Like professional poker players might refer to casual tourists as "civilians". This might be more of a slang term, though. I'm not sure how this relates to the topic of this thread, though.
It sounds like a term of derision. Like a mark.

I also completely agree with your last comment. I wish they were not a necessity. :iagree:

As to the what we can carry, I believe a free people should be able to own any and all firearms, tanks, whatever. If we use them to harm others there should be stiff consequences.

I understand language matters, and correct words can make a big difference. I also understand we use words to communicate ideas, and if we (as a people) differ on some terms, but understand the intended message, we can get along. :cheers2:

The origin and correct usage of terms like rights, privilege authority duty morals ethics, etc could be an interesting and lively debate in a different time and place. :boxing
I'm truly pleased we could find common ground.

That is correct. Subject to UCMJ.

I think we will not agree on the symantics of the definition. I'm ok with that.

I am ok to be a civilian, not a subject.

More on topic I suppose, I believe police must work within the laws, and they obviously have more law enforcement authority than I do. I would like to carry where they can, but if I can't, I still want them to. I don't think they should get perks due to the job, but it happens. Every Leo I know personally speeds and never stops at stop signs in their personal car.
I don't see it as semantics to claim the police have a right to arrest. I see it as dangerous.

They have more law enforcement authority than I do too, because I don't have any. But that doesn't confer rights.

Why are police authorized to carry firearms in the performance of their duties?

Why do I have the right to bear arms?

They do have additional responsibilities and we all know it is immoral delegate responsibility without authority.

The police do not have the right to arrest me. They have the responsibility and therefore the authority to do so if and when they have probable cause.

There is a huge difference in my book.

Laws and police are an unfortunate necessity. Would that it were not so.

Re: Manager at Texas Whataburger denies service to detective because of his gun

A right is a possessed power of a freedom to do or freedom from.

Police have no more rights than any other person in this country. Nor should they refer to us as civilians, as they are themselves.

What they have are specified delegated authorities to perform the functions of their assigned tasks.

I’m not a LEO but it’s seems logical if he has his badge on display he is representing himself as a LEO, and a gun and a badge are a matched set. Why would a uniform even come into the conversation? He does have special rights. He can arrest people, that’s a special right. Doesn’t make him royalty, but he should be able to carry the tools of his trade.
It's not a right. It's a delegated authority.
What’s the difference.? All “rights” are delegated from somewhere/someone. Constitution, God, nature, HOA, My boss...bottom line he has the authority. Symantics.
I completely disagree.
