I think you answered your own questions. Level 4 PPOs can carry because they're "better trained" - at least in theory. "Rich" people can't carry more places. They can hire people that can carry more places. Even you or I could hire an off-duty LEO if we could afford it and it was allowed by departmental policy.

This isn't an issue for me.

The issue for me is when the government starts creating protected classes of people with no other requirement than being a member of that class. IE - if you're a judge, you shouldn't have different rules than a private citizen in regard to how you can protect yourself. If you work in state government, you shouldn't have different rules.

I'd give LEOs a break here as they could be considered to be always on duty and they're obviously better trained than someone who has taken a CHL course.

And realistically, I don't consider the CHL course much training at all. It is a big time-suck - it seems that there are more effective ways to teach other than minimum "class time" based education. I'm told that there are people that actually fail the shooting portion, which is really scary...
