[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1066188, member: 684"] I think this part of the statute gets confusing for everybody... [B]3. Weapons in the possession of any peace officer or other person authorized by law to possess a weapon in the performance of their duties and responsibilities.[/B] Let me [I]try[/I] to explain it a little better. As an emergency management official (LE/EMS/Fire) we are what we are and we are that 24/7. We don't get to leave our work at work. If a medic/EMT is in Wal-Mart on their day off and they see a kid choking, they go into action. Same thing with a firefighter. They see a house engulfed in flames, they go into action. LEOs carry their weapon...their "tool of the trade" if you will with them [B][U]EVERYWHERE[/U][/B] they go (or at least they should) because crime has no limits and no boundaries. Crime happens when and where it happens and the cops just have to live with that. Therefore, we can not say to ourselves, "well, this is a church/school/school bus, it's safe and protected from the bad guys, so I won't need my gun today." ********. :disappoin That's where the "performance and responsibilties" part of that statute comes into play. Cops are [B][U]ALWAYS[/U][/B] 10-8. We don't get to throw our hands up and say "SANCTUARY! I'M ON DAYS OFF!" No...we gotta handle the situation as it arises. As a cop, we take an oath and we are required by law to be there and tend to the situation at hand. Having the proper tools with us for that moment that we are required to go into action is a necessity. Whether we are in our little blue suit or not, crime has to be stopped. Because let me tell ya...you can forget all day long that you're a cop, but the one time when the **** hits the fan, and you are in your hometown, where folks know you, [B][I][SIZE="4"]they[/SIZE][/I][/B] ain't gonna forget you're a cop. :tounge2: Then whatcha gonna do? I've actually went on school functions with school teachers/sponsors on a bus traveling out of state and the teacher/sponsor would whisper to me, "uhhh...you have your gun with you...right?" ;) [/QUOTE]
