I believe the case that made headlines was a Sergeant in Corrections. I do believe there were others that ran into trouble for hollow points in their off duty. But its been a few years...
Yeah he wasn't a QLEO under LEOSA, nor a LEO even in his own home state, which is why he had a CCW.

my prediction:
NJ SC will deny it.
SCOTUS will not take up the case.
LEOs can suffer like us common folk.
as for active but off duty, 99% of the ones I've talked to have said no way they'll carry... if they get jammed up they're fucked as bad as the rest of us (union's lawyers are not available.)
Understood. But knowing NJ like I do, I would not recommend having a mag over 10 or HP ammo unless you where on official LE business to the state.
Case law surrounding LEOSA is not favorable to jurisdictions looking to test its limits by arresting qualified LEOs. The law is clear on the ammo issue, if not (yet) on mag capacity. NJ can pound sand.
As for those who opine that LEO’s can/should suffer disarmament along with the rest of the populace, try to put aside your jealousy and remember that more armed “good guys” out and about are good for society. We can wish there were more, and should strive for that through legislative channels, etc., but any gloating about off-duty LEOs being given a hard time for carrying is not reflective of a reasonable and pro-gun attitude.
Well, in that case let's just try sticking to the facts instead of hearsay, and refrain from telling sworn federal agents that they shouldn't carry anything more than 10 rounds or JHPs in NJ when they're perfectly legal to both by NJ and federal law.
