The Director of the Bureau of Prisons must make the head of every federal prison give staff a secure place to store guns outside the prison’s secure area or allow a Director‑approved vehicle lockbox. The Director must also let staff carry concealed guns on grounds outside the secure area, even if other laws say otherwise. “Employee” means a qualified law enforcement officer who works for the Bureau of Prisons. “Firearm” and “qualified law enforcement officer” are defined in section 926B.
