Poll on a gun law...

Repeal it. Elitism at it's purest.

Or expand on it to anybody that has carried for 20 years.

Allowing some people certain rights and disallowing them for others will never, ever lead to the right being allowed to all. It won't encourage police officers to support CCW for civilians. Either they do now or they never will. It will give some of them the delusion that they are better able to handle firearms than others. This logic is the same thing as saying that wealthy, white men should be allowed to carry as they please. Surely, others would soon receive the same right.

Exactly. I dont think that this will help gunowners at all. I think it will only reinforce the idea that police are somehow superior. We need to start pressuring the LE community to back us. Perhaps we can use the NRA and other gun orgs to do this. I dont know how but I think we should start pushing for our rights.

my issue with it

It perpetuates this myth that Police officers are somehow much more qualified and proficient to posses weapons than the rest of us. It Extends this class of "Super-Citizen" which is more privileged that we mere "citizens"

Either the "people" have a right, or they do not. Which is it going to be?

Do we have the right to do it or not? ProficientRifleman is right. It helps to foster the idea that police are somehow superior to us and need to carry while we as none LEOs do not.

Perhaps if we can get the NRA to start lobbying hard for us liek the Police organizations and unions we can get it passed.
