My question is what is the need? Are there brutal beatings happening at such a rate that an off-duty cop needs to be carrying? Lets think of the consequences here. Does anyone know when is the last time a armed cop or security guard fired his gun in a stadium full of people? Do we really want an off duty cop pulling out his gun and firing it at someone with so many innocent bystanders around? This sounds like a horrible idea.
Read my numerous posts on this in this very thread. Would you have him walk back to his car with his wife and kid, unarmed, while a felon he locked up is following him?

This is a legitimate concern, but what is the difference between him walking back to his car from the game and him walking back to the car from a bar?

No, that's not what the federal law was for because that would make zero logic. Why would a cop from Louisiana need to carry outfit in Montana? He didn't arrest anybody in Montana. The law was done to basically give special privilege to LEOs and grant them a federal blanket CCL as a perk of the job.
So expected to walk back to my car with possibly a crazy Philadelphia Eagles fan that got pissed bc I cheered for my team kicking a game winning field goal following me and my family but BC im not a LEO I don't get to be armed? That's not special privilege for
cops?
I'll admit I'm a bit harder on cops BC I was one and I know the mentality the vast majority operate with but it I see no actual benefits of an off duty LEO carrying at an NFL game.
