Cop here. I was happy when my state (IN) got Constitutional Carry. One less law to pick on the good guy. Criminals never cared about permits. Why should good guys have to?
Edit:Grammar/spelling.

I had just gotten my dad to move out here, his lifetime license came in the mail about a week before constitutional carry passed, he was a little upset about that mostly because it was the first time he lived in a state where he could get a carry license at all and now he doesn’t need it lol.

Still not bad to have. Someday I'll get around to caring about getting one where I live. It's just convenient because of reciprocity laws when traveling out of state.

I got mine as soon as I moved to Indiana. I’ve had one everywhere I’ve lived since I left the army. My wife and I have friends all over this side of the Mississippi so we do a lot of driving, and our license is recognized in almost every state we end up driving through. I just wish my home state of Maryland could get their heads out of their asses and at least recognize other carry licenses but that’s doesn’t seem likely (which is why I don’t live there).

The cops who oppose stuff like this and want an unarmed population for their own safety underscore a big issue with many cops and departments, imo: They actively fixate on the idea that they're constantly in so much danger that they need to restrict ordinary people to keep themselves safe.
If someone is so afraid of being injured as a cop that they fear ordinary people having guns, they don't have the mentality to be a cop, and I think that's what leads to most shootings: cops who are too scared to be cops responding the way scared people do.

Doug is still on his own for the 3 minutes between calling for reinforcements and actually getting them

Blur the line between a cop and a yet another law-abiding citizen till said line disappears, for it was never supposed to be drawn.

I want to see legislation that says patrol cops have to be hired from the jurisdiction they intend to work in. Keeps people honest when you have to see the people you’re policing at your kids T-ball game.

As a cop, I've never understood why LE agencies push back against stuff like this. Especially because I'm out here telling dang near every victim I run into to get a gun if they want to protect themselves. We should be actively encouraging the citizenry to take responsibility for their safety, not telling them we can help in situations where we often can't.

Speaking of overmatch, anyone heard anything new about that open source armor penetrating 9mm?

Isn’t the point to make the populace safer? At least that’s what I was taught in my poli-sci class 6 or 7 years ago?

What gets me is the Militia law covers this very well. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title10/subtitleA/part1/chapter12&edition=prelim#:~:text=(a)%20The%20militia%20of%20the,the%20United%20States%20who%20are

It might not make it safer for the officers, but does it actually make life more dangerous for them? Because I suspect that most people who would shoot a cop don‘t much care about carry laws. (Unless of course the police are afraid of getting shot by law abiding citizens, for some reason)
