Why do people keep going back to the off duty LEO baloney?

According to friends at the SLPD, LEO's are not exempt from needing a CHL to conceal carry on or off duty and are subject to following the same laws the rest of us have to follow.

I do not believe you are getting good information. Can you provide a link or something more solid than hearsay?

You might be correct! See this link http://gunningtx.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/cops-carry/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have often seen people carrying bags and cases that didn't seem to fit the norm and raised my suspicions. The tennis racket cases and covert carry rifle case are anything but covert. Especially when when you take them to the office or the mall. As CHL's who are always looking for ways to put more things in less space we to notice thngs more than most people. There is always the occasional " printer" whom you suspect is carrying.

I always wanted to say "Hey, what kind of gun are you carrying?" 1. Because I really want to know. 2. To let them know they are not as concealed as they might think. But i never say anything.

No one has ever said anything to me and I'm positive that I have either printed or otherwise had the gun exposed at onetime or another. It happens even when you are wearing the right clothes.
