Next in the news several muslims sneak AK’s into game and blow away a bunch of people. Where were the cops?????????
...and when the law says the NFL can NOT do this?
the NFL lost credibility and gravitas years ago. Perhaps they should just be draped in pink and leave it as a wuss league.
More soft targets. One who is conspiracy minded may think this is done on purpose. “Out of chaos comes order.”
So the NFL is allowed to override state laws?
Interesting
I have a family member who is in Law Enforcement. He is REQUIRED to carry his weapon 24/7
Looks to me like a group of citizens may end up owning a football league before too long based upon the way things are going.
Good. If we have to go unarmed, so should they.
Will this also apply to federal LEO’s?
I’m pretty sure their policy is against the law in a number of stadiums.
Other people might run into revenge seeking individuals too. So if other legal carriers can not carry in NFL stadia, I am not sure why there should be a public employee exception. I guess one could make a better trained argument, but then that might well argue for off-duty cops, ex-cops, off-duty military and all veterans.
Still you are right that this creates a large gun free area that criminals might well exploit.
I suggest the police associations send a legal letter to the NFL that they expect full security to be provided by the NFL for officers complying with NFL and to set aside a billion dollar trust for lawsuits where they don’t meet their obligation.
Should be sent to any organization demanding gun free zones.
Brilliant, that.
NFL official statement, “We are nowe WIDE OPEN for criminal acts of barbarity! All psychos welcome!”
“Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry” -Thomas Jefferson
I’m all for the 2nd amendment and CC but the typical JBT would disarm you without thinking twice about it. Nice to see them get treated like the hoi poloi.
Apparently, the NFL is run by morons.
“in case they come face to face with a criminal whom they had arrested and who may have revenge”
Utter BS, we carried because technically we are obligated to intervene in the case of a violent felony commission or robbery. This is the kind of drivel besides LEO’s that cross the line on police to oppressor/criminal that feeds the us versus them mentality.
“...off-duty police officers ... are not allowed to carry THEIR guns...”
LEO`s, just swap guns with your partner.
Duhhhhhhhhh
