Hello

long time permit carrying person...carry concealed quite often. Always complied with the laws applicable etc.

Just got a job with our local P.D. as a part-time officer...badge Uniform, Gun the whole deal.

Question...being a badge carrying L.E.O. can I carry off duty within other states even without a permit for that state? I have been told by a few that the Partiot Act has provisions that allow off duty officers to carry within any state without permits etc.

Is this true? where would I get info on this fact.

If it is true....does it apply in NYC, D.C. MA and CA....places notorious for restrictions on firearm possession.

thanks for any help guidance etc.

Lou
