frightening criminals. The CCW holders who scare them are responsible law abiding citizens who have been investigated, found not to be criminals, and deemed safe....
