Somehow, I suspect that the Secret Service, the Capitol Police and the various other federal security organs take somewhat more scrutiny of everyone than Texas does.
CCW Reciprocity in Washington DC!!! I hope so!!!

Piggybacking a bit on Biku's comments, the role of a military police soldier kind of sucks. When you're in Garrison, you're that guy stuck patrolling and on details with no end and your daily life kind of sucks. You're kind of the blue falcon and the definition of a Pogue or a wannabe. I mean, who ever heard of the military police in a cool guy contest? (Not saying that's reality but that's the perception I had as an infantry Medic when I was in.) at least combat engineers and other people get to do cool stuff, military police were just the narcs. No one wanted to see them.
More to the point, I'd bet a lot of of the people working in civilian law-enforcement with military jobs simply don't want to do law-enforcement as a full-time career everywhere.

And let's not forget the obvious precedent set here: if the president can simply decide that there is a problem, and can deploy National Guard soldiers, federal law-enforcement, and potentially even the active duty military to perform direct law-enforcement tasks upon the citizens of the country, who's to say what the scope of that problem and the corrective action actually are?
Right now, we're talking about board national guardsman, cleaning up trash and walking some patrols in the nice parts of DC.
But the same legal framework that got them here could easily be used to try and send them door-to-door searching for dissidents.

It is a double edged sword and history should remind us that things that sounded good or started out as good can become nightmares and disasters.
Ok then. Let's stick with the facts…… Albuquerque NM's mayor and NM governor's favorite color is blue. YOUR favorite color is blue. Therefore every thing that was done in DC is wrong. Blue good. Red bad. It's obvious in every post you've ever made what side of the aisle your on. And that's fine. Because I'm sure it's obvious what side I'm on. The difference is you talk in circles (condescendingly) and try to hide it. Just own it. Stopping trying to baffle people with BS. They still won't agree with you but they'd respect you

Would like to see DC allow CCW and hopefully have reciprocity with other states.
Now, if we could just get Maryland to open up to CCW permit reciprocity--they are a PITA, too.

Ah, now we're at the real issue.
Crime is not political. Football is not political. Electricity is not political. Trying to pretend everything in life is political only makes rational discussion difficult.
No kidding. That's my point.
True, but it seems the Gov of IL is taking sides with the criminals and blaming POTUS, therefore making crime political.
I agree. In an effort to get thread back on track.
So this means you do not have substantial law enforcement experience?

Yes, they do. Try reading the US Constitution (hint: it's the 23rd Amendment)!

Actually - THAT is the problem, you see everything as RED or BLUE, regardless of other factors or facts. MANY posters have pointed out QUITE distinct differences in situation between NM and DC, and you "colorize" them away. You see what you look for, if all you look for is RED or BLUE that is all you are going to see regardless of what is there.
Actually my friend , I do not. I was pointing out that the gentleman I quoted does seem too. There is a long history of it……… I see right and wrong. Not blue and red. In fact I've had very cordial and constructive PM conversations with members here who are of a different ideology than me. The difference is we listen to one another and don't immediately dismiss each other's opinions. In fact we sometimes find common ground. But it's a conversation not a lecture. That's the difference
Three electoral votes.
I stand corrected, thanks.
Safest county in the US...Nassau County N.Y. Only 3 homicides this year to date. Population 1.5 million. Safer than what VT has become. They love and support their cops, no problems recruiting, they defy the state and partner with ICE...no excuses, they just get the job done. How refreshing, unlike so many of the excuses I have read in this thread that attempt to defend the indefensible.
Good grief...
I deleted a number of rude and insulting replies. I'm sure I missed a bunch, but I'm not wading through 6 pages.
