...that retired LE officers face increased risk of danger from people they've arrested or had other dealings with during their LE career.

Mr. Badass does his 15, gets out, and goes on the hunt for the guy that put him in there.





Get a concealed-carry permit, then. If your state makes you wait 6 months and pay $1,000 in fees, then too fucking bad. If it's not too much to demand from the people living in the dangerous, crime-infested part of the city, then it's not too much to demand from the guy with options.

And if the laws of the state limit me to 10 rounds in my gun to deal with Mr. Badass, then I don't see why a trained, experienced, LE officer needs more than me to deal with Mr. Badass.

The retired LE officer might face an increased risk of danger from certain people from his career, but his overall risk is probably much less than the regular folks living in the crime-ridden part of a city.
