Did I read this right?  It is illegal for a cop to carry when 'off duty'?

This is, to me, a bizzare concept!  I've hung out with cops a bunch
and, at least in N. Calif, it has been often stressed that even if
they are out of uniform and 'off duty' that they were a cop 24 hours
a day.  AND that their departments expected them to be prepared/armed
at all times...

The image of a cop taking off his work cloths, hanging up his gun, and
punching the time clock, walking out the door and seeing a rape in
progress and thinking 'Gee, someone should call 911' is just bizzare ...
