One thing you must or will hopefully realize someday is that LEO's are NEVER off duty.jsimmons wrote:I'm not saying people can't be trusted to carry, I'm saying they shouldn't be allowed in a courtroom. Period. They don't allow civilians to carry for that very reason, yet cops are allowed to - simply because they're cops.
CHL holders are held to high standards simply because they are NOT LEO's and do not have the training but CHL's have been alloted the priviledge of carrying a deadly weapon.jsimmons wrote:I've been told time and again that CHL holders are held to an even higher standard than LEOs where carrying is concerned, yet we're not allowed to carry in the same situations - for the very reasons I'm citing.
Nobody here as far as I see are disagreeing with you as LEO's are only human. I'm not really sure if you can or ever will be able to comprehend the level of humanity and restraint that is required to be a LEO simply by the fact that you have issue's with LEO's option's of carry. I will be graduating a police academy in May and I cannot express in mere word's the thing's I have learned about becoming a LEO or myself. Law enforcement is not for everyone or for everyone to understand, either you get it or you don't.jsimmons wrote:Somehow, everyone thinks LEOs are immune to emotional outbursts, but the reality is that NOBODY is immune to that (unless they're in a coma).

PS,
I almost forgot to mention that by your assessment of LEO's lead's me to believe that you have had a bad experience in the past am I correct? If so you are carrying a grudge against all LEO's and cannot let go of the past, no LEO is perfect and I doubt you are either.
