    And wrong. But we can agree to disagree. This is the first step to allow CCWs to be recongized nationwide.

    I have a problem with special treatment in general. But the thing disturbs me the most is #6113:

    "Eliminates law enforcement officials from being subject to implied consent for alcohol testing."

    Can somebody explain this to me?

    Allowing law enforcement officers the ability to carry that the rest of the populace is not allowed to enjoy will NEVER lead to CCW privelages being extended.
    The state is saying that only people who work for the state can exercise the right freely.
    That is not extending rights-that is just giving more power and authority to the state, and has nothing to do with the right to bear arms.

    Allowing special CCW privileges for off-duty/retired LEO's has absolutely no correlation to allowing national carry for private citizens. If the lawmakers wanted to allow private citizens national carry, they'd pass a bill that says so. Such a law would automatically include LEO's without having to specifically target (no pun intended) them. I doubt that national reciprocity will ever happen.
