My guard unit being called up for state active duty for the Derby. I am in an MP unit, and will be put in a Law and Order position, be it directing traffic or whatever. As I am not an MP, I am not qualified/authorized to carry an M9 Beretta, and rifles will not be issued. Basically they're making me the equivilent of mall security, except I don't get a flashlight or a whistle. Tension runs high in some parts of the city during the festivities, and I feel that I am being inserted into a dangerous situation with no means to protect myself. Then I found this: http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/KRS/038-00/420.PDF
that gives me peace officer status in regards to weapons carry while on SAD. That leads me to http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/KRS/527-00/020.PDF where paragraph 2 gives me authorization to CC in the discharge of my official duties. So I can legally carry, permit-free, while out doing whatever I am doing? It's BS that they want to send me out without a means of defense. Trying to tip the scales (ever so slightly) in my favor, especially if dealing with this: http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070501/DERBYFUN/705010406
