Yes I'm familiar with 18 U.S Code 926B and 926C. But it is not a blank check. I do have to follow the various state laws as regarding firearms on private property and state, county and local goverment property. And I also have to obey all Federal laws regarding firearms on Federal property.

My concealed carry piece has to be one approved by my department and I have to have my badge and police photo I.D. card with me as well. When I go to Oregon I leave my G26 in my car if we're going to walk on the beaches. It's my understanding that under Oregon state law only law enforcement personal on duty can have firearms on the beaches. I might be wrong but I'm not going to chance it.

Having said all that I also have a CCW through Idaho mainly because I support the program.
