    • Yes understand on all counts you made. Being a LEO for a number of years I have had to go on many a person with a gun call. Most carry guys are decent respectful people and there are no problems. What some people fail to understand is that if we are sent on a call we have to follow up on it. The problem is when you get the guys that are quite uncooperative for one reason or the other. Some are down right jack a---- with the attitude of how dare you question me.

      A few years ago I had a situation much like the OP's. One of my guys made contact with the guy and requested to see his permit and ID. That is how the determination is made if he is within state law. This guy for some reason decided he did not and would not present a permit or ID. So what we had was a guy that was getting ready to get locked up just because he wanted to be a hard head. Once I arrived I explained it to him in no uncertain terms. He changed his mind and all ended well. Just throwing out an example of how guys act at times.

      The last few years (It seems to me) that we have seen a huge increase in guys with permits having warrants,guys still in possession of a permit that had been revoked and guys with permits doing really stupid stuff. Once upon a time it was a pretty safe bet that anyone with a valid permit was GTG. However with some of this younger generation it is no longer safe to just assume that they are. IMO once your average non gun nut type LEO runs across one of those types, they seem to not trust guys with permits and then you get the disarming on TS's and other silly stuff.

      I wish everyone would legally and properly carry. I also wish that certain small percentage of goof balls would try to use some common sense. Otherwise we could possibly see some restrictive type bills introduced. Heck it could happen with one major incident. I would really hate to see our permit system get jacked up. We could have it a whole lot worse.

      Good talking (typing) to you and take care.
