Retired police officers & feds of various flavors aren't uncommon in California. Their retired LE status lets them carry concealed without issue, even in downtown San Francisco.
For some positions, the ability to carry concealed was mandatory (e.g. the CEO's driver/bodyguard). Related aside: the CEO I'm thinking of wasn't allowed to drive himself in order to avoid any stock hits if they whapped into a kid running into the street after a ball (or what have you).
