What police chief can, can't do | Cincinnati.com | cincinnati.comCan Cincinnati Chief Craig carry a gun?
The short answer is probably. The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution proclaims “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.†But many states, including Ohio, have placed restrictions on the Second Amendment. Rules get even more complicated for peace and law enforcement officers, but Cincinnati City Manager Milton Dohoney, Craig’s boss, says he wants the chief to carry a gun. John Curp, Cincinnati city solicitor, said he’s “not aware of anything that would not allow (Craig) to carry his gun anywhere†and that while he “doesn’t get dressed in the morning†with the chief, Curp expects Craig is usually carrying a gun, even when he’s out of uniform.
It's an interesting situation...
IMHO, things would be much simpler and just by changing the law to reflect "shall not be infringed."
