OK, fine. I'll put on my tin foil hat too. Let's assume that they skewed the numbers to suggest that police chiefs are more in favor of gun rights and CCW than they really are. If the National Association of Chiefs of Police is skewing polls in this manner, doesn't that speak volumes in and of itself?Like any poll you can pick and choose who you want to particpate and skew the numbers anyway you want. Statistical analysis is not an exact science.
This is a poll of Chiefs and Sheriffs, not the rank and file. So you think then that the rank and file numbers would be even better? I hope you're right.Not real suprising. Most rank and files are ok with civilians owning guns. It's the "management" that isn't, who are merely politicians anyway.
It really depends on your location also. I live by a dying military base. In the past our PD was made up of a lot of ex-MPs who thought they were God Almighty themselves. They viewed anyone with a firearm as a threat to them. Thankfully most have calmed down as they transitioned from military life or moved on. Now we are getting a new breed. There are several that I know of who really don't want to carry a firearm themselves. As mentioned before, they are more of a social worker with a badge.So you think then that the rank and file numbers would be even better?
Am I the only one that thinks that Police Chiefs , who hold considerable power over us residents of their domains, ought to universally respect our rights?Exactly. I don't know what world some of you people are living in but 66% of police chiefs supporting RTC is more than the general public I'd wager on.
Yes, you're the only one.Am I the only one that thinks that Police Chiefs , who hold considerable power over us residents of their domains, ought to universally respect our rights?
