IDPA state match questions
I'm hoping to shoot the state match this year, and I have a few questions.
I'm a full-time LEO, and I shoot IDPA with my duty gun and rig. I know club level matches make an exception for the concealment garment when using actual duty gear, will this apply at the state match, too?
Also, my gear has a Taser holster, because I carry one at work. We do not take our Tasers home, though; we check it out at the beginning of each shift and turn it in at the end of the shift. Will having an empty Taser holster somehow be a rules violation? I've been shooting that way at club matches, but again, don't know if things will change at the state match.
Finally, I don't carry my radio at club matches, either. They cost just under $4000 to replace and my department WILL hold me accountable if it gets broken or lost off-duty.
Would it be wise to invest in the plastic "blue guns" for the radio and Taser, or will they be ok with having empty holders on my duty rig?
Lastly, how many people have signed up? I'm waiting to shoot the classifier before I send in my app, but I don't want to wait too long.

If anyone has more questions about this policy, please contact the Match Director, President of Front Range IDPA or IDPA HQ in Berryville AR.
Please keep in mind we will be looking for match director for the 2008 match shortly after this years match. Its a completely thankless job but at least the hours are long and the pay nill.
