I am a fairly new deputy in North Dakota. I will be visiting my nephew in a north eastern county, specifically Becker County. Now with this new law HR 218, I am having trouble on where I can an cannot carry while off-duty. We all know the saying is that we are "never off-duty" lol. But, I digress. So to make this simple, I am going to be picking up and signing out my nephew from his HS for lunch on an upcoming visit. Under MN law a licenesed peace officer can carry off duty in a school, but the definition in the Statute only defines a "Peace Officer" under 626.84 as basically any state agency that has the power to act as a Law Enfrcement officer. Also under fed law I am not to carry, even as an off duty LEO with in a 1,000 ft of a school if I do not have that states CC permit. So as a LEO from another state and totally different jurisdiction outside of the state of MN, can I carry into the school under HR 218 aka LEOSA or not. I did email the Sheriff and the Chief of Police of the county and city respectfully to ask them. But as I wait for a response I wanted to hear what other officers from MN had to say cuz I know a few of them are on here.
Thanks
