Officers on active duty will have a little more leeway when it comes to their sidearms. State Representative Henry Burns is behind the bill that would allow for off-duty officers to bring their firearms into a bar as long as they don't consume alcohol.
This would be the first bill that would allow for an officer to carry a gun into a bar while not on duty.
