Permit requirements in most states are stricter than the requirements that LEOs have. (for firearms anyway)

Sounds about right but think about it this way. Most states only require LEOs to show that they can hit a man sized target at something like 21 feet every year.Perhaps I'm reading this information wrong, but it seems that after you get the permit in Michigan, you can carry a pistol around without taking the time to practice with it until you want to renew your permit.
That is interesting, seeing as my carry weapon is a Glock 23C in 40S&W. Anyway a good tactical flashlight on strobe setting would have temporarily blinded the bad guy allowing time for an accurate shot or two. Got that revelation this morning when I turned mine on while facing a mirror.My wife's good friend's nephew was shot in Iraq in the chest with body armor on (and the leg... no armor) with an AK47 from about 500 yards away, it broke 3 ribs, collapsed a lung and put him on the ground unable to breathe. I think a 40 S&W would do the same. There are also rounds available that are designed not to pass through.
If I am reading the information about permits and renewal within Michigan correctly, a squeaky clean record all around is required, permits are valid for 4-5 years, and required for renewal is a review of the course on safety and use, and one hour of range time within 6 months, (obtaining a permit only cites a safety course requirement).
hmmmm, let me see if I understand this... extremely dark theatre, movie sound booming as pictures flash on screen, gunman walks in and begins shooting, --- now all the concealed carry people are supposed to start shooting back, people are running around in the dark screaming and trying to escape in the middle of the fire fight, police arrive and don't know who is shooting whom... And this is supposed to save lives? I'm not seeing it.

Boggles the mind...According to everything I have read on the internet, 86% of our population would have easily stopped the attack and sat down to finish watching the movie.
