Question about off duty CCW

[SansSouci]

Wrong, just plain wrong.

If the full-time officer is employed by a California agency, then the officer is governed by Penal Code. Nearly all sworn officers are able to carry anywhere in the state.

A California officer carrying outside of California is governed by LEOSA. LEOSA does not permit unlimited carry. There are a number of restrictions on the location that a weapon may be carried, and there are additional limitations concerning the form of identification that must be carried. Additionally, the officer must be authorized to carry a firearm on duty. Not all California peace officers are so authorized.

Section 12025 does not apply to, or affect, any of the following:

(a)(1)(A)Any peace officer, listed in Section 830.1 or 830.2

BTW, I very, very rarely carry a gun. But I am reconsidering that decision. If Black Panthers are going to start killing cops, then I will carry. I am not about to allow a Black Panther to kill a cop if I can prevent it.

There are at least 500,000 federal, state, and local cops in America. Add to that number retired cops. I don't think Black Panthers are going to win that one.
