Many Law Enforcement agencies require their officers to carry at all times. I believe the reasoning is that if you're carrying your badge, you need to also carry something to back it up with. Many officers have a reason to. One of my father's best friends, a retired, highly decorated officer, had many death threats given to him by "perps" who may just act on them when they get out of prison. He always has at least one gun on him at all times.
