Hi all, I am sure this has been a topic that many of you have had to face. I am looking for guidance...
I have several members who are conceal carry permit holders and want to carry while on duty. Personally, I am struggling with this because while I support everyone's undeniable right to bear arms, I also have several concerns that this may pose a safety hazard. The department chief wants me to establish a policy that there are to be no firearms on a scene.
My quest for help is in two parts:
1) Can a policy easily be established by stating that "XYZ Department recognizes each individual's constitutional right to bare arms.Under no circumstance is there to be a firearm on a responders person during emergency responses. If a firearm is seen that person will immediately be directed to leave the scene and secure the firearm." (or some variation of this)
2) what are the DOH/PESH/OSHA regulations for conceal carry. I am having trouble finding those.
I appreciate the help in advance!
