ok, help me settle an argument -

Off duty carry on school property, legal? or not?

any difference if off duty LEO is also employed by the school?

Legal.

Although if its a private school its private property and they can ask you to leave. But they shouldn't know you're armed either...

nobody ever knows if/when i'm armed. it was just a debate between myself and an officer with our agency who's also a teacher.

i didn't believe there was any criminal violation. i've always packed when i pick up my kid from school. the way i see it, that's when it's really important to - so many defenseless innocents, somebody's gotta be on guard.

Off duty carry in or at schools by LEO's is legal in Indiana. Even if it wasn't, they wouldn't get any grief from me.

In Florida it's legal as long as you are acting within the "scope of the law" and would use the firearm in the same manner you would as if you were on duty. I have a duty to act if another person is placed in danger. I am not going to go hands on with a suspect that is armed. So I carry off duty. Every where. And you won't know I am carrying. Even my soon yo be wife, going on three years now, doesn't even know when I am carrying a gun, and she hangs all over me. I am that good. The only person better than me at concealing a weapon is Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris doesn't carry a gun, he IS a weapon...

Are you still working for DoD? And if so, what's your carry authority?

that reminds me, my last wife didn't know i was carrying. she got mad at something i said and punched me in the stomach. well, actually it wasn't the stomach, it was the APPENDIX which is where i carry. all i heard was a loud "CRACK" and then her holding her hand going, "OWWW! you and that stupid gun" she didn't think it was funny when i acted concerned about damages to my weapon and functioned checked it to make sure she didn't break anything LOL

btw - not DV, she was just playfully violent (most of the time), she knew how much training i was involved in and that (without a bat) she couldn't actually hurt me.

Even though DoD cops and MP's aren't covered by HR218/LEOSA, they are still fellow LEO's.

It's all good.

On a good note that coincides with that, I stopped an Air Force Cop this morning. 50 mph in a 35 MPH (Construction zone). Lucky for him I recognized him after about a minute of talking, threw his paper work back at him, said "Get the F*** out of here" and left. 10-8, no action taken.

Probably one of the few times fellows Officer's don't mind getting cussed out by other officer. (And by cussing out I me just the f-bomb I accidentally dropped)
