heyjoe, I don't have to dislike or disrespect cops to think that they should not be afforded special privileges.

A couple of my best friends are cops, in fact, and they are pro-RKBA.

LEOSA is a special privilege; until we have national reciprocity for all law-abiding citizens, I do not see why we should have extra-jurisdictional reciprocity for active LEOs, nor national reciprocity for retired LEOs.

While you may think that viewpoint is divisive, my take on it is different - the existence of LEOSA allows antis to say "the rest of you don't need guns, we have all these police officers carrying." It allows anti pols to claim they reached across the aisle in crafting pro-RKBA legislation.

To that extent, LEOs have been used as pawns.
