Who has more rights a police officer or a cilvilian when carring a pistol out of state?

Answer 1

It depends on where you are. First, just for reference, police officers ARE civilians, at least in the U.S. On to your question: referring to the U.S. at least, a police officer sort of has more rights. Federal law HR218 allows full time or retired police officers to carry in any state in the U.S.

Non-police officers that have gun carry permits can only carry in states that allow it. For instance, the state of TN recognizes permits from any state, so anyone in the U.S. that has a valid permit can carry a gun while in TN. However, some states, New Jersey for instance, doesn't recognize permits from any state, so a non-police officer cannot carry while in New Jersey.
