Ixtow is probably being a little bit sarcastic, but he's actually accurate. It's now all about:

This double standard exists beyond the gun range. This is why I don't particularly care for Colonial Gun Club here in Richmond. I have to completely disarm upon entering the building, but LEO are free to roam OCing.

Remember that responsibility is not a zero-sum game. There's plenty to go around. :)

Blame the criminal, fire the cop.

You know this won't happen, he will probably get a medical retirement with full pension for his PTSD from the guilt or something; that is if he doesn't stay on the force.
