I started a thread asking if non-uniform off duty or ex LEOs ever carry openly or primarily CC. I seems that at least in urban areas most non-uniform off duty or ex LEOs CC if they carry. Now for a slightly different question.
Do most ex LEOs carry either openly or CC if they can?
I suspect that most ex LEOs have seen so much crap while in service that they, more than the population in general, are aware of how often bad things can happen to good people no matter where they may be. Therefore, no matter how safe their community may be they will prefer to carry a handgun for protection just in case.
I ask this question because I know that a lot of people in this country and in other countries think that those of us who are not LEOs and carry are not quite right in the head. We are either paranoid or Walter Murpy types who just want others to know that we are bad dudes I at least am not such a person and carry because of the crap I have seen and heard of as a civilian and want no more than to be as reasonably safe from crime as possible.
