I remember well my first solo shift as a police officer. I was sitting in my patrol vehicle, enveloped in excitement and equipment. Sig Sauer P220 sidearm, Remington 870 shotgun, Taser, OC pepper spray, and of course, the AR-15 (M-4).
Police officers know each piece of equipment intimately through years of training. Each piece of equipment secured in its proper place. Each piece of equipment, and its use, governed by myriad laws and regulations. Each piece of equipment designed to protect us and the community. Some of the equipment is designed to take a life, if necessary. |

| Since there is no evidence from any state that allows campus carry that these assertions are valid, why do these dimwits keep writing such articles? |

| How did "professors" become "at risk" individuals ? Presumably the state of FL is going to perform its "due diligence" before issuing a CCW to anyone - student or professor . In that regard the "playing field is level" ! So "where's the beef" ? From the article cited it seems one police officer is expressing his personal concern over increased situational training and officer responsibility for determining who's wearing the "white hats" in a fluid situation. But his officer also ignores the reality if he's deep in the s**t it may well be a CCW that comes to his aid. Sadly, we're seeing this all too frequently of late ! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
