Report: Off-Duty Officers Allowed To Carry Guns At TCF Bank Stadium

MINNEAPOLIS (WCOC) – Off-duty police officers will now be allowed to carry handguns at Vikings games at TCF Bank Stadium.

Reports state a judge made the ruling after the Minneapolis Police Union and Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association sued last year.

The NFL had banned guns for all but working officers and security personnel.

But a state law restricts the ability of private establishments to limit the carrying of firearms by off-duty officers.

On Friday, a judge found the legislature intended the law to apply to the university, NFL and Vikings.
