TLDR: Falls out of waistband dancing at a club. Fires it in the process of picking it up hitting someone in the leg.
Are LE allowed to have their duty sidearm in a bar when there off duty? Are they allowed to consume alcohol while carrying?

And the public thinks that only LE are responsible enough to have guns....I hope the closest this Agent gets to wearing another badge is Mall Security with a flashlight.
I’m sure he badged his way in there.Originally Posted by CavSct1983

Can't drink while carrying on LEOSA, but otherwise they are required to follow state and local laws, meaning he would have been perfectly legal carrying at a bar in Colorado, as long as he wasn't drinking.
I just have to wonder what kind of cheap ass holster this guy is using? Uncle Mike's strikes again?
You don't have to have a level 3 retention holster, but my God would it kill you to buy a decent, molded leather or Kydex holster that will retain your gun when dancing (or the even more likely "running to chase a suspect" scenario)? IIRC, FBI agents start out at almost 50k a year, so even if he was a rookie he could afford a good holster.

9 News just reported, "he tried to impress the crowd with a backflip." Doh!
In terms of what's legal the short answer to both questions is "Yes". Assuming the bar doesn't prohibit firearms it would be legal. And it would be legal to consume alcohol as long as he wasn't intoxicated. Legal does not equal smart.
In terms of what the FBI policies and procedures dictate, that's a different story. I'm highly doubtful the FBI condones their SAs going out to a bar and drinking while carrying a handgun.
On the other hand, the FBI apparently condones lying to get FISA warrants, planting spies in campaigns of presidential candidates and lots of other shady shit. So it's probably cool what this guy did.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
It seems it went off when he picked it up. Apparently "Always keep your finger off the the trigger until ready to use" doesn't apply to back flips while dancing
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
