Across the country, there is a lot of debate on carrying handguns .

What are your opinions / concerns of citizens carrying concealed handguuns?

Hello. I am retired after 25 years as a LEO.
When Texas offered CHL, I became an instructor while still in law enforcement.

When the street officers learned what the law actually required and the caliber of person required to get a CHL, about 90% supported the new law and a goodly number sent their wives through the course.

Best.
 
I work in the Nashville area and TN generally has pretty good CCW laws(not perfect, but pretty good). I would love to see a national carry law and alot more "good guys" armed. Alot of co-workers feel the same way.
As to the ones that don't...my opinion as to why they fall into a trap follows... I deal with amazingly stupid(NO...I mean stupid) people daily. Day after day you begin to think these types of people are the norm and not the exception. The thought of these folks breeding is scary enough, but packing heat...and you start to arrogantly think your above the general public when it come to firearms. I DONT DEFEND THIS WAY OF THOUGHT, BUT I SEE WHERE IT COMES FROM.
To this I say...Just because you carry a gun 40 hrs.a week, doesn't neccessarily make you an expert with it.
 
Everyone has the right, I carried prior to being a LEO. When asked by an acquaintance, whether they should carry a firearm: I tell them that if they wish to carry a firearm that they should train hard and often. Concealed carry requires a "DIFFERENT MIND SET" and a lot of dedication to training. If a person is willing to train as hard and as often as I do, I'm glad to have them out there. I'm glad to have them on my side. Besides "A LOT" of LEO's I work with do not carry "Off Duty." Go figure?

P.S. Trained Armed Citizens Make Less Potential Victims! BG's hate GSW's!
