This cannot be true!

I expect when this hits the courts the off duty LE part of it will be thrown out. Many departments require their officers to carry off duty. To require the officer to change from 17 round mags to 10 round mags when he goes off duty will probably be seen as unreasonable. Hell, a tired cop driving home from work can wind up a felon if he forgot to change his mags out.

I feel strongly that LEOs should have the best equipment that they can carry. They aren't the folks who dream up restrictive laws, it's the socialist/progressive politicians. I want LEOs to be able to defend themselves, even if the rest of us can't.
Now, that being said, I think the folks who make and enforce policy at the LD should face the same restrictions we mere mortals do.
And I mostly agree with your posts, but LE will sure as eff would enforce these laws on us peons.
You're right, of course. I didn't expect my post would be popular, but I stand by it. LEOs are in what I consider to be a much higher risk category than most of us, and they are expected to intercede in crimes they witness, even if they're off duty.
I agree that we ALL should have the ability to choose what we carry and how we protect ourselves. But until the SC rules that to be the case, we live in a world of double standards. Just because I am denied the right to carry for self defense by my state government, I don't hold it against the LEOs who might one day come to my aid, and who definitely come to the aid of others every day.
Just like the idiotic NJ hollowpoint ban, this is also ripe for a challenge under LEOSA.

I keep saying, when Joe Six Pack loses his rights, the next to go are LEOs privilege to carry while off duty. It's already been proposed.
So - would this also apply to off duty Federal agents in NJ?
