Police ofc. conceal carry laws

Stylishxone767 · January 2006

I am curious about police officers being able to carry off duty during interstate travel (no not on airplanes). I heard that Bush passed a federal law allowing for police officers to carry off duty in any state in the union. Are the states honoring this new law? What was the law prior to this? I am a police officer in Michigan, and I am about to take a trip to Chicago. What the position of the state of Illinois on this issue and what are their laws? Does anyone know?

Federal law supercedes all state law huh, I thought there was A thing about ratfying. I may be mistaken in this case. BTW the GB post is not A waste of time in my opinion.quote:Originally posted by dano

Go to the following:

Since HR 218 is a Federal Law, it supercedes all state laws, BUT....there are some "clarifications" that you need to be aware of.

Since you stated that you are a police officer, your dept. / agency should be able to give you some info.

Since you are travelling to Chicago, Stylish, I thought Defender's comments in the above post may provide some insight. Apparently he has been monitoring the Chicago PD closely.
