Can a state trooper carry his own side arm?

I know that all state troopers are issued a side arm but i was wondering if they have their own personal gun, may they use that instead?

No. There are two reasons for this.

First, it is a liability issue for the department if something goes wrong with your gun. Secondly, everyone having the same gun makes training consistent.

They may authorize you to carry a personal weapon as a back up, but your primary weapon will be the one issued by the department.

Not in any state I know of. If you are in a shooting they can take the state gun, they may need a warrant to seize you own gun. Most do carry their own back-up

Issue is your weapon. Back up is your own.
