California Court of Appeal

In an action by a Sheriff's Association on behalf of certain custodial deputies designated as 'peace officer' under Penal Code section 830.1(c), seeking a judicial declaration that such custodial deputies may lawfully carry concealed firearms while off duty without the necessity of obtaining a permit to carry a concealed weapon, the trial court's judgment is reversed where the current practice of allowing custodial deputies to carry a concealed firearm while off duty only if that deputy has first obtained a license or a permit to carry a concealed weapon does not comport with section 25450, which categorically exempts all peace officers listed in section 830.1 from the prohibition against carrying a concealed weapon.
