The city folks wanted to gun up and treat every body as deadly threats even when there was no cause to.
Your conservation officers/ Game wardens, rural officers handle armed citizens every hunting season with out trouble.
The problem I see normally comes from the top down if the Department has an anti gun mayor, police chief, city council.
They condone the mistreatment of gun owners and the 2nd amendment and some of the street officers follow their lead..
Welcome to OCDO, I hope you stay a while as a great deal of useful information can be had here. That said, a few have "attitudes" in dealing with LEOs of any variety so keep your flame suit handy.
I live in a city that "Fought the law", but the law won. Three serious MWAG incidents drew the public into lawsuits. This is not the best way to learn. On the last incident, two Citizens were included when the entire training program was rewritten for both LEOs AND the 911 dispatcher. LEOs saw us all as criminals, not because we were, but because the city council and mayor pushed it on them. See above (Truth) comments by FI.
I recommend getting copies of training bulletins from as many organizations as possible. We have most of Washington's on our sub-forum. Some read as tho we are bad guys and give info on "How to arrest" and some are more realistic on "How to interact with Legally Armed Citizens".
Please include some of the People here in your research to get the best document and the best training possible for the People in your area. We are not your adversaries.
Oh, yes. I added the underlined to your comment. I have had LEOs, in my town, tell me, repeatedly, that they supported us 100% but get harassment from above. That no longer happens
