1. “With regard to the exceptions that Dodson complains of, they appear to be designed primarily to except these persons from the weapons prohibition in the statute, although by their terms they do except these persons from the drug weapons provision in section (E) as well. One rational basis for this would simply be to prevent an off-duty, reserve or retired officer from running afoul of the law inadvertently when assisting other officers or when there is a question about the on-duty or active status of the officer.”
