Off duty? Then what authority did he have? ->

I don't know the rules, but it seems to me if he's off duty he has no authority to pull someone over OR to be carrying a gun, for that matter.
Here in Chicago at one point retired cops and alderman all had "badges" and were allowed to carry guns. So of course an alderman pulled someone over once. Don't know if the practice ended. I doubt it.
If someone's "off duty" in an unmarked or private car (in Illinois gov't cars including cops have "M" as the first digit on the license plate) and pulls a gun one you I would think you'd have every right to defend yourself
