I think the biggest question about leosa (HR-218) is it a permit? Do leosa holders have to have a state permit in order to purchase a weapon? If so, where in the book does it say that, better yet, are breaking any laws if you do not have a state permit.

[@JimmyMichalski-uc5cq]

If a retired police officer committed a crime and stood on the leosa and the i d dont exist what happens???

Calif 32406PC exempts retired cops from the Hi-Cap magazine ban.

[@starlordnetzero9633]

As you may be aware there is a pending Bill to amend HR 218 to clarify the magazine restriction issue. No one wants to be the test case and I have not seen any cases addressing this but I would argue that it was Congress intent to permit the officer to carry the ‘gun ‘ which the officer normally carries and qualifies using. Otherwise you get the crazy situation where a NYPD officer going home to NJ with his service weapon has to leave his standard mags at the station or swap at the state line (what does he do with the empty standard mag since that’s what is illegal under state law?). There is a more sinister issue under California SB2. That ‘sensitive place’ law make NO provision for active off duty or retired out of state officers. SB2 (exempts active/retired California cops) does not address LEOSA but clearly the federal law would trump SB2. Calif is frankly evil and this was an intentional omission since SB2 specifically exempts ON Duty Out of State LE officers.

[@puppet87112]

Question. For the authorized by agency to carry, does that just mean you do a qualification and you can carry under certain circumstances? Like I am a corrections officer I am qualified to carry a handgun with them because certain posts require a handgun such as transports, the front gate is an armed post does that qualify for that section second question does this statue cover the statutory power of arrest. NM Stat § 33-1-10 (2023) Correctional officers of the corrections department, or any employee of the corrections department who has at the particular time the principal duty to hold in custody or supervise any person accused or convicted of a criminal offense or placed in the legal custody or supervision of the corrections department, shall have the power of a peace officer with respect to arrests and enforcement of laws when on the premises of a New Mexico correctional facility or while transporting a person committed to or under the supervision of the corrections department; when supervising any person committed to or under the supervision of the corrections department anywhere within the state; or when engaged in any effort to pursue or apprehend any such person. No correctional officer or other employee of the corrections department shall be convicted or held liable for any act performed pursuant to this section if a peace officer could lawfully have performed the same act in the same circumstances. B. Crimes against a correctional officer or an employee of the corrections department while in the lawful discharge of duties which confer peace officer status pursuant to this section shall be deemed the same crimes and shall bear the same penalties as crimes against a peace officer. C. As used in this section, "supervising" includes the performance of the following official duties by probation and parole officers of the corrections department: (1) field investigations; (2) surveillance; (3) searches and seizures conducted alone or in cooperation with a state or local law enforcement agency; and (4) security during the course of a probation or parole revocation hearing or proceeding or any other hearing or appearance required by law. D. The provisions of Section 31-1-10 NMSA 1978 [33-1-10 NMSA 1978] shall apply to all pending applications and pending cases.

[@barneywhite8629]

What about if you work 25 years as a Correctional Officer with peace officer status and you decide to resign and retire as a civilian? If I resign I’m not entitled to Retirement Credentials so what would my options be?

So I have a question I am a retired sheriffs officer in New Jersey. I am currently a school resource officer, but hired directly by the board of education. The eighth grade class goes on a trip to Washington and the seventh grade class goes on a trip to Boston can I legally carry under LEOSA carry to these states in order to be a chaperone and protect my student students?

[@BluetoGold]

It sounds like you are a current LEO who is authorized to make arrests and carry a firearm in NJ. If so you qualify under LEOSA.

[@sj-dm1th]

@ No I am a retired sheriffs officer now working directly for the Board of Education as a School Resource Officer….not active LEO, not a class 3 SLEO….

[@drgrey7862]

I do the LEOSA quals for the Metro Atlanta area as a GAPOST instructor- many States like GA have by statute (16-11-130 (c)e) given retired officers that meet POST standards as retirees and part of the LEOSA quals give retired officers the ability to carry anywhere an active duty officer can carry in the State; other states have granted similar exemptions from standard concealed carry restrictions - if a LEOSA officer is traveling, you might encourage them to check State exemptions for retired officers in that State.

[@BluetoGold]

I will do that. But in my experience these laws only cover retired officers from their state, not other states. Of course a lot of this is moot under con law carry. Thank you.

[@drgrey7862]

@@BluetoGold check AZ and KS...Im told also MO.... GA says "residents" under LEOSA but that is important to know if your a LEOSA carry in your state gives you special privileges. Not sure on your Con Carry point but in GA Con Carry has same restrictions as the GA CCW.... which we exempt LEOSA carry certified by GAPOST as part of the LEOSA process in this State. So a significant benefit. We always encourage traveling officers to always check the CCW laws, Self Defense Laws for the States they will visit. We suggest some real-time database apps they can put on their phones. We provide a 2 hour UOF review (Self Defense Laws) for civilians; LEOSA review similar to your webinar and finally we discuss how GA has interpreted weapon "type" then conduct the quals. They get 3 hrs credit on their State training record. This applies to retired officers that have moved to GA or Feds like me... all are issued a retired officer number on their record and card that serves as proof of training.

[@rubens2849]

Good info. Thank you

[@BluetoGold]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheVman690]

You're correct. Constitutional carry should be available to all.. I think if we removed the special rights that make law enforcement a special class of citizen giving them a higher claim over life liberty and family. They would follow up their empty words with actions in granting equal rights to all and help to ammend their hypocritical oath. In the Peoples Republic of NewYork, Law Enforcement active or retired are exempt from the Safe Act and the Concealed Carry Improvement Act that they strictly enforce on the citizens they live amongst.. Why would they side with the people. When it's the government that pays their salary, pension, and grants them special rights?

