I think the difference here is whether he is authorized to carry a firearm, or required to carry his firearm. If authorized, he should use his best judgement and leave the firearm at home. If he is required to carry it, then he should not be held back from coaching because of it. He should however, use some discretion about displaying it. I think he could carry his firearm and badge, and go unnoticed to the general public. Common sense to me.
