Special Exemptions for Cops?

Public Servants Seek Immunity from Gun Laws they Enforce;
Gun Rights Leaders Say No Thanks!

As this report entails an entire website dedicated to exposing the nonsense of giving law enforcement officers national concealed carry special exemptions while concealed carry prohibitions continue to be enforced against the people, this file is simply here as a marker so people can find the site in our search engine and in our police-related archives.

The actual report is found here: http://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/CopsOnlyCCW/.

Contained in that report is the following table of contents:

Introduction
H.R. 218 & Its History
Law Enforcement Supporters
Gun Rights Leaders' Positions
Objections to Such Legislation
How the Bill is Being Promoted
Conclusion
Take Action
Acknowledgements

While numerous police organizations push for special, illegal exemptions from concealed carry laws for their members, plenty of them are not gun owners' friends. You'll also see a rather large coalition of gun rights groups and leaders who flatly oppose such nonsense -- and much more, some of it quite ugly.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms is for THE PEOPLE. Anyone who has a problem with that has a problem with me.

QUOTES TO REMEMBER

"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004)
