I say "Cop" aka corrections officer. This is what the cons called us and we called ourselves that after hearing it often enough. I retired with 17 years inside Michigan state prisons and finally got a permit to carry under the new "shall issue" law that went into effect some years ago. I carried concealed all the time as I lived in prison towns close to the prison I worked at and I live alone so I was always armed. I moved to NY, big error. When I got here all my handguns were confiscated and I was threatened with arrest on a felony for transporting weapons across state lines. I did not get my guns back for over a year and then a draconian judge denied my right to carry and would not honor my Michigan license! I could lock them all up or hunt with them. I do not hand gun hunt. To me, a handgun is for personal protection, hidden if possible from the attacker. That is impossible now that I am 70 and handicapped. I tried to get an FFL license but even that is impossible.
I eventually sold all my handguns at a huge loss to a gun dealer in town. Made me sick to my stomach too.
OK, my last resort is "open carry" I will do that if I will not get arrested. My life in a prison as an x corrections officer would be sure death. I will be watching this web site closely for any breaking news on the subject of open carry which I favor completely!:banana:
