Law Enforcement allowed to carry

[Varmint Hunter]

I've never seen quite so much anti-police sentiment anywhere.

Obviousy, the House, Senate & the President don't agree with you guys, and keep in mind that many of your representatives that voted for this bill are left-wing democrats who are traditionally anti-gun. This was a well thought out, common sense piece of legislature.

Very FEW civilians have a lifetime of continual training & firearms qualifing nor is their conduct monitored with the scrutiny that has befallen Police Officers. Based on a Police Officers training and career experience he is expected to know when, where and how to use deadly physical force to maximize the public safety in a hostile situation. Do you have such training and experience???? If you can't see the difference between the Police and an armed resident then its because you don't want to.

Locally, many forms of mass transit allow Police Officers to ride for free. However, they must be prepared to act in their capacity as a LEO when **** hits the fan. Is every handgun owning resident ready, willing and capable of interceeding in a confrontation brought on by some crazed idiot. No they are not, nor are they expected to be. This agreement was not designed to benefit the Police but to enhance the public safety aboard a bus, train or other means of transit.

There is a difference.

As a clarifier: The new law does not apply to any and every LEO, there are specific parameters and annual requirements. The bill also does not allow qualified LEO's to carry "anywhere" in the US.
