Packers Challenge the Ruling

The National Football League recently “issued a rule to deny entry to any off-duty police officer who brings a concealed firearm to one of its stadiums …” And, as Eric Katz of Government Executive reports, it is being challenged by the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association which represents “more than 26,000 federal workers from more than 65 agencies.”

And argues that its “officers are ‘highly trained individuals who not only carry in an off-duty situation to protect themselves, but who can serve as valuable backup for stadium security.’”
