Um, where did I say anything about disarmimg the police? If they're on duty, I think it would be insane for them not to have weapons, especially in this day and age. I just want them better trained if they're going to carry and it really would be nice if they could hit what they're aiming at. What I really don't want them is to have them carrying off duty if they're going to be drinking. But, then, I don't want them driving and drinking, either. Do you?

And if my viewpoint that I don't see the need for a concealed weapons license to be handed out to every one who "qualifies" is hypocritical, so be it. As I said, if there is a true, proven need, then I understand why someone would carry. I still don't understand why someone would want a gun in their home, in their car or on their body if they didn't have to.
