However, taking a swing at an off-duty cop will get you arrested, convicted, and jailed (if not shot) for Assaulting an Officer: compare the penalties for Assaulting an Officer and Simple Assault sometime. If he shoots you, it will be ruled a "clean shoot" and he will go home. Ask the folks on the Danziger Bridge in NOLA. Taking a swing at someone with a CCW will probably result in him taking a swing at you, and you being arrested for Assault. If he shoots you, he'll go to jail for murder (as he should). That's the difference.
