I must have missed that part. I thought they were simply charged with carrying w/o a license, not carrying in a prohibited place. The quote from the idiot BATFE PIO certainly made it sound like the case was about LEOSA, and nothing else...then again, I had been awake for going on 24hrs when I read the post.

You're right, LEOSA doesn't exempt people from prohibited places enumerated in state law.
