"Guns in bars. Guns in airports. Guns in day care centers and sports arenas. Conservative state lawmakers around the country are pressing to weaken an array of gun regulations, in some cases greatly expanding where owners can carry their weapons.
But the legislators are encountering stiff opposition from what has been a trusted ally: law enforcement.
In
more than a dozen states with traditions of robust support for gun
ownership rights, and where legislatures have moved to relax gun laws
during the past year, the local police have become increasingly vocal in
denouncing the measures. They say the new laws expose officers to
greater danger and prevent them from doing their jobs effectively."
