In DC
Retired officers forced to sue D.C. for right to carry guns after receiving threats. They’ll be using The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act.

Any power of arrest no matter how limited qualifies. DC will loose on this just like the BOP did.

Nope. No special privileges. Retired LEO’s should have to jump through the same hoops us peons do.

That’s kinda where I’m at on this.
If they didn’t fight for “ordinary” citizens rights when they had a badge on, now that they have their retirement badge they can do the same dance.

“If they didn’t fight for “ordinary” citizens rights when they had a badge on, now that they have their retirement badge they can do the same dance.”
Yup. No more “Good for me, but not for thee”. I’d be in favor of going back and finding out what they believed regarding the second amendment, and treating them accordingly. That way a pro-liberty cop (if there ever was one in DC) wouldn’t get caught in the net of the anti-liberty cops. That’s be the Oath Keepers keeping their freedom and the Oath Breakers getting their due in some small part.
But then, look at what we’re doing. We’re trying to decide who should and who should not be allowed to exercise an enumerated right. Ideally, the Oath Breakers would be in jail right now, right along with all the other criminals (violators of rights), and everyone else should be free of any and all infringements.

So how do we get members of a group that has been, for their entire careers, protected by preferential legal treatment differing from that of everyone else to support the rights they are screaming for, but for everyone else, too, instead of just them?
Get these guys on the side of pro-rights protests and they might prove valuable allies.
I say we all are in this together. Let’s convince this group of special pleaders that they are in this with us, not against us.
