I like the idea of tools to help mitigate my (and my family's) assumed risk.
But you don't know for sure until you ask, do you? The worst thing that can happen is they'll say 'no', and if they do, what did you lose from how things are currently being run?

The 2nd amendmant suffers much the same way. Both sides of the debate, if there really is any debate, are far too scared to take up the issue of the 2nd Amendment with a higher court. After all, the case could be settled for once and for all, and not necessarily in favor of either side of the fence. Hence, no real debate over the 2nd Amendmant standing as it is, but rather enforce unconstitutional laws for the ownership of and the right to keep and bear arms.
Elitist attitudes towards gun owners are common, be it from LEO agencies as a whole, or collective body, or from those that feel any one with a gun lacks proper training, or at least equivalent to their own. Tactical and Self Defense handgun courses are two different animals, at least from the perspective of military and civillian self defense training. What would it take for X_SF_MED to feel comfortable with my level of pistol training, experience and or both ?
