A letter sent to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell from the National Fraternal Order of Police is asking the league to allow off-duty and retired law enforcement officials to carry concealed firearms into NFL stadiums on game day.
National FOP president Chuck Canterbury originally sent the letter on Nov. 20, which argues that having the extra hands on deck in a stadium could deter a terrorist attack.
“The terrorist attacks and threats of attacks from organizations like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are selecting targets based on the amount of death and injury they can inflict - mass murder and casualty events,” writes Canterbury.
