If I understand police regulations correctly (one of you LEOs please correct me if my assumptions are wrong), the department you work for can not only mandate the type of gun you carry but most importantly the type of holster you use to carry it - meaning the type of retention. I'm not 100% sure what the classifications Level 1 Level 2 Level retention all mean (again, LEOs, feel free to fill in the blanks here). But here's my idea (jumped in my head reading flintknapper's response to one of Charles' open carry polls mentioning need for specific open carry training.
What if an open carry bill could pass, but it mandated that only certain types of holsters be used (to avoid the scenario of a bad-guy snatching a good guy's gun out of the holster in order to use it to commit a crime)? One of the original selling points of CONCEALED carry, as I remember, was that no one (including bad guys) would know who was and who was not carrying.
What if Open Carry Law says a) must have additional training and b) guns must be carried in a Level 3 retention holster or whatever. ??
Anyway, just another little point for all of y'all to argue about .... I'm enjoying reading from the sidelines a bit
