Disclaimer: This is in no way bashing the excellent organization of law enforcement. I have ultimate respect for those who volunteer to put their lives on the line. Anyways...
My wife and I are getting some stuff done at our home and I bumped into my contracter/friend who's changing careers to become a police officer.
The last time I saw him was probably 6-7 months ago as he was going through the initial stages: written exams, psychological tests, interviews, etc.
When I saw him yesterday he looked great, he lost 50 lbs!!! But the bad news he shared was his application for the LAPD and the LA County Sheriff's department was denied. Reason why is that he owns a lot firearms (his dad is a collector) and owns a UT CCW permit (the agency's reason was that him owning the permit, was a liability issue).
Can anyone please share some additional light on why a young man who has a passion with firearms and CCW permit approved holder cannot get into law enforcement?
What saddens me is that he's always wanted to become a law enforcement officer for a long time.
He's going to try again with the local police department to give it another shot.
Thanks.
