Lawman said:Mass... sorry to hear that. But hey I live in Ohio and we're the Bluest red state in the Union, so I feel your pain as to assinine rules put together by people who ignore logic in regards to firearms. I especially loved not being able to wear my sidearm offduty as a LEO if a buisness decided to put up a sign saying that no one that respects the law can have a firearm on the premises. That kind of crap really shows its ignorance after an Off-duty OHP officer was shot and killed at a buisness which did not allow him to carry his weapon.
As far as I'm concerned, you have zero right over any other citizen to carry concealed off-duty. You are off-duty, period. Just like the military. HOWEVER, I have no problem automatically issuing concealed carry permits to police officers. That makes sense and it is what should be done.
I'm with you on those bullsh!t signs though. You can't just opt to not adhere to a law like that. It's crap.
