my (Fla.) Sheriff told me we were never off-duty, only off shift. i carried at all times in my county. concealed when not on shift.
and if we wore anything, even a baseball cap, that IDed us as Sheriff Dept. we were required to carry.
i was appalled talking to some local town officers here (Mass.) who told me they had to lock up their weapons when off duty. i was shocked actually. you never know when you are going to run into someone who...ahem...doesn't like you. or when the guy in front of you at the 7-11 is about to rob the place.
