Are you talking about Jimmy Carter and his secret service bodyguards? This would be an understandable exception. We all know that those vicious killer rabbits were all out to get him.

They actually do financial crimes and counterfeiting. I am talking about Dr. Robert Gates and the father-son camp out he did while working with the CIA. The CIA is not law enforcement, and hence his body guards should not be carrying while he was camping at a BSA activity officially. No one seemed to have a problem with it.

John-in-KC Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Most Federal agency protective details are formed of commissioned law enforcement officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle94-A1 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I don't believe CIA is covered, but I know who to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'm pretty sure that a protection detail was not an issue in 1998, but before my time and no photos have been provided to date. I should note it was particularly impressive to watch the joint task force have the honor of taking care of him as Secretary of Defense at the 2010 Jamboree. Was a great group of folks that were on that task force and everyone of them honored that he was in attendance. To the topic at hand. The exception to firearms applies to LE officers who are required to carry within their jurisdiction, hunting in Venturing, and as part of a BSA shooting sports program. Here is a link to what those are: https://www.scouting.org/outdoor-programs/shooting-sports/ Please don't put yourself, your membership or others at risk with prohibited activities.

RichardB Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The joint task force was all military not civilian. No one on that TF was my boss. Sorry for your confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle94-A1 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If memory serves, 2010 was on a military installation. We were their guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
