I shoot center mass. Maybe pictures of LTC holders from the neck to the waist, would be more beneficial!! :smilelol5:

I wouldn't object to providing the information and my photograph. I really like the idea of not getting shot by a LEO. However, I too don't think it is likely to work because responding officers aren't going to have the time to look at and memorize photos. I would be happy that the Chief wants to help with training and taking steps to prevent an innocent person not being shot due to mistaken identity.

:iagree:

If officers are dispatched to an active shooter call, at a church, or any where else, they will not have time to stop and pick up a stack of photos. While I would have no issue with my local police chief knowing I had an LTC, and if he was providing training, he would probably know that anyway, having a photo of me or others who carry, would not prevent an officer in a stressful situation from mistakenly shooting a good guy, with a gun. That's why, if the bad guy has been incapacitated, or restrained,the good guys, should re holster. Standing over a bad guy with a gun pointed at him, is a very difficult situation to assess, for officers, who are first on the scene.
