The Minnesota Court of Appeals has ruled that the NFL can ban off-duty police officers from bringing guns into stadiums on game day, but the court indicated that it is leaving the door open for the ban to be overturned.

Minnesota is the only state so far in which the NFL’s 2013 ban has faced a legal challenge. The dispute began in February 2014, when two local law enforcement groups sued the NFL, saying they believe officers have the right to carry under state law and that the public expects them to always be on duty, even at a sporting event.

There is a word for off-duty police officers: Citizens.
