You have my complete respect. Better to have it and not need it. You know the rest...I carry off duty.
My brother in law would have gotten fired if he even left it in his car. Let alone walk into the front door. I'm not sure what other repercussions there would be. But it is a no questions asked termination with firearms at his prisonI see two sides to this.
1 they should have already been provided a gun locker for their private weapon. I have worked in a "county jail" for over 20 years, and have never heard of Federal officers not having a gun locker provided to them.
2 They want to allow officers to carry their own guns on duty. I see several problems with that.
If they allow this how long will it be before you are required to provide your own weapon?
If there is a problem and I have run out of ammo or magazines, Who will I borrow from?
How long will it be before some newbie shows up for his shift with a HighPoint?
Currently if there is a problem and a gun is fired that gun is taken in as evidence. it might remain as evidence for years while it winds it's way through the courts. If the officer remains on duty, he checks out another gun from the armoury. What happens if it's a private gun?
Will the dept reimburse you for a replacement?
I just see this as needing some more thought! DR
