[QUOTE="over9five, post: 844875, member: 1401"] Devils Advocate. Many, MANY times off duty cops stop crimes by displaying/using their department issued pistols. Now who gets the blame if an off duty cop [I]could have[/I] prevented a rape/murder/robbery if only he was allowed to carry that gun off duty? I fully understand and agree that there is a city liability issue, but IMO, the lives saved by allowing LEOs to have their department issued pistols off-duty far outweigh the occasional nutcase. Also, if that off-duty cop were carrying their [I]own[/I] gun, would he be disinclined to use it to prevent a crime knowing that any mistake (miss, richochet, etc) that may injure a bystander will not be backed up by the city lawyers?
