87. i'm a cop near seattle
i support CCW, as do most cops i know. most cop-o-crats (ie appointed police chiefs, who are beholden to their mayoral and city council overlords) may not. most LINE cops, ie real cops ... do.

also, note the folklife shooting, last i checked, was a bit sketchy. iow, i'm not at all convinced the shooter did anything wrong. last i checked, it hadn't bee adjudicated. regardless, assume arguendo the concealed holder DID do something wrong. that's still one isolated incident.

i've been a cop for over 20 yrs, and i've worked here the majority of that time. CCW holders are extremely law abiding. i have yet to deal with any violent crime committed by a CCW holder and their gun. i've dealt with several where they lawfully used a firearm for self defense. i know that statistically, a CCW holder is MUCH less likely to assault or try to kill me than almost any other demographic save maybe mormon grandmothers.
