I'm getting frustrated listening to all the general population's take on CC permits. It seems we have no validity like police officers manage to achieve.
They say, "you're not trained enough to make a crucial decision" or "the permit only requires a simple safety class" or even "we don't really know who you are or what you'll do with that firearm".
Honestly I'd like to see this take place. You apply for a permit and start a rigorous training program. Once finished, you're stamped 'USDA Prime' or somesuch, making you 'official'. Then people in general see you as a valid, functioning, upstanding member of society and...
LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT CARRYING A FIREARM!
I mean seriously, I hear all the time...cops are to be trusted and honored, CC permit holders are gun nuts bent on throwing lead around at the slightest provocation. Sick of it.
So someone *please* tell me, what is the difference between a police officer and the average Joe wanting to honorably defend himself and his family? Is there some ceremony cops undertake that give them magical powers to make people believe they are the 'finest' individuals among us, just because they swear to uphold the law?
Hey, if they offered a multi-week course for firearms training and we'd get society's stamp of approval, I'm the first in line. But you know what, it doesn't matter how many classes, courses and practice I do...I will never be 'valid' to the majority of the US.
