Do you have a citation or real-life experience regarding that assertion? My understanding is that all law enforcement officers that go on to carry a firearm undergo a comprehensive psychological evaluation prior to or around when they enter the academy. This information may be unique to Oregon, but as an attorney I have worked with tons of law enforcement officers and they have all undergone psych evals... I know numerous social workers that have gone through the application process but been passed over because of their psych evals. Or so we assume - they are otherwise solid candidates.
