[Skinny Shooter]

It should be a no-brainer for a LEO to carry anywhere he/she goes. Right?
But unfortunately, current guys like Nulle and our retired officers like Adam have been mis-trusted up to this point with carrying a gun in other jurisdictions.
That's the same thing I was addressing when I agreed that the average person should have the same liberties.
Fortunately you guys have been taken care of now.

How my comment got twisted into LEO-bashing is beyond me and personally I resent it if that is addressed to me.

Going back to CCW in Illinois. There was no 911 while in the Springbrook Prairie/Forest Preserve outside of Naperville 2 winters ago. No fault of LE, they can't be everywhere.
But I needed assistance at that moment, not 5, 10 or 20 minutes later. My Pa. CCW-carried handgun should have been my 911 if I had it.

The average joe who is responsible and rational and has a CCW should be able to carry across state lines too.
While on a trip to Chesapeake City, Md a few weeks ago, I forgot to unload my auto when I crossed into Maryland. It didn't help that the border isn't clearly marked where I drove over the line (Skeet can probably vouch for that one). About 10 minutes over the border I remembered and despised the feeling (my conscience) of being a lawbreaker due to an imaginary line on a map. If we had been stopped, I would have been in a lot of trouble. This is the kind of stuff that the citizen still puts up with.

It's only about control.

Your right Popplecop, even though this forum is titled Concealed Carry, maybe we should get back to hunting topics.

If someone wants to continue this discussion with me, feel free to shoot off a PM.
