Where in my post did I suggest nobody should be armed? You obviously need armed personnel to deter any type of major threat. My question is where is the need for more armed people? Are there issues right now in football stadiums that this would solve, or are the possible consequences worse than any potential solution?

Since the start of the NFL how many off duty police officers have wounded or killed innocent bystanders during football games?

Why the need for the rule?

This is just another step toward removing guns from the public.

If a trained police officer can't carry a gun in public while off duty why should a normal citizen.

You cited somewhere being full of people and innocent bystanders as reasons why we shouldn't want someone shooting if need be. Whether someone is off duty or not, the bullets would still fly in the instance it was needed. Know how much I have to worry about an off duty cop shooting me? Zero. Because I do not break the law. But if some arse hole in front of me decides he wants to stab me and take my wallet and an off duty Trooper sitting next to me takes him out, I am all for it. I do not like being disarmed from my CCL in the instances that I am, but I am also not trained near to the level of a police officer.
