Even within Florida, there doesn't seem to be a standard code regulating how neighborhood patrol groups should operate.

WEST PALM BEACH — On a day when thousands marched in Sanford to protest the shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin by a volunteer neighborhood watchman, West Palm Beach acting police co-chief Bryan Kummerlen assured commissioners that a similar incident won't happen here.

"Citizen observers have no authority and will not carry any type of weapon while working in a citizen observer patrol program, even if they are licensed to do so," Kummerlen said at a commission workshop on Monday. "Even if they have a license to carry a firearm, they still can't. They can't carry knives." http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/st...e-2263049.html

In NYC, the unpaid Auxiliary Police, who are attached to the NYPD and uniformed, don't carry handguns.
