Some departments are very particular about which guns you can carry. For example, Dallas PD only allows officers to carry a Sig brand 9mm or .357Sig pistol on or off duty.
Actually even with the CHL the department policy would still be enforced over the officer. Many departments also have rules that say you can carry almost anything you want off duty but they have a qualification course for that weapon. It's usually a little different than the regular qual.

If I'm not mistaken didn't George Bush sign a law that allowed us LEOs from the US to carry anywhere in the union?
That's right he did. Keith was referencing that when he talked about the LEOSA act.
