Here's the scenario:
A female trainee PI (a person in the employ of a licensed PI from whom she gets a W-2 form and is receiving training with a view to becoming a licensed PI in due course) has a current and clear CCW permit and carries an NAA mini-revolver for self-defense off duty. On duty, she is not supposed to be armed, but she carries the weapon anyway in her purse or strapped to her leg under her pants) because 'criminals aren't too fussy about the law and she'd rather be alive and in trouble than dead.' A police officer has never seen the weapon in the female's possession while she's been on duty, but is aware that the case she's currently investigating could well be dangerous. He suspects, therefore, that the female 'trainee PI' may be armed.
