But, hey, I'm all for everyone carrying that legally can. IMO, the quickest way to that would be to say that NO ON can, even off duty full time LEO.

I'm afraid you've fallen into the same logical fallacy that Mr. Guillory has.
Mr. Guillory reasonably believes that many counties only issue CCWs to people with connections. He says that if the court can force those counties to treat everyone fairly, their CLEOs will have no choice - the HAVE to keep issuing to their special friends, so they'll be forced to issue to everyone fairly.
But there's no evidence that they HAVE to keep issuing to their special friends. SF doesn't, and they don't fall into a mystical hole of impossibility.
If a jurisdiction chose to not allow full time LEO's to CCW off duty, they might lose some officers. The crime rate would probably tick up. There would be some unfortunate incidents with OD officers meeting miscreants - but the world wouldn't end. And it wouldn't bring widely issued permits. It would just make it a worse world to live in.
