Thought this thread was about the State Fair? So yeah, now, this year, we serfs would be arrested and permits pulled. September and after its a felony for us serfs. Won't even be able to take my new lady to dinner without that threat.
Maybe maybe not.. the judge hasn't made his decision on the injunction

It’s ok, man. There’s no threat unless you’re a retired cop. Or author. Or just somebody, anybody or even nobody special. But there’s laws now to protect us. It’s all we need. And muskets. Don’t forget your muskets!
There's a huge difference between "controlling the situation" and being an authoritarian drunk on his own power, with an ego to match.
The truth is, a huge number of LEO's go into the profession simply for the power. Those are the very people that should be nowhere near power.
You take an oath to uphold the constitution, but your fealty lies with your superiors. Very few will protect the constitution if their superiors give them the order to do differently.
You pledge to protect and serve, but are far more interested in revenue enhancement than stopping or solving crime. How do I know ? Go down to Avenue D or whatever section of your city is a "bad" area. There is criminal activity happening openly, with no enforcement action. You're far more interested in turning some guy in the suburbs with a broken taillight and an ammo can in the back seat into a criminal. Why ? Because that guy isn't likely to shoot you ! Them gang bangers down on Avenue D will not only shoot you, they will laugh about it and post it on youtube. Uvaldi seems like a damn good example of that. They arrested or detained how many people outside bit didnt want to go inside.
I love LEOSA. I love the fact that I am usually not restricted to where I can and cannot carry. I am not special, bestter looking than most here, just not special. If I get special permissions that others do not get, so be it. I will exercise those permissions. I would be a fool not to.
My family is the most important thing to me, my family is more important than other families are. I would hope that all feel the same.
Depending on who and what is working the gates will decide for me if I am going to the fair. If I can find the right gates where the right people are working, I will enter the fair; if not, I will not be going. No way I am going to that White Trash festive, and hangout for city thugs unarmed. Not going to happen.

That’s not the point. Some of you don’t recognize that there is a substantially higher threat for LEOs and former LEOs. And that’s why the lawmakers made the exception.
It wasn’t a bribe in the sense to get LEOs to enforce this stupid new law. It was to be able to retain and be able to recruit LEOs in the future. Not to enforce this particular law. Even “non gun “ cops won’t take the job if they are disarmed including those who choose not to be armed off duty all the time.
Just recognize that there is a higher threat in general. It doesn’t mean that your right to defend yourself should be diminished.
yep. Absolutely. I’m not against standard magazines. The difference is the guilt trip. The NYS state government via proxy trained NYS police to use those magazines so they have some responsibility to that muscle memory. The unions used that to guilt them into it. If it makes you feel better Out of state retired cops don’t get that exception either.

Lmfao there was no confusion..
The unions did their thing and the special people got their way..
And yes anyone that can exploit their privileges go for it, it's the ones that only care about that and think they are more deserving than others, are the ones that can fuck off
I exploit and use all that I can. I love LEOSA, but I think it is bullshit. When we all realize that no one person or one group of persons is more important than another; life will be better.
Is my safety a bit more of a concern due to my profession? Sure, maybe some. Should not give me more than the next. I knew what I was getting into when I took the job. Just like serving in the Arly for so long, I knew there was a good chance that my ticket would be punched, still served, still enjoyed all the time.

Yes, we don’t recognize that LEOs and retired LEOs face a substantially higher threat than, say, pizza delivery boys.
Do you have any data that suggests otherwise ?

If the pizza delivery person is also off duty, how often are they attacked for being a pizza boy?
And a lot of cops moonlight as pizza delivery because their pay doesn’t make ends meet until they reach top pay.
The job hours are flexible enough to work around the police schedule.

Again, a lot of rookie cops are pizza delivery people, come from dangerous neighborhoods etc etc.
Pizza delivery cars rarely are damaged for just being pizza delivery vehicles . Cops personal vehicles ( off duty/retired /active) are often vandalized if the car can be identified as a cop’s car including removal lug nuts, flatting of tires, breaking of windows, and other damages.
Pizza delivery people rarely have their children threatened.

When you are doing your job, criminals avoid you like the plague.
The pizza delivery guy is looked at as a walking ATM.
I know you can't let the "specialness" go because your identity is so heavily invested in it, but the facts and plain statistics clearly refute it. Cops are not an especially high risk group for crime or retaliation.
The guy who shuts off the cable TV for non payment is more at risk.
News articles like that are anecdotes. The plural of which is not data. We all know that which incidents make the news are cherry picked for many reasons, and accurately portraying the real world is the bottom of that list.
The bottom line is that being a cop in general is going to make you less likely to be attacked at random. If some mugger sees 2 middle class guys in the street, and wants to mug one, how do you think recognizing one as a cop is going to influence that decision LOL.

I am picking up what you are trying to put down and I gotta say, does it really matter? I do not mean this in a negative manner.
100,00's of thousands of people are attacked daily in the US, too me, it does not matter why they are attacked. They are attacked by the vermin that lives among us. No one group of people is more important than the next.
In my current position, we are more than aware of higher level of attacks. We parked our vehicles far away form work, most of us ensure there are no markings on our vehicles that would identify what we do, we take precautions. We walk out at night with at least one person with us.
The world in which I work, I am surrounded by scum each and every minute of every shift. We are not special. Not at all.
