But how can they do so and not be discriminatory if the ban applies to CCW holders but not to policemen both of whom are equally licensed by the state to carry weapons?

Take a look at the 12XXX series of laws in California. Those laws restrict access of ordinary citizens to all manner of arms while explicitly exempting law enforcement officers from the same restrictions. It is a blatant violation of the equal protection clause in the Bill of Rights. Yet another reason this ex-Californian is a resident of Idaho.

So what are the CCW laws in Idaho like? Can you essentially bring a gun anywhere a policman would?

It's the same situation where an AR-15 is a "firehose of death" whose only purpose is the mass killing of humans when owned by a civilian, but morphs into a much-needed tool to face criminals with when possessed by a policeman.
