Why do you think a retired cop would be exempt from a "no guns" posting in general?
Because iirc retired police officers still have a badge and limited police powers so why would they have to comply with a "no guns" posting geared toward the general public. An off duty police officer in the theater is the one who detained the shooter and I'm guessing he had his firearm.
I don't believe that is correct (could be wrong though) My BIL is a retired LEO and he does not have a badge. He does have to qualify on the range once a year to be able to carry though.
