CCW does not equal armed at work.
Just to surface for a moment:
Anyone note that this is NOT a CCW concern? Law enforcement gets CCW so they can be armed and responsive 24/7 because they have a duty to respond 24/7. Having a firearm on your uniform belt does not require nor will it give you the permit to carry loaded guns, concealed or otherwise, around on your off time.
As I noted last year or sometime ago, most LE is wise to dodges to get a CCW permit (becoming a "coroner's deputy" is an old and venerable if useless one, same for most "bodyguard" applications).
If you want to argue about right to carry, get out of your chairs, right now, strap on your holster or get out your rifle, load your weapon, carry it in plain sight (no "CCW" necessary, right?) then walk one mile out and one mile back in a commercial or retail district and see what happens. GO by an elementary school if possible. Stop by and go inside McDonald's. Drive with it on the front passenger seat and bust a stop sign and see the reaction when pulled over. "Put the rubber on the road" for this discussion and report back.
