I've done quite a bit of reading on the officer.com forums and the reactions, responses and general attitudes about citizens carrying firearms in CA is absolutely beyond my comprehension. Some, obviously not all, of the contributors there are about the most anti-2nd Amendment, anti-Constitutional people I've ever come across.
I think the biggest problem is not the cops themselves but the anti gun sentiment that permeates California's culture. The guys I work with past and present are pro carry, but then I am not in Cali. In my experience the most anti carry cops are the more politically placed ones, ie chiefs,Sheriffs and the like. Thankfully the ones in my area are not.
