SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that—

2004 (Public Law 108–277; 118 Stat. 865) gives 
certain law enforcement officers, including certain 
correctional officers of the Bureau of Prisons, the 
right to carry a concealed firearm in all 50 States 
for self-protection; 
(2) the purpose of that Act is to allow certain 
law enforcement officers to protect themselves while 
off duty; 
(3) correctional officers of the Bureau of Pris-
ons have been the targets of assaults and murders 
while off duty; and 
(4) while that Act allows certain law enforce-
ment officers to protect themselves off duty, the Di-
rector of the Bureau of Prisons allows correctional 
officers of the Bureau of Prisons to securely store 
personal firearms at only 33 Federal penal and cor-
rectional institutions while at work.
