A buddy of mine, 20 years old, just got hired onto the SO as a Corrections Officer. Our agency does allow us to carry off-duty w/o a CCW, but he is having issues with purchasing a sidearm. Is he pretty much SOL as far as buying a handgun until he is 21? And if he is able to find a legal means to purchase one, are there going to be issues with him carrying off-duty?

Im a 20 year old in the FHPA, and the SO everywhere in the state is the same way. IF you are given a gun as a gift by ANYONE over 21, its legal.
What part of florida you in? Im in Tampa bay."I once killed a man in Reno, just to watch him die..."

I think the law just pertains to purchase from a dealer,
any sworn officer can carry ccf/ ccw from age 19
as long they meet the training requirements for sec 943
which will be on the bottom of yer certificate....and can carry
as a private citizen with yr badge and i.d. card w/o the actual ccw/cccf
permit, your aggeny will inform you of what you can and cannot do
in regards to yr sworn position.

I went to school with this guy who was all of 18, and a Conservation Officer in the county he lived in(sworn LEO). His mother had to buy his gun for him. He got as much of a chuckle out of that as did the rest of us; old enough to be a cop, but not old enough to buy his own gun.Never make a drummer mad- we beat things for a living!
