Again, how does it make someone a special class by recognizing they fulfill the requirements of a really a loose standard?
Say we refuse, as a populace, to not abide by or recognize the requirement, who and where do we get our guns from? If you sidestep a law or policy, there is no proof of harm and you have no standing. At worst, you break a law that gets affirmed and you pay a penalty in fines or liberty.
The best bet is to vote, which most gun owners in the state of WA don't seem to do. You get the government you didn't vote for, the appointed policy makers that favor their ideology, and the enforcement that will work in their philosophy.
For those of us who were factually economical about our leanings and got hired anyway, you get a certain level of non-compliance through plausible deniability and all sorts of .gov employee tricks.
But its funny when people who didn't vote or didn't get others to vote, then give LE the dick-eye for the enforcement of the law they didn't fight. "We all failed by means of apathy....but how dare you NOT fix it!"
I appreciate your candid discussion of this topic but I don't believe we are all understanding each other.
Are you suggesting that despite the law being unconstitutional the best bet is to go along to get along?
What I hear you saying is you meet or exceed the training required and that training should be acknowledged as the proposed legislation suggests. I'm trying to understand why your training and qualifications are better than mine just because of your occupation.
Once we get this law what prevents the lawmakers from moving the goal posts?
Where do we draw the line with regard to qualifications? Can we write in an acknowledgment for active duty military, retired LEO, or retired military? How about trained security guards? This is why the proposed law is self serving.
This is why the underlying unconstitutional law should be enforced equitably upon ALL citizens.
We clearly don't agree so I'm really trying to understand your position. My position is that LEO everywhere should reject this proposal because the underlying law it supports is unconstitutional and is the antithesis to liberty and freedom.
So.... lets get down to the brass tacks of purchasing a so called "assault rifle". How do LEO get the traingin acknowledgement at the gun counter? Do you have a certificate to present or do you simply display a government issued ID and a badge?
