The Bureau of Prisons must give its law-enforcement workers a safe way to keep guns outside a prison’s secure area. The Director must either provide a locked storage area outside the secure perimeter or let staff use a Director-approved vehicle lockbox. The Director must also allow staff to carry a concealed firearm on the grounds outside the secure area. Definitions: employee = a Bureau of Prisons law-enforcement officer. The words "firearm" and "qualified law enforcement officer" get their meanings from section 926B.
