Nothing directly firearm related.

We should make a good push for the correction officers CCW.  I think it makes a good bridge between LE and civilian CCWs.  I beg the AG and HPD will be against it.  But it'll get the committee thinking hard about the benefits of CCW for non-LE, and warm them up for the civilian CCW bills ahead.

No one has posted any further arguments for this bill, nor any arguments against my reasoning. Here is a lawsuit that presents some extended versions of my arguments, in this particular case against providing a different standard (i.e. "no" standards or criteria other than being a retired LEO) than required of "ordinary citizens". The same arguments apply in the case of this Hawaii proposed law re "corrections officers" being held to a different ("no") standard than ordinary citizens.

The good thing about the corrections CCW bill is, we can use their support for the civilian CCW testimony. As I said previously, we need outside organizations and unions to help us pass CCW, and I think the corrections union would be a big help.  It would be very difficult to get their support while opposing their bill.  It's strategy.

Do you have definite knowledge that that union, or any other union, is interested in supporting "civilian" CCW? Have they lobbied the committee chairs to hold hearings on the current crop of "shall issue" CCW laws? Or only for the law that would enable them to CCW? What other "outside organizations" are likely to support "shall issue" CCW, why haven't they done so in the past, and what will change that will end up with them supporting it?
