Of course you're right.

That same thinking applies to LEO's too.

But, the overwhelming majority in both groups are generally the good guys.
I agree with both statements. The problem is you never know if you are dealing with the great majority, or the small fraction...

Re: CHL holders and Police Contact

I'm sorry, but I don't believe that simply because someone has a CHL means that they are no longer capable of being a threat. See the thread about the CHL at the ball game if you need verification.

You'd think they'd think positively towards us. We AREN'T criminals or we wouldn't be allowed to carry. Yet, some seem to have a built in fear of us or maybe it tests some egos...?

It seems rather ironic that LEO's are very well informed regarding the bad guys, but some choose to remain ignorant about the good guys.

I wonder why they don't have to have "mandatory knowledge requirements" of CHL holders?

We certainly have to have a lot of "mandatory knowledge requirements" in order to be CHL holders.
