CA Off-duty Carry

[Ron-Solo]

The local anti-gun DA busted a vacationing Utah state trooper who packed his pistol in Sacramento county a few years ago. He was staying at motel and used it to prevent a crime if I remember right.

This legislation probably wasn't in effect then. It is fairly new.

If Kommiefornia doesn't accept CCW permits from other states; then the deserve the same kind of treatment in return...

Since Californian's can possess a loaded firearm in their motel rooms and use it when making an arrest I'm guessing that he didn't perhaps exactly use it lawfully. Can't brandish unless in self defense etc.. otherwise it should remain holstered during the arrest.

If there was a crime of violence then I would even expect a non leo Californian to be exempt from 12031 / 417. If you can find the news paper link I'd love to read the details.

LEOSA passed in 2004.

He was a LEO and not just some hot headed tourist packing his handgun. In that case, you'd think that he'd have an idea about how and when to use a firearm. Kommiefornia's anti-gun DAs just don't wanna recognize out of state CCW permits...
