Maybe LEOs can answer this?

Doc
In our state (and maybe everywhere as far as I know) prosecutors are considered quasi law enforcement. When my wife went to work for the city attorney's office she was given a badge and ID card in a folding wallet just the detectives on TV carry. She was told she could buy a "Blue Label" police model Glock if she wanted one at cost through the city purchasing office.

Can she carry concealed or does she need a permit like regular folks?

    Seems she's working in the perfect place to get that question answered.

    "she was given a badge and ID card in a folding wallet just the detectives on TV carry."

    That would indicate the power of arrest w/o any of the training to go with it. Dangerous waters there.

    In my state, the offices of the prosecuting attorneys have "investigators" on staff who are sworn peace officers. Their main function is to act as assistants to the attorneys and buffers between the attorneys and the cops trying to file cases.

    The attorneys are not peace officers.

    Different states handles it differently. She should ask the city attorney

    In Georgia all law enforcement are required to have a conceal/carry permit but things may be different in your state. I've known several that lost their privilege to carry due to domestic assault charges, licenses revoked = lost jobs/careers......no exemptions [;)]

    In our state (Arkansas for Doc and me), act 746 of 2013 made carrying open or concealed legal in most places in the state, unless it is carried "with the intent to unlawfully use it to harm a person". I regularly carry open or concealed, according to my mode of dress, to the bank, Walmart, restaurants, gas stations, or just driving around. No permit is needed, and this has been proven in several court cases. So to answer your question, CARRY ON!

    In VA she'd be good to carry...our Judges, Justices and Commonwealth Attorney's and Asst. can carry concealed in the Commonwealth under their employment. They are exempted as are LE under the concealed weapon code.

    I was wondering not her. She isn't interested in carrying. It would actually be a question for the AG not the city attorney if a real legal opinion was needed.

    She was specifically told she does not have the same arrest powers as sworn police officers but nothing was said about carrying a gun.

    The AR "Act 746" is, apparently, being accepted as an open carry OK. But there is some debate about if it allows concealed carry.

    Yes, as always the laws vary state to state.
