Just got my PBA newsletter today and found a passage on HR 218. Apparently, the AG's office has decided that it is not prudent to allow off duty NJ officers to carry their duty weapon out of state , and that OFF DUTY FULL TIME COPS FROM OTHER STATES WILL BE TREATED AS CIVILIANS.
If an out of stater asks about HR 218 in NJ, he should be told he is "an ordinary citizen while visiting the state and possess no police powers." If he happens upon an incident that requires police intervention, he should "call the appropriate state, county, or municipal police department to respond."
This is a crock of S---. I'm embarrassed by it.
