Law-abiding citizens with the best intentions underestimate how hard it is to use a gun for self-defense successfully. Even highly-trained police officers lose control of their handguns; according to the FBI, 5 out of 41 law enforcement officers (12%) killed by gunfire in the line of duty in 1999 were killed by an adversary with the officer's own service weapon. And police officers know that the very sight of a gun can escalate a situation, so that instead of simply losing your wallet, you can lose your life. That's why almost every major law enforcement organization - including the International Brotherhood of Police Officers and the International Association of Chiefs of Police - opposes the weakening of CCW laws.

I don't understand your question? And the highlighted part does not make sense to me..

Never heard of the "IBPO", but the IACP has always been a bunch of libtard Chiefs and administrators, and has been staunchly anti-gun...almost "anti-cop", in fact... from it's inception so far as I know.

YOu reallt expect any legitimate LE organization to back civilian carry on a national level?

Man.... I guess that W.C. Fields was right.

I was opposed to HR 218 from the start, but a lot of people thought it would lead to an expansion of rights for the little guy. We had a bunch of cops saying that, and I didn't believe a word of it.

THe FOP is opposed to civilian carry, the IACP is opposed to civilian carry, the IBPO is opposed and so on and so forth.. supposedly LEAA is gun friendly, but i haven't seen anything from them supporting civilian carry on the national level.

AS usual, the police have MORE rights than the little guy.....

I think ALL Law Abiding Citizens should be able to carry however and whenever they want, in ALL 50 states.

International Brotherhood of Police Officers and the International Association of Chiefs of Police

Asshats, all of them. I don't trust any LEO that is a member of either of these groups.

I think ALL Law Abiding Citizens should be able to carry however and whenever they want, in ALL 50 states.

(ETA) This is working well for Vermont and Alaska.

Some of the groups you are complaining about were opposed to the LEO nationwide carry bill, so its no surprise their opposition extends to similar non-LEO bills.

Yeah, I guess they should have someone over your house helping you clean your guns.

Is there anything else you need?

I guess their attempts to be a voice for law abiding citizens isn't enough. You should note your displeasure on the next check you send to them to help them continue their work.

I said when the bill was passed that we, the non special status ones, would get hung out to dry, and what has happened?

Yeah, I think the real problem is becoming apparent in your posts. You have serious "little man" issues.

Where did they "hang you out to dry"? Next, if they don't suppoert "self defense rights" for all, why would they put it on their website? Why would they post that they want to protect law abiding citizens Rights?

That's right, politically, if they weren't for it, they wouldn't post it. They gain nothing by posting those views, unless they actually believe in them.

What has the NRA or GOA done for you recently. What laws have been overturned as a direct result of thier influence? Or kept from becoming law in the first place? Post an all inclusive list.

I've never seen a cop make a fuss over a citizen rightfully using a gun for self defense. However, I've never seen but a few make any effort to support CCW for everyone. Also, I've never seen but a few speak out against it. Most are just like everyone else when it comes to politics. If it doesn't effect them, they aren't interested. When CCW for Ohio became an issue, me and some like minded others signed some petitions, made some phone calls and expressed our support. I imagine quite a few non LEO's did the same for HR 218. Those who opposed it? Well, they're no better than cops who oppose CCW.

Show me a national CCW bill for everyone and I'll support it. But don't cry because I have it and you don't. Get to work on it. We did.

Look back at the original thread when this bill was first presented here. I think it was CRC.

I'll say it once again,

I TOLD YOU SO. LAW ABIDING CITIZENS ARE ONCE AGAIN SCREWED!!!!

I get the e-mail alerts from the NRA, and it seems that they have done quite a bit. The sunsetting of the AWB for starters. Not a member of GOA. But the group that I most strongly support is VCDL. And they have done a lot for gun owners in VA, and have started to dabble in federal issues. And what has the FOP, IBOP, IACP, and the other 'respectable' law enforcement idiots done? You can spout all the crap about 'rank and file', but that doesn't cut it. Those orginizations represent the police. And you are the police. If they don't represent your views, replace the people.

I will give credit to LEAA, because they at least put up a statement, but statements don't do much. The NRA spent a lot of money helping elect officials that support our rights, unlike your orginizations.

Well, this is very obviously a TROLL post....by an anti for sure.

First, as an ex member of the IACP & a 30 plus year vet CLEO I can say with no little base of knowledge that the IACP is and will always be on the anti side of this issue. You just have to understand the base of it's membership to catch my meaning, most are the "3 piece suit" type of police chiefs that will above all else be politically correct. Fellows, the guy, or broad, that posted this is for aure a troll..

By the way, that percentage of officers killed via their own piece is a virtually static figure, as such hi's bounced back & forth from 12 to 15 for the last FORTY years!

Just remember, the IACP opposes ANYONE other than them having guns. & they don't even really trust each other.....A real bunch of goddamned phonys & big government control freaks!
