As long as these laws are in place i believe the police should abide by them too. To give the LEO community an exception shows me that they are seen above the law. I know you are not arguing the laws are BS but at the same time you are implying the LEOs are above the law because they have to protect them self's, well as the courts have shown i have to protect myself too. To say LEOs may have a higher frequency to need a gun so they need the best weapons at their disposal elevates them to paramilitary status.
