LEO's need to understand the difference between people who legally carry and those who don't.  Just like those who legally drink and have someone else drive and those who don't.  I truly appreciate the work that our LEO's do, they are expose to risk that most of us (me included) could not comprehend. I understand how their views can be tainted, but we need to work on helping them see the bigger picture.  Those with closed minds, not much we can do about it but stick to our rights and understand the law.  This forum helps me on do just that.

To be honest, I've only had one interaction with an LEO who I'd say was apparently anti-gun even for law-abiding citizens.  The rest were either simply cautious, which is understandable, or had no problem with legal carry.  Every group has it's bad apple's, and cops are no exception.  Thankfully, they are usually removed from their position if they get too blatant in their unprofessional behaviors.
Gun related issues are, by nature, deadly serious.  Still, you have to maintain a sense of humor about them.
