This is why some police departments have reserve officers.

IMO, "ECHL" would not fill a valuable role in society.

Here, we agree.

As a property owner I can decide whether you come on my property based on your clothes. So I should be able to do the same for what you wear under your clothes.

Just to make sure that I am understood, maybe I should have expanded my statement about reserve officers. They have the same "privileges" as LEOs, since they are LEOs. What I meant is that the various departments, using reserve officers, can supplement the number of officers available for law enforcement activities without incurring the cost of hiring full-time LEOs.

IMHO, CHL holder should be a protected class as far as public accommodation law. In other words, posting a sign that says "No legal concealed carry" should be the same as one that says "No wheelchairs".

I like the idea of being part of the sheriff's posse. I just can't get ours to deputize me.
I would like for a chl to be able to carry the same place as leos. Not really interested in additional authority associated with it though. Too much potential liability.

I'm assuming that reserve officers are called to respond to a crisis such as a natural disaster, riot, etc., which makes them only helpful after the fact.
An ECHL would able to immediately respond on their own as would a regular CHL, only with superior training and ability carry in more places.

If an LEO requires assistance he/she can request the assistance of citizens. And they don't need no stinking badges.

I don't know if it's like in the old westerns where the sheriff can have you raise your right hand and throw you a tin shield.
I think they should have to wear capes or tiaras so good guys know who they are.
The attire alone could be compromised; therefore, the bona fide ECHL must also know and demonstrate the secret handshake and unique mating call of the ECHL.

Darn. Maybe that's why he hasn't done it yet.
