[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1844358, member: 3099"] I can see both of your points. I know several LEOs and ex-LEOs personally and would have not an inkling of a problem with them being issued MP5s, M4s, M16s, M14s or whatever they thought they needed while working (and hell they can take them home too and keep them when they retire for all I care). On the other hand they are in the vast minority when compared to their peers in regards to firearm proficiency. In other words they know what the hell they are doing. Have you compared the qualification requirements today with say, back in the '70s? To say that the average LEO is proficient is laughable. Some departments might have good qualification requirements. I can attest that I have reliable info that some do not and I'll just leave it at that. And if we John Q citizens can show we are proficient can we go get one? LEOs are no different than us as far as firearms law is concerned. Or are they? [/QUOTE]
