LEOs and Pistol Permit, NY

KV, if your right to keep and bear arms is important to you go to PA. PA is a nice state with a similar climate and beautiful countryside of upstate NY but with far fewer kooky laws.

How could you compare someone taking the exam to an already sworn officer? We'll if and when you pass you'd understand enough on why you'll need a weapon more than the other guy. I just hope the criminal your arresting/locking up don't spits at you and tells you that he's sending his guys after you and your family.

Perhaps if you had read further down into my post where I outlined my current job, particularly the, what I thought, relevant part?

I've been employed in the private security industry since 2003. I've been involved in many, many conflicts regarding employee termination. I've performed investigations that have resulted in employees being terminated with loss of benefits/pension and resulted in personal threats against me. I've performed security at events that have resulted in me being threatened, stabbed and shot at. I've applied for a un-restricted carry citing my job requires me to travel to questionable locations and my life has been in danger more then once.

There are gun stores around here that do give a discount to LEO's w/ the showing of a badge.Other than that,I think we're all in the same boat.
