How many think that it is OK for the government’s law enforcement have gun rights, but its firefighters don’t, just like the rest of us:
A judge has ordered that concealed weapons charges be dropped against four off-duty Washington police officers who were charged in a shooting at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
The judge says Seattle police officers Dennis McCoy and Ron Smith and Customs and Border Protection agents Scott Lazalde of Bellingham and James Rector of Ferndale are exempt from prosecution under South Dakota state law because of the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act.
However, a concealed weapons charge against fellow biker Erik Pingel of Aurora, Colo., can proceed. Pingel is a firefighter.
Curious, When law enforment officers come into another state with their weapons don't they have to let the state or local police office know they are in town and that they have their guns????
I have not checked the statue.
