Can a reserve police officer carry a firearm?
Reserve officers can carry firearms after satisfactorily completing the same course of study required for regular officers. They must also qualify on a supervised range the same as regular officers. Reserve officers may only carry firearms when they are on duty, unlike regular officers that may carry firearms at all times. A city may have reserve officers that are not armed. The reserve officer must meet all the training requirements of other reserve officers with the exception of the firearms training and qualification.
