Law enforcement do not have any place in the gun rights discussion.

If society is so dangerous that police have to have body armor, pistols, rifles, shotguns, armored vehicles, bulletproof windows in cars, dogs, etc., then is it really too much to ask that we be able to carry just a pistol without having to request permission and risk being denied?

Additionally, law enforcement should not be involved in any discussion about citizens having the right to carry a weapon, concealed or openly, with or without a permit. Members of law enforcement have no place in the discussion because their main concern is making their own job easier. Your rights are very far down their list of concerns.
