Gun Free zones and off duty cops carrying?

[SmokeTheClay]

Hi

Are off duty police officers allowed to carry in CA mandates gun free zones? I heard there were 6 off duty officers at the Thousand Oaks shooting but none had their weapon.

Guns and alcohol don't mix.

Designated sheepdog/driver - OK!

Who has a designated driver anymore now that Uber is a thing? Bartenders can be armed (even without a CCW permit) if the owner of the bar is okay with it and as long as they don't drink on the job.

Ask that FBI agent that was break dancing in Colorado.

1) He couldn't control his alcohol. He was a jackass
2) He was "break dancing." 'nuff said.

Next?

The two have never hurt me. Handle your alcohol consumption responsibly and the defensive firearm in the waistband shouldn’t be a problem for most.

I agree, it’s a decision that must be made by the individual. It also takes discipline to consume responsibly, many simply can’t or don’t want too. By all means they should leave the weapon at home. Myself I know that at the end of the night I will be driving home sober and my firearm will go with me.

The point I'm trying to make is why put your self in a situation where you have been drinking and then find yourself having to use deadly force, and you accidentally shoot someone innocent during the course of that use if force. Do you think your alcohol use may come into question? You may be able to handle your liquor just fine Im just giving some food for thought..

retired police (local and feds) can carry in school zones if they have a permit issued per PC 25650 (see PC 626.9 o 2). The latest LEOSA amendment (pending) would allow active and retired LEOs to carry on private property (that is open to the public). I don't know about state law that allows current active (off duty) LEOs to carry in GFZs.

OP didn’t ask about retired LEOs. OP asked about off duty LEOs which is addressed in PC 626.9(l).

The answer would be, yes, LEOs can carry in gun free zones.

You still dodged everyone else’s queries in the other thread, BTW. Just a reminder.

When did bar's become GFZ's? Not that I go to bar's anymore at my age. Drinks are cheaper at home and I can watch whatever game I want and be able to hear it.

626.9 looks like it refers to school zones not drinking establishments
