Traveling to Calif....San Diego Area then to San Francisco with the family. Currently a Deputy Sheriff from another state. Will there be a problem with loaded hadgun in car etc?
+1If you are a "qualified law enforcement officer" under Title 18 USC § 926 (aka. HR 218/LEOSA 2004) you should be fine
Why is it a question for his supervisors? Does the Federal law require that a supervisor specifically authorize a sworn LEO to carry when on vacation? I thought it automatically applied to all LEOs who are authorized to carry in the line of duty (and to retirees meeting certain requirements, but that's not pertinent to this question).Respectfully, this isn't the forum to ask IMHO. This is a question for your supervisors as you're carrying under your department's authority.
Don't bring any hi-cap magazines. CA law does not exempt LEO in bringing hi-cap magazines into the state for any reason.
I hope so.
There is absolutely No reason for an out of jurisdiction LEO to be treated any different than an other citizen.
And the above is symptomatic of what is wrong with this country
My brother in a NY LEO, his agency has told him no HP in NJ.we still don't know for sure how NJ is interpreting their no HP ammo for anyone but on-duty officers
if it is a good shoot then he would be fine, CA law is funny that way, I think it is called an affirmative defense (IANAL though) even us civvies are supposed to be ok, there was a test case oooooh maybe ten years ago??It could be an issue if you actually shoot anybody
That is not correct info.Yes, there will be a problem.
A couple of simple points of CA law.
CA recognizes NO other CCW.
You do not have a CA CCW. (Issued by local jurisdictions)
CA has not figured out how to implement HR 218
I take this to mean you will not be allowed to carry, though you might get away with it; and you might be able to talk your way out of a felony.
The OP had a question about what he needed. This wasn't a thread about the merits of the law but what he, as a LEO, need to carry when he traveled out of state.The "US vs. Them" attitude
I mean we bash new laws all the time on this forum and that is ok, now we bash another law and suddenly we are cop haters? Come on now, which is it? Either you support gun control or you dont?
...the Law Enforcement Community see themselves as being above the ordinary citizen.
