Reply #53: Police who live in gun friendly states have a far different attitude...

[spin]

toward gun ownership and concealed carry than police who live in areas where concealed carry is not allowed and the ownership of firearms is heavily restricted.

In Florida, for example, the overwhelming majority of police officers have no problems with honest citizens having loaded weapons in their house or vehicle and feel that those with concealed carry permits are trustworthy and present very little or no danger to society.

Obviously, when "shall issue" concealed carry passed in Florida many police officers were concerned and thought it was a terrible idea. I predict that in a year or two, most park rangers will feel that allowing armed citizens to have firearms in national parks provided far more of a plus than a minus.

It seems logical to say "more guns = more crime". It also seems logical to say that the world is flat. Both statements have been proven false.
