Feel better now?
In my own more than 20 years of not anecdotal but real experience, the people who have the biggest problem with the MPs were always the 11Bs. I know because I was one for as long as I've been an MP. And the grunts that hated the MPs the worst? Those who had been detained by them because they were doing something wrong. And if you want to take it as "crowing" that I stated I'll be happy to be able to carry under LEOSA after 26 years of service on active duty, the reserves and National Guard as a private to staff sergeant and then as an officer, two deployments and thousands of rounds through an M9, then go right ahead. I'll crow all I want. I think I've earned it.
But I have thick skin and you can say whatever you want about the MPs. What concerns me more is that you seem to be opposed to giving MORE people freedom to concealed carry. So I assume that you don't think any 19 year old Soldiers in Maine should be able to carry, either, right (as allowed under the new law)? Or do you just think MPs who are 19 shouldn't be able to carry while the rest of the military can?
I always forget that on NES the statists come out of the woodwork when they have a pet peeve or issue.
And by the way, the number of "careers I've ruined over nothing" stands at zero. Because I, like most MPs, spend much more of my time driving on IED infested roads than I do acting as a LEO. Especially MPs in the Guard who only perform LEO duties when called upon by the governor and even then have very limited authority and no ability to ruin anyone's day, much less career or life.
