As this report
entails an entire website dedicated to exposing the nonsense of giving
law enforcement officers national concealed carry special exemptions
while concealed carry prohibitions continue to be enforced against the
people, this file is simply here as a marker so people can find the site
in our search engine and in our police-related archives.
The actual report
is found here: http://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/CopsOnlyCCW/.
Contained in that
report is the following table of contents:
• Introduction
• H.R. 218 & Its History
• Law Enforcement Supporters
• Gun Rights Leaders' Positions
• Objections to Such Legislation
• How the Bill is Being Promoted
• Conclusion
• Take Action
• Acknowledgements
While numerous
police organizations push for special, illegal exemptions from concealed
carry laws for their members, plenty of them are not gun owners'
friends. You'll also see a rather large coalition of gun rights groups
and leaders who flatly oppose such nonsense -- and much more, some of it
quite ugly.
The right of the
people to keep and bear arms is for THE PEOPLE. Anyone who has a problem
with that has a problem with me.
