It would have been helpful if you provided a link to the law you cited. If you look it up ... it applies only to federal officers and officials being paid by the federal government (which I think basically means National Guard if they have been federalized). It doesn't constrain state and local officials.

Here's the link: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/5207

Also, note the following from the federal law:

Quote:
(b) Limitation

Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit any person in subsection (a) from requiring the temporary surrender of a firearm as a condition for entry into any mode of transportation used for rescue or evacuation during a major disaster or emergency, provided that such temporarily surrendered firearm is returned at the completion of such rescue or evacuation.
