John,

That isn't like you!

Have an issue with police officers or just feeling cranky today?

Mav is a good guy! you know that... so is Rich.

The more supportive police officers are of ccw the better, right?

Arizona allows CCW with a permit that is quite easily acquired.

The comments about the mall and 'gun free' areas etc got me thinking, that and it's quiet at work today so I'm reading the boards :)

I'm a gun owner so this isn't anti-gun.  I like to shoot, and have a pretty decent arsenal at home.  I'm just curious if the folks believing that they should be able to conceal and carry, believe there are any places that should be gun free?

I'm married to an ER nurse.  They see all kinds of crazies.  Should they be allowed to carry?  I work with 'troubled teens" in a shelter.  Lots of them have had gun offenses.  Should I be able to carry a gun?  I'd be lying if I said there haven't been a few I'd like to take out back, but I've never considered that carrying a gun would be reasonable.  

How about a church?  I always thought it strange when they had to put up their signs outside saying guns were not permitted in them.   Do you believe they should be?

I guess I'm trying to figure out where the line is, or if some folks believe there is no line and they should be able to carry a gun anywhere?

I've only ever been in one situation where someone had a gun and he never pointed it at me, but he was trying to use it to intimidate me and made sure I saw it.  If I'd had a gun, it's the last thing I'd have used as I believe it would have escalated the situation.  I talked my way out if it.  My knees shook afterwards, but I just can't see carrying a gun.  It feels way to wild west to me.

Yaknow its funny but much of this internet "gun crowd" always wants to hear the viewpoints of LEOs due to some fascination with the job they have. And then they almost automatically try to insult and degrade us when we actually give em our opinions.


Hmmm maybe some people ask your opinions then simply disagree?

You seem to be implying that, since you are a LEO,  people are not entitled to disagree with you.

As for the insulting and degrading part... I read your last post to me.  Pot, meet kettle.

FWIW I'm very much Pro-LE.  I'd like to see them get the best equipment, better training,  higher pay and more of them.  

I think LE can be a  dangerous job and their pay should be commensurate with this. I think higher pay, coupled with the kind of training that would make each LEO  "elite", would be tax dollars well spent.
