Cops, your take on gun rights?

Question

How do most law enforcement officers feel about civilians owning firearms?

Answer 1

you have to have a license to conceal them

So without it it is illigal.. most cops dont mind. aslong as your a good person

Answer 2

I think you would find that most police officers believe in the Constitution. We have the right as long as a person is responsible, it is a good thing.

Answer 3

I'm not a cop, how should I know

Answer 4

Most officers/deputies are in favor of the Second Amendment. Those that aren't are in the higher political positions (ie, chiefs) who have to carry out their bosses wishes (ie, city councils - politicians).

Answer 5

Zero problem with law abiding citizens carrying a legally held gun. Knowing what I now know, I think its crazy for a citizen not to be in a position to protect themselves.

I had a CCW prior to becoming a cop, and will do so when I cease being a cop. I've encouraged my friends and family to exercise their second amendment rights.

Answer 6

I fully support civilians owning firearms so long as they go about obtaining the firearms legally, know how to handle the weapon and are responsible.

Answer 7

Gun rights and ownership is a good thing.

Answer 8

When I was a cop, it didn't mater if someone owned a gun, as long as they weren't a t**d. People have that right, you know.
