Good to meet you too, Marc. Never was there an attempt to attack you personally or in the vernacular to "flame" you. It has always been about the content. Bear in mind that many people read these posts and will develop opinions based upon what they see here. That is the purpose of the forum rules regarding cites and why we attempt to correct faulty impressions. I repeat, it is NOT a personal thing. There is no me vs you.
OCDO is
very much a forum based on the laws and citing them. With out such a requirement, everything here would be hearsay. Please read Rule #5

A little background may help your perception. For many years I was an instructor attached to our academy, one of my off-spring is the Senior Instructor at the State Academy so I am not entirely w/o knowledge and resources.
Your cites still do not support your premise that you qualify under LEOSA to carry in any state w/o permit. What your cites do is authorize you to "arrest" a prisoner/inmate. In our state parlance this falls under maintaining "custody and control". You do not have what is commonly called power of "statutory arrest" as a municipal LEO would have.
I do not anticipate that my points will convince you, but it is my fervent hope that you will not put yourself at risk by doing what you apparently believe is right in this case. The cost could be extreme. I also do not want anyone else to simply accept your premise.
I do look forward to Florida one day getting OC legalized and strongly encourage you to get your permit to conceal, especially if you travel out of state.
If you ever get to Virgina, I'd be most happy to share a meal with you and chat a while as friends. Just don't conceal here w/o an accepted permit.
