True. Most (not all) carry 24X7 as well. In the NYPD you do not have to...but you cannot carry your badge unless you do (only your ID card). They won't tell you that. But that's the rules. In fact when i worked in Brooklyn North it was so bad, that we would drive home with our gun loaded in our lap. At least until we got out of NYC.
I remember going to a club once and there was a spackle bucket behind the bouncer full of guns that he was holding for cops as they came to the door. Meanwhile it's against rules to carry your gun in an establishment that serves alcohol & every cop would say "I dont carry it, I don't need it" but clearly they did.
I figure, why not? in the off chance that something happens and I cannot back out, why not have the extra protection, can't hurt.
