No, I would have to hate myself since I am a full time airline pilot, part time deputy and several of my close family members are LEOs locally and federal. I also donate my airplane for search and rescue, looking for meth cookers etc. I also was a FFDO "I resigned when I started flying internationally" so I have seen both sides. I was simply dispelling the myth that all LEOs meet the same standard of training that is vastly superior than FFDOs.

I give my brother in law who is a LEO grief all the time about speeding. It is my observation that a lot of LEOs speed all the time, it's sort of like calling a Pilot cheap.

My main concern as a FFDO was accidentally leaving my weapon in the hotel when I checked out. An accidental discharge handling the weapon the way we had too, as that is statistically when most accidental discharges happen. I believe that most FFDOs could be entrusted with strong carry, especially with a simple addition of weapon retention training during requal training.
