If so what is the policy, if not why - if you know.

Also if you carry a BUG, what do you carry? firearm, caliber, ammo, holster, where, etc.

We are issued the Glock 21. Most guys carry the 36 as backup. Only policy is it must pass an armorers inspection, and you must qualify on a 16 yard (max distance) course of fire. Ammo is provided, no matter what you bring to qual.

Wouldn't the HR218 law cover "authorized" issue? And as was quoted above, if you need it, you are in the crap locker anyway, so what have you got to lose? Since the concept of a BUG is no one knows you have it, just expand that "no one knows" stuff to the morons who are home curled up with their teddy bears when the excrement strikes the oscillating air circulator.
