CTO,
I was contemplating posting that statement from ISP as well. It is freaking frustrating.
It basically says that only the police are responsible enough with guns to possess them and that is simply ludicrous.
Fortunately, a major law enforcement publication recently published a survey that demonstrated that over 85% of LEO's nationwide are anti-gun control. That's a higher percentage than the rest of the population.
Statements like that from ISP are the drivel of ambitious administrators that don't represent the views of the majority of cops.
As another example of this sort of bureaucratic nonsense, I was attending a domestic violence prevention class a few years back when I worked in the family violence unit.
A speaker from DVIS was bragging on her new seven figure long-term lodging facility for victims. She made it clear that the victims could stay for up to one year.
"What then?" I asked.
She really didn't have a good answer for that.
I advised that for those seven figures I could have gotten 1000 victims a Glock and better firearms training than the police department gets.
The shelter protects about 40 women for up to a year.
I could have provided 1000 of them the means to protect themselves for the rest of their lives.
When I pressed the issue of effectiveness further, she said "We just can't do that."
It is that type of attitude that guarantees victims for life.
