Thanks for sharing that with us.coltm4223 wrote:I had a life changing experience that put alot of things into perspective. I have been a Federal LEO for 17yrs when one of my fellow agents was raided at home by ATF, IG, FBI, and Local LEO for selling sensative and stolen govt. equipment on the internet and NFA viloations. During the investigation I was wrongly accused of participating, put on admin leave for over a year and fired(removed from govt service). The day I was put on admin leave they walked me to my car and took my credentials. If it wasn't for the fact that I continued to renew my CT pistol permit I would have been screwed for about 4 months(current wait in Texas). I was blessed that Texas had just begun to honor CT licenses. 2yrs later I was exonerated by a Federal Judge and the agency was ordered to reinstate me with full pay and benefits. It was a long hard road but I'm back and trying to build back my rep. This whole incident re-enforced my opinion that all LEOs should take advantage of the CCW laws and support the program, God forbid one day it happens to you. Just as a note the Judge put all the blame of this gross injustice on a misguided a Lead Inspector General Investigator(he still has his job).
