Study confirming what OCCCWS and other sources have always said…Killers and Criminals are Killers and Criminals, whether their victim is in uniform or not.  

The FBI recently completed a major study of shootings of police officers. Titled ‘Violent Encounters: Felonious Assaults on America’s Law Enforcement Officers.’ Since its publication, the existence of the damning report on the five-year study by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about how cop-killing criminals ignore gun laws, and where they get their guns, has not been publicized. Calgunlaws.com has one of the first copies of the report obtained publicly.

Here’s what top law enforcement officers from around the country have to say about CCW permits:

“I lobbied against the (concealed carry) law in 1993 and 1995 because I thought it would lead to wholesale armed conflict. That hasn’t happened. All the horror stories I thought would come to pass didn’t happen. No bogeyman. I think it has worked out well, and that says good things about the citizens who have permits. I’m a convert.”

Glenn White, president, Dallas Police Association

“From a law enforcement perspective, the licensing process has not resulted in problems in the community from people arming themselves with concealed weapons.”

Commissioner James T. Moore,
Florida Department of Law Enforcement

“Some of the public safety concerns (over right-to-carry) which we imagined or anticipated a couple of years ago, to our pleasant surprise, have been unfounded or mitigated.”

Police Major Bill Brown,
Fairfax County, Virginia
