Funny since, most of the police providing security at BOK center events are "off duty" even though they are in uniform and driving their TPD issued cruisers.
Yep, getting paid to do off duty work.

When my shift is over and I go home, my responsibilities to protect myself and my family don't end either. If off-duty are allowed to carry, I should be allowed to carry too.

That's because TPD are allowed/encouraged to work off-duty jobs while in uniform and in their cruiser. If something were to go down, they are expected to leave their off-duty post and go to wherever the threat is.
Are you an LEO?
No. That's the point.
Yeah, mine too.
What "data" are you referencing? Just out of curiousity a few questions for you: 1. When was the last time you threw someone in jail? 2. When was the last time you took someone's child away? 3. When was the last time you took some gang bangers life that was trying to take yours? These are real world situations that the every day citizen most likely will never face. The people on the non LEO side of these equations and their families hold grudges. Our LEO community deserves the right to protect themselves from said individuals. Therefor, I think every LEO should be able to carry wherever they go. Unless you are a part of the LEO or military brotherhood, I don't expect you to understand. However, I'm a firm believer that if "civilians" took more than a ONE time 8 hour course and had to actually qualify with a firearm, they should be able to carry. If you, joe citizen, wants to devote 40+ hours a year, shoot a timed/structured qualification yearly and go through the legal side of it, I think you should be able to. However , as long as we have such a BS course to get your SDA, I don't think it should be allowed. If you want to compare self defense shootings along side LEO shootings , I think your trying to compare apples to oranges. And again, unless you have been on both sides, you probably won't understand.
