I am in favor of this bill. As a federal correctional officer, I personally do not foresee the need for myself to carry a firearm off duty, but I live in a rural area that has a very low crime rate. After seeing on newsclips the things that DO occur with officers in metropolitan areas, I am glad that this bill has come to light.

Anytime you talk about increasing penalties and limiting damages for felons against LEO's in the performance of their duties you should have 100% support from everyone except the criminals. The fact that a thug can file a lawsuit against LEO’S in the defense of self/the performance of their duties, you see where society went wrong. The fact that any LEO is discouraged from carrying a firearm is a disgrace. Not only are they sacrificing their own safety but they endanger the public by virtue of the fact they are unarmed.
