I know this topic has been covered, but I have a specific question on the matter.
Now, I know there are certain criterion that must be met in order to be considered for this, but as long as the local pd signs off, how likely is it for one of these to get approved by the state licensing authority? I know a few people who have them, and it seems the hardest part (besides my LE acquaintances that is) is getting the local PD to sign off on them. I'm not necessarily going to waste $100 applying for one just to see, because even if I do get approved (which the odds didn't actually look too unfavorable) I could never justify spending thousands of dollars on something that is going to cost me thousands more to feed...which is one of the reasons I don't have kids yet!
