I was just speaking with a federal officer about his issued sidearm (I prefer not to name his agency), and asked him what sort of back-up gun he prefers to carry. He stated that he would get fired if he carried a BUG! I didn't ask if he, or any of his fellow officers carried one, despite this rule, but was flabbergasted that federal officers (at least those in his agency), who are required (for good reason) to be armed, are simultaneoulsly barred from protecting themselves in the event of a mechanical problem with their primary firearm, or if it is taken from them, etc. Any comments on this? Thanks.
