  A LEO has a "Sworn Duty" to walk into harm's way. A private citizen does NOT.
A LEO can be sued into bankruptcy [and are] for failing to perform their duties. Thus, the government allows ... more »

  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.

  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.
