    LEO carring gun on ride-a-long with other agency.

    I just wanted some input because I obtained some info from a local officer that said he can carry his sidearm with him when he rides with a buddy in another state on a ride-a-long.

    1) Is this true, are you allowed to carry when just ridign with a officer at another department out of state?

    2) Would your Sheriff, Chief, or Commander allow this to happen?


    Just checking y'all.

    it all depends on the policies of the agency. i would imagine out of state would be a no. in state maybe. feds might be different due to jurisdictional issues. sergeants get paid the big bucks to make those decisions.

    well......isn't it legal for an officer to carry in all 50 states? I know there would be no jurisdiction but I would think for defense purposes it would be ok?

    true, but would you be acting as a citizen or as an officer. I doubt most depts would back up their officer if they got into a shooting in another state. Different laws etc. The dept letting them ride would have to assume liability for the rider and for any actions that he may take.

    I have done a couple ride alongs in the past and had no issues carrying. However, as a fed criminal investator, we get availability pay and we are never really "off duty". It was never even addressed by the guys I rode with.

    My department has a policy against it, but I am not going to pat search a fellow leo to see if they are carrying or not.

    If I was going to do a ride along with another PD, I would NOT carry. I would ask how to disengage the shotgun from the rack in an emergency though. I would not permit another LEO riding with me to carry though , dept. regs.

    I have done a lot of ride-alongs in state with friends that work for other agecenies and never have had a problem. Actually no one brings it up.
    If someone that is LE rides with me and is carrying, I have no problem with it. We don't actually have a dept. policy on it.
    I would say it would be based on a dept. policy or what a supervisor tells you to do....

    For you guys that say no, what about feds on LEAP? Meaning we are always on duty. Also, USMS can work state cases without UFAPing them, so there is never a jurisdicitional issue... add to that fact that in most states we are PEace Officers, too.
    Does that change anything?

    Hell, I don't go to the grocery store without a gun, you'd be hitting the booze too hard to think that I would do a ride-along without one. :D

    Hey! I am not looking for preference... I am asking a legitimate question. What reason could there be for me not to carry on a ride-along? In all truthfullness, I don't think the ones I did were regarded as ride-alongs. On all 3 occasions, the guys I rode with said to wear a raid shirt, a shirt well marked on the front, back and sleeves (for the long sleeved shirt),

    The best reason I can give all centers on dept liability. If my rider was a leo, hell yes i want them to be carrying. If the **** hits the fan and you end up in that shooting you didn't plan on, what will your dept say? Most every agency has a policy for riders and it is there to cover their ***.

    I guess if a Fed said they were on duty , it wouldn't be a problem.

    This is exactly how I feel. Barring a department policy forbidding it, I don't see why any LEO would have a problem with another LEO carrying during a ride-a-long (in or out of state). In fact, since what DC posted is true about 95% of the time, I also allow civilians who hold a CCW permit to carry while they are riding. In my opinion, if the sh** hits the fan, the more good guys with guns the better. As for liability, I can't see where anything changes simply because the guy/gal is riding with me. The law that gives them the ability to make a felony arrest and/or use deadly force does not change because of the car they are riding in. Besides, liability issues are only a concern if you are alive to face them.
