Law Enforcement and CCW

Says Kielma, “let’s take a look at one perspective from a police officer”. Please read the thoughts below.

Extremely supportive. I am very much in favor of folks who want to take responsibility for their safety and the safety of their families.

I'll give you an example.

I stopped a fellow, I can't remember for what, but he was laying across his steering wheel with his hands on the dash and stated as I walked up that he does not agree to any searches of his property or person but will cooperate under duress, and that he is armed with a handgun.

I asked where is the gun? He said it's in a backpack on his back seat. I replied that he has a problem then. He sighed and asked what the issue was. I told him the pistol was totally worthless in the backseat and should be in a quality holster in an accessible spot on his person. He liked that very much and we chatted about rights and guns a bit. He asked me if a took an oath and if I meant it. I said yes I did, and yes I sure as hell do.

I became a cop in my mid-twenties and carried a pistol as soon as I was legally able to, and I'm for anyone else who can do the same.
