Rules have changed since I retired

[5150ds]

Parole Agents are armed but not considered full time LEO. Unlike Police Officers or Deputies, we were not required to respond to a crime while off duty. It was our choice whether or not to get involved or just be a good witness. And we were not required to carry our firearm while off duty, that too was our choice. I don't believe it is a choice for a Police Officer or Deputy.

However when I was a Correctional Officer I was able to buy off roster hand guns, with high capacity magazines, and I was exempt from the 1 in 30 law. So as far as I know I was considered a Peace Officer.

Carrying off duty for a full time sworn officer is department to department. Some require, some encourage and some dont care either way. As for getting involved off-duty. It is generslly discouraged, but left up to the individual. Usaully only get involved to save a life, otherwise be a good witness.

Have them check with personnel or their In Service Training office for the information and paperwork. I know they can order more then one also, so if they want a copy of their duty gun and a conceal carry gun. They can get a 22 and a 23/27. But like anything with the state it will take awhile, so if they need a off duty sooner then later look elsewhere.

The web page has had that deadline posted for a while. Not sure if you can still get the deal. I had emailed previously to the crime victims group asking if they would do the same with Gen 3's for non-leo's at a later date and they said yes.

Just a side note- In an effort to make very clear communications on a very complicated topic, we will use "hi capacity" when referring to mags that hold over 10 rounds. Let's not okay word game in a highly charged legal arena. Myself and others find it much easier to just say exactly what your mean so there is no confusion.

I agree completely with that statement and that is exactly the context I was using in my previous posts. Without wanting to offend anyone of course.

I am not in law enforcement. I don't want to make life more difficult for law enforcement. I am smart enough to know you guys and gals are often the only thing between "the good" and "the bad".

However, I made my previous post due to the fact I personally feel the "hi capacity" term is a media / political inspired witch hunt if you will.

As gun owners and enthusiasts I think it would be more prudent to say "standard capacity" and oh I don't know, "california capacity"...? "Restricted capacity"? "Legislated capacity"?

I wasn't offended sir and I hope I didn't offend you as I meant no disrespect.

Collectively I don't think we should fall into the infringement traps laid out for us was the purpose of the post. Nothing more.
