Border Patrol Agent Open Carry ?

[45 Shootist]

My daughter is going through a divorce with a B.P. Agent. He from time to time open carries his service weapon with his badge on his belt in civilian cloths to intimidate her or others
. Can anyone tell me if there is B.P. Policy that states that off duty carry must have the weapon covered. This is in California...Thanks.

If you want to complain about it you can just call his station and ask for the Supervisory Agent. Then you can ask that person the question.

They are not able to tell me much. Either they are not sure of policy or they don't want to answer. I'm a retired California LEO, now living in the free state of Idaho. Not being anywhere near a California BP station (or any BP station, I can't just go in and press for an answer like I would like to do). I feel for those of you stuck in Kali. So nice to be able to drive down the road, 40 round mag in an AR-15, one in the chamber, sitting in the front seat without even having to have a CCW or hunting license.

Border Patrol Agents are LEOs and covered by LEOSA.

If he’s actually said or done something threatening beyond legally carrying his weapon, your daughter should seek a restraining order against him.

For many years Border Patrol Agents were not recognized as LEO in the state of California. My buddies with CHP couldn’t believe it. That was in the 2000s.

Now it appears they finally are recognized. It’s about damn time.

Your buddies must have ignored some training in the penal code.

Border Patrol Agents fit under PC 830.8(b).
A lot of Federal Law Enforcement fits under that section of the Penal Code.

This has very little to do with him and his law enforcement powers and everything to do with your daughter speaking to her divorce attorney about it. This is why lawyers exist.

LEOSA allows concealed carry; it doesn't cover open carry.

Border Patrol also carries under 8 USC 1357 and 19 USC 1589. This has nothing to do with LEOSA and has been around long before LEOSA. There are no places off limits under these sections, just a couple of obscure locations under federal law.

The Chief Patrol Agent can restrict open carry under policy (must be covered).

Example: Going out in public not in RDU, must be covered. (Suit or plain clothes).

Different sectors, different rules. It's adminstrative.

If he is part of a unit where a polo is the uniform of the day (prosecutions, PIO, IG, etc) then generally it's open carry with badge and 5.11 pants.

Open carry while off duty with his badge exposed?? Sounds like a real winner.

I’ll bet he’s one of those “adults” that is on Facebook every single day posting pictures of stupid krap and telling the world how wonderful he is. All just to see how many “likes” (or whatever they’re called on Facebook) he gets every day.

Sadly, a few of my “adult” coworkers are just as moronic and do the same thing. Very juvenile.
