A lot of this legislation isn't worth the paper it has been drafted on, but maybe the membership could consider supporting H.R.218. As I understand it, it would allow all LEO's the ability to carry concealed across the entire US. As an LEO, I would like the ability to protect myself and others in case of a crime, terrorist, etc., without having to worry about some state line and differing state laws.
