In the wake of recent terrorist attacks in Paris, Detroit police union officials are expressing their opposition to an NFL policy that prohibits off-duty cops from bringing firearms into stadiums, saying the rule puts lives in danger.
“This policy is ill-advised and should be rescinded,” said a draft of a letter, penned by leaders of the city’s three police unions: The Detroit Police Officers Association, Lieutenants and Sergeants Association and the Command Officers Association.
Ed.: They only want the ban on them being armed rescinded, not the ban on the rest of us. |

CPL licensees are prohibited from carry at Lions games by state law and NFL policy. Members of the unions mentioned here are prohibited only by NFL policy.
The unions just want the NFL policy brought in line with state law, which forbids carry by a group with much lower than average violent crime rates (CPL holders) while allowing carry by two groups (off duty cops and ex-cops) with above average violent crime rates. |
