Remember over the limit under arrest and click it or ticket and see something say something.

Traveled with an LEO last year. WDW is a no carry zone. It doesn't matter who you are, no weapons allowed nito any park. An LEO is allwed to have it in the room. They ask that it be locked in the safe when you are nto in the room. I am with other who say there is NO reason to need to carry off duty. Period.

While I believe most people will agree with you regarding carrying in the park, it is a totally different story outside of the parks. Many will carry because the HAVE to if they want to keep their jobs, and in general, it's just a matter of choice and personal opinion.

I do not know rules but unless person HAVE TO BY LAW, I would be unconfortable to see someone carrying a gun on my vacation. I wonder if such a person required to carry a gun on his vacation when he is clearly off duty. If he is not required but simply has a right to do so, and chooses to carry a gun to food court area in resort, then sorry, I believe something is wrong with his judgement.

I think the point is more that they would be concealed and weither or not Disney prohibits LEO's to even have them on property. Say if you happened to see it report it to a Disney CM I'm sure that they would have LEO's photos and on the circut tv's they would be able to see that it was someone who reported that they would have one on them vs. a random untrained no reason to have it on me kinda person.

Here in CT.your not allowed to carry.end of that story.

Actually, you can legally carry a concealed weapon with the correct permits and background checks in Connecticut.

My ex is a cop in Southern Florida. Yes, he did bring his weapon to WDW with us for every trip, and yes, he kept it locked in the room once we got there. There are many reasons why any officer would carry while not on duty...I don't know the nuts he dealt with while he was at work, and I'd prefer to have some sort of protection against these people while we were making the drive...you never know what you are going to encounter.

Prior to becoming a police officer, he did have a concealed weapons permit, and it requires that the firearm be completely concealed. Not even the silhouette of the weapon could be visible...you also must respect owners of private property request also not to carry.

Now...I don't and have never carried a gun on my person, I wouldn't want to. I don't think that WDW is a place I'd like to see a bunch of people packing and am happy it's a no-carry zone. While I don't always agree with the ease of obtaining some of these permits, it is people's protected right under law and I will respect it.

once again...not by law but by dept POLICY in my dh dept they HAVE to carry off duty,even on vacation.The policy IS enforced.If someone who works for them wants to keep their job they follow the policies in their dept., it comes along with the job.

And I have no problem with his policy which is infact a LAW for him in his case, he has no choice. I am talking about those who have a right but also a choice. Wonder if he still must to carry gun to places where it is forbitten like parks and if he brakes policy when he doesn't.

My husband is a LEO. Does he take his weapon to Disney? No.

But..... for those that are saying that a LEO should never carry off duty
Have you ever ran into someone you arrested? or someone that threaded your family? My husband does not carry off duty b/c of his ego, he carries it for our safety.

Wonder if he is off duty and has a gun for his protection, does it make him a civilian who has right to carry gun and if he has any right to use his gun unless someone attacks him ? Not trying to besmart here, just wondering.

A LEO is a LEO all of the time. They are never "off" duty. If they see something happening and don't react they would be in trouble. That is why federal law has passed that lets LEO's carry guns in ANY state.
And if he is not on duty even when he is off, would someone please tell the other offices to stop calling during family time to ask questions.

My husband is a draftsman and his office calls CONSTANTLY saking questions. Doies that mean he should carry his computer at all times???? I don't think that is a vaild argument for carrying a gun at all times. I just don't get how that is necessary. We have several LEO's in the family and NONE carry off duty. It is too much of a liability, and none of them feel threatened by the idea of meeting someone they have arrested. When they are off duty they are off duty. They would respond in an emergency, just like I would hope ANY civilian would, but they don't go looking for trouble. They have the same need to carry off duty that any law abiding civilian does, IMO none.

Couldn't he choose another carrer? Kidding, my father has a city job, they call him all the time, weekends and even on vacation, like he can do something from there. Such jobs have 24/7 access. Once he got his phone, he is on a hook.

Edit: What is wrong with site today, looks like I am responding to my own message.

Let me begin by saying that my husband is in probation. Does he always carry he gun? no. We tend to go to a different city than the one he works in when we go out. But sometimes we do go out in the county he works in. There have been many times that he has gotten out of the car when he saw someone who doing something that violated their probation. He spoke with them and told them to report the next day. We are not dealing with people who necessarily respect that he is a LEO. There have been many that he has sent back to jail, put on house arrest, etc. In no way is his carrying a gun a liability, he is certified and knows what he is doing. He does not go looking for trouble. But his needs are totally different than any civilian. Again, until you have had your family and life threaded you really can't understand.
At the same time I don't understand why you would not want a police officer carrying his gun at all times. Police are stretched thin and I personally am happy for any police officer to carry his gun as added protection against what ever may happen. Even for little things like a pocket book being stolen outside a mall.

I must disagree on this one. Officers reaction should be appropriet, small thing like stolen pocket book or snatched bag does not require using a gun, no way. We have way too many cases when people were killed by officers for no good reason. I believe that gun does not make officer a professional. Every officer should be able to handle situation where nobody using gun nor knife without using his weapon. I love to live in a safe society but I do not like idea to live in jail.

Hmmmm. 7 pages and all the OP wanted to know was how to get a job at WDW.
Rule #357.0 of the Disboards - Where there is no controversy, we shall create one.

 

[5fromsc]

I did not say that they needed to use a gun, just having it makes people respond differently.

My point is this.. It is not the good guys we need to worry about. It is those who don't have the training or the certification to carry one. Yet those are the people who do often carry them. Why get worked up over a police officer carrying a gun when the gang member on the seat beside you on the subway has one.


And this will be my last comment.

This is what I previously refered to as a trained professional. In our scarry situation in McD's I would have loved to have had someone like your husband in there protecting the civilians. I would think that any officer would appreciate the back up of another officer who is off duty and just happens to be there. If they are not able to protect themselves and their families when they happen upon a dangerous situation or on that might escalate into one how can we expect them to put their lives at risk.

I thank you for your husbands service in the police services as well as your families support of his service to protect us all.

Thank you, 5fromsc, for making a very good point.

Many people are unaware about the number of bad guys that are carrying guns.
