P.S. ASO/APO are firearms qualified by the State and federal government; they just don’t carry.
“they just don’t carry.”
Let me clear up your confusion.
They CAN’T carry.
“They cannot carry weapons but must be state-certified police officers. Airport police have sought for years to be allowed to carry firearms, but the city has opposed that. Aviation Committee Chairman Ald. Michael Zalewski, 23rd, said the latest incident weakens the push by aviation police to carry guns.”
