Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (federal law)

Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (federal law)
In 2004, the United States Congress enacted the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, 18 U.S. Code 926B and 926C. This federal law allows two classes of persons — the "qualified law enforcement officer" and the "qualified retired law enforcement officer" — to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of any state or local law to the contrary, with certain exceptions.

anybody know anything about this? so does this mean if you are an officer you need not apply for out of state LTC's? does anyone know if that covers Aux police qualified to carry?

The short form is that there are a lot of qualifiers designed specifically to exclude "law enforcement light" - including a requirement that you be "pension eligible". If your department has a defined benefit/401K rather than a pension, or if your a part time/aux whis is not eligible for a pension, you're lumped in with us civilian scum.

Drew, do some Searching here in the LEO Bubba forum. Plenty of info from the past.

Also look for my post in late September about the EOPS CMR hearing (bonded warehouses and LEOSA) and the travesty of a GCAB meeting that I attended. Might be in the Gun Laws forum.

MA has yet to implement a system to deal with LEOSA and their intent is DISQUALIFY anyone who is NOT a FT Muni PO or MA SP Trooper!! The CMRs won't even allow Fed LEOs who retire to qualify in MA.
