only austin police officers are charged criminally for policy violations.

I am gonna show my ignorance, but how is violating a company policy, even if the company is a police agancy, a criminal offense?

I see this as an opportunity to expand a civilian carry agenda in areas where we might not gain much ground due to situations like this...

While I agree with most of your evaluation of the article, the above stood out. I wish that I had your optimism but look at the locations discussed in the story, New York City, Los Angeles, Rhode Island, and Florida. With the exception of Florida, which we all know is gun friendly, If these people are even disarming the police unless they are wearing certain clothing, then average joe citizen doesn't stand a chance. Civilian carry in these areas of the country is presently far reaching at best. I don't see much hope of changing in the near future, but I've become increacingly pesamistic.
