I have to admit I haven’t been following this issue very closely. However, as I understand, the bogus concern is that off duty LEO’s are at risk of being shot by mistake if/when they intervene to stop a crime. Even accepting this premise, which I do not, then there is no reason to prohibit off duty carrying. Just do away with the “always on duty� doctrine. Then LEO’s can carry off duty for self-defense, but not by obliged to intervene to stop a crime, thus removing the risk of being shot by mistake by an on-duty LEO.

Make no mistake about it; if LEO’s are disarmed while off-duty, then CHL statutes will be targeted shortly thereafter! I can hear the argument now, “If COPS can’t carry off-duty because it’s too dangerous, then mere citizens certainly shouldn’t carry guns.�
