Police chiefs poll

Posted by David Hardy · 30 June 2005 04:16 PM

The National Assn of Chiefs of Police has released its annual poll of police chiefs and sheriffs. Among the results:

93.6% stated they support private ownership of firearms.

63.% believe that liberalizing concealed carry will reduce crime.

On the side, 28% supported decriminalizing marihuana, and 42% supported medicinal marihuana.

The firearm results are encouraging, since this is a poll of the top dogs in each department, who have historically tended to be much less pro-gun than the average officer working for them.

I covered this in my last "Guns 'n' RKBA Round-Up." (

"Nevertheless, this survey isn't very helpful, because the respondents are a non-random sample (and they don't even bother to tell us how many respondents there were, which isn't a good sign). That's a shame, because the responses are very encouraging."

That open parenthesis was supposed to enclose a leftward-pointing arrow, and the words "shameless self-promotion." Beware the inadvertent use of HTML tags!
