The rule was changed and they did NOT have to carry off duty. After that a few officers carried when in the village that they were employed in, but no where else. After a few years, they all stopped carrying. I certainly don't know where they all are now that they are retired or weather they carry now, but I would guess that they don't. By the way, it was a very safe suburb, like TV.
I also still stand by my thought that people carry here for a reason other than fear of crime. TV is very, very safe.

Well, at least this post is a little bit more believable. You realize you went from a previous post that no LEO in your husband's group carried while off duty and none of them carry after they retired, to many carried off duty and you don't really know what they are doing in retirement? I hope the chief was not reacting to your irrational concern regarding guns and recreation that he changed department policy.
