...as we tend to hang around like-thinking friends, my cop friends are anti-ccw. All cite the inability of the average citizen to use firearms, as well to know when to use them, and they agree with me that the way the West Was Won was when vigilante law became superceded by local sheriffs and federal marshalls taking care of the bad guys, and citizens were subject to laws limiting gun carrying in the towns.

But those are admittedly a small percentage of cops and chiefs. I just think the majority is wrong is in this case.
