Now I've got nothing against military men myself, I have as much respect for them as the next guy does. But, I will say myself that just as many of the military guys I know have God complexes as the cops do. I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to carry weapons concealed, but by God if they can, cops had better be able to. I realize that most soldiers put their necks on the line for some time of their lives to protect the country, but is it not obvious that police officers put their lives on the line every single day for 20+ years?
Honestly I don't think military or police should have any upper hand on carrying weapons. We as Americans should all be able to. I don't see a thing wrong with requiring licensing and training, but it still should be something you get to do everyhwere. Now I've said it tons of times before, I'd love to be a police officer, and am hoping to get to fulfill that dream one day. But, I am still believing that while police are there to protect you, they can't be all the time. People should be able to protect themselves, be they cop, military, firefighter, EMT, anything!
