Not sure why exactly. The only thing it does for a Texas Peace Officer is afford you to buy a gun without a background check. I'm thinking it's kinda a pre-retirement crisis or something.

I will be getting mine soon. I am taking the course in a couple of weeks. I am guessing a post-retirement crisis.

At least it's cheaper than boats.

I don't think I would if I weren't a cop, knowing what I do, but they already have all my stuff.

No retirement commission there?  Most guys your age would retire from the city and go to the S.O. for a few more years.

When you walk in and buy a gun the first time, and fill out the 4473 then walk out, like in the old days, you'll be glad you got it. I truly enjoy having mine.

Let's you carry out of state. I am not up on LEO rules, but it used to be you could not carry in another state without a CC permit. It also lets you carry if you get 'suspended' for some reason.

I actually have two. The first is the standard Kentucky CCDW. I got it just before I retired, and then I got my LEOSA credentials after I retired.
I keep up with both, religiously.
Can't have too many safety nets.

I've had mine for several years. It helps when traveling, and I try to be careful about what states I drive through, or land in. I also enjoy not dealing with a back round check when I buy a gun. Does the government know I have guns, yeah they did long before I got my CHL, so it is what it is.

As a cop you cant just buy a gun but a cch holder can. And they wonder why we all think gov. is all f...up. Hell, They gave you a gun.

Pat any day now when they see what a jack booted thug he is to us good ole boys on here. 
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

The great thing about the TX CHL is that we have reciprocal agreements with 35 or 36 other states.
And several LEO's I know got their TX CHL because they got tired of getting delayed by NICS every time they bought a gun.
And I understand that the TX Dept of Public Safety is currently swamped with new applicants.

I think there's probably a run on them. I was talking to a 60-ish woman who was working at Home Depot, a couple days after San Bernadino. She was biting the bullet to get hers.

The CCW permit closes a gap created by the Gun Free School Zones Act of 1990. It is more theoretical as it pertains to active duty LE within the state of commission (depending on state law), but it is a real problem for retired LE relying on LEOSA. It only closes the gap in the state of residence. If you need chapter and verse, give me a call sometime.
Like CT said, you can't have too many safety nets.

Yeah...LEO's can carry in any State, and we've already done everything a CHL holder has done and much more. I just like the thought of being human.
