Redirect me if this has already been addressed. As near as I can tell, police officers in most areas can carry off duty, only right, but can also drink alcohol while carrying. How does that make any sense whatever? Citizens in my state cannot even carry in a place serving alcohol whether they consume or not. Cannot have alcohol in system when having a firearm in the car. Is a police officer somehow less prone to impaired judgment than other people? 2 city cops from my town were involved in an assault in a nearby city while out drinking with friends. Several sheriff's deputies were involved in a bar doing drug dealing and other illegal activity. A former police chief here had several buddies involved in car theft and prostitution. Does that show superior judgment and character?
Don't get me wrong. I am pro police all the way. But why should they be allowed to drink while carrying deadly weapons? In that respect, they should be subject to the same laws as the rest of us.
Please correct me if I am wrong on this. LEO's I would especially appreciate your feedback. Please do not take this as a personal assault. I appreciate the dangerous work you do every day.
