Off duty carry questioned?
Off-duty gun incident stirs residents | Petaluma360
Local residents still are buzzing over the arrest of an off-duty San Rafael police officer for allegedly threatening a man with a gun in downtown Petaluma on New Year's Eve, and some people are questioning whether off-duty officers should be allowed to carry firearms.
Cpl. Michael Augustus, 43, a Petaluma resident and member of the San Rafael Police Department, reportedly pulled a handgun from his waist and pointed it at a man that he had been arguing with outside Kabuki Restaurant, at 17 Petaluma Blvd. North, at 9:07 p.m. on Dec. 31.
“We live in a quiet, law-abiding community. Our officers are not under threat while off duty. They don't need to ... carry guns when they go out to dinner,”

I'm going to go with the typical MacLean reply, and suggest they go edited themselves.

You can be the weapon, and the gun in your hand is a tool - or the gun is a weapon and you are the tool.
