re: #7 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

A reserve cop who has had the gun training, or a retired one has a clear legal reason and ability to carry CCW in California where we have gotten at least that much right. All I have to know about a cop wanting to carry CCW is if he is of good standing. Past that, yeah he gets to carry. I do assert that as the right thing to have arranged under the law.

Why is that all you have to know? Why are you the one who gets to make these decisions, and not the local law enforcement?

I give law officers the presumed benefit of proper intent and need. And exemplary of how far beyond reason I think you would set the bar. It’s really odd to me you won’t.

Now for the other guy the one that carries cash as part of his job? As a thought experiment as the level of detail available is limited-A couple assumptions-No record of violence etc. He can get the training as a part of the application process. We have the need covered. we have established he is of good character.Need, training, character. All stipulated.

Now should he qualify or is that still not enough in your view? Or should I? You know quite a bit about my job in metals, and something of my past credentials to certify new instructors as good to take on classes.

Do you think I should be denied?
