Smith I get the impression that you think I'm placing more value on [any] LEO's life than any other law abiding individual. I believe that no criminals life is worth more than any LEO's, private

I think it's amusing that we as individuals believe a criminals life is worth nothing and they deserve to die, however we as a society often treat them better than we do our fellow law abiding man

You're walking on a slippery slope when you rate a criminal's life as important as a law enforcement officer's. It's my opinion that a criminal isn't qualified or worthy enough to

Trust me, things have been stirred up enough today! We all need a break. I agree though, there's nothing better than our Emergency Service providers. They're the finest this planet has to offer!

Yah, we all get a bit goofy sometimes! That's what makes us individuals. Our Emergency Service personnel are some of the best, most dedicated people on this planet. They deserve every consideration that can be provided. It's just the right thing to do.

It's not an issue that their life is "more" important than yours. But it's still mighty damn important to me, his/her fellow Officers and above all else, their families. No human life

I have purchased a few Brands that have been stamped, L.E.Only or L.E. Edition. I think that's just a Sales Gimminck by the Companies to get you to purchase their Ammo. I know at least in Florida Cops cannot carry Hollowpoints. I don't know about elsewhere.

All of my +P hollow points and my Winchester Ranger STX hollowpoints are marked LE ONLY. In NC and every other state I have lived in hollowpoints are the standard for LEOs(and for good reason)
