Best Answer

No, they cannot.

Since they are not peace officers, they are not protected under HR 218, to carry off duty.

They are considered conservators of peace. This means they may carry from a maximum of an hour before, and up to an hour after their duty at their facility.

They must check in or lock up their sidearm before starting duty.