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Well, if the government doesn’t pay cops’ their “salary & pension,” will you??? Start writing a check please. …yeah, that’s what I thought.

[@Robert_Preston]

Every citizen has the right to protect themselves no matter what state they are in or traveling in. This 'special privilege' is BS. Why do cops get to protect themselves that the rest of us don't?

​​@@Robert_Preston Because, when you're a tool of government you're granted special privilege and you carry a higher claim over your life, liberty, and protecton of your family. These men and women have no legal obligation to protect you or your family.. How do you get a person who swears an oath the defend the constitution to strictly enforce unconstitutional laws on the people they live amongst? You grant them special privilege and exempting them from the laws,so they don't ever feel the pain,risk or inconvenience of the unconstitutional laws..

[@KD-np2pr]

Regarding the type of firearm that may be carried, LEOSA permits eligible retired officers to qualify with one type of firearm and subsequently be approved to carry concealed any other legal firearm of the same type. Federal law classifies firearms as either handguns, rifles, or shotguns and makes no distinction between semiautomatic, revolver, or any other operating class of handguns. Therefore, whether it's a pistol or a revolver, there's no need for a separate qualification unless the additional firearms fall under the rifle or shotgun classification.

[@carljackson5484]

I retired in NJ after 10 years of service due to work related TBI. I was given retired ID but initially denied because they said a TBI is a mental illness. I appealed and had to pay over a thousand dollars for a fit to carry evaluation by a psychiatrist. I was eventually approved by the state police and prosecutor fought against it. Luckily the judge agreed with me

I live in San Diego County. When I went to the San Diego Sheriff’s Office with a valid LEOSA card due to expire, they told me they would only qualify retired Federal or their own retirees. So now what? Am I supposed to travel back to the east coast to complete a qualification course each year? I was a firearms instructor for the department I retired from. They don’t have to issue a card, just let me qualify and forward the results to my former department who will issue my card. This was my dilemma with LEOSA carry.

[@BluetoGold]

This is a real issue with no easy answer. However, there are a lot of agencies in CA that will qualify you, but you have to ask around. There may be a forum on this. But if you can’t find someone then also see if a private person is licensed to do it. Otherwise, you need to go to your original agency.

[@richardjackson8071]

This occurred in 2008. I think back then I reviewed the requirements under the law, and it was the SO who had to qualify me. I could be wrong though.

[@brianstack8379]

With LEOSA HR218, you have to qualify every 12 months. How often does a retired officer in California have to qualify to keep his CCW for California only?

[@sj-dm1th]

⁠ no I am a retired sheriffs officer now employed directly by the board of education as a school resource officers/security. I am not an active law-enforcement officer anymore, and I am not a class three special in uniform clothes.

[@bksa169aguy6]

So I just wanted to comment on the hi-cap mag thing for retirees. I read in LEOSA somewhere that a retiree can carry his 15 round mags that were in his service pistol along with that service pistol once he retires if he chooses.

[@BluetoGold]

LEOSA does not address magazines. I recommend you follow State law until LEOSA is updated in congress.

[@richardmiller5456]

Please let LEOSA carriers know about the 9th Circus decision May vs. Bonta regarding sensitive places in California and Hawaii. In California, PC 302406(a) allows retired LEOSA to carry standard capacity magazines.

[@richardmiller5456]

Oops PC 32406(a)

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Only if the retired officer resides in California. If you’re a retired cop from another state, then you’re limited to 10 rounds or less, irregardless of LEOSA.

[@richardmiller5456]

Retired Feds can still carry in California. It's specifically mentioned in the statute.

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

@@richardmiller5456 That’s not what I’m clarifying. I’m clarifying the fact that retired LE (state, county, city, Feds) visiting in California are limited to 10-round magazines. Only retired LE that are RESIDENTS of California, may possess their hicap magazines (provided they had them all along while residing in California). In other words, it’s too late for a retired cop in another state to move to California now and bring their hicap mags into the state. That’s now a no-go.

[@richardmiller5456]

​@@colt10mmsecurity68 That's interesting. Besides how the PC reads, is there any other laws that say it only state residents? Meanwhile, May vs. Bonta decision by the 9th Circus just ruined LEOSA and the CCW with their "sensitive places" ruling...

[@crjcrj8443]

I have disagree with some of the interpretations of LEOSA here. PTSD related retirement isn’t LEOSA qualifying if that was the reason for the retirement. The ID also must be issued by the agency you had worked for and not by a separate agency in a strict interpretation of the law.

[@juniorrobo9945]

@@crjcrj8443 that’s how my department interprets it as you describe…agree with you!

California DOJ informed me in 2023 that they 'do not recognize LEOSA' so just FYI to anyone wanting (why) to travel to the Democratic People's Republic of California. I'd expect them to be sued one day like New Jersey was to comply.

[@Adam-os2cl]

I am a retired Military police and have a question that was not addressed in video. As a retired person they don’t offer a qual I can take.

[@Recoil_Ready]

Read up on 18 USC § 926C....specifically (d)(2)(b) of that law. Take the on duty or retired LE pistol course that is offered by your STATE OF RESIDENCE. Call local police departments and they can help. I just got my done and they gave me a LEOSA Qualification Course Card. Its very easy, but some local LE wont know what to do, just provide them with this information and they can help or draft some papers up for you so you can qualify.

[@Adam-os2cl]

Thank you I missed that

A lot of depts will not qualify a person that didn’t retire from “their” dept; this very common. Find an NRA or state firearms instructor that can run the course for you.

[@jshobe393]

If an active duty officer can carry an SBR per LEOSA does that mean they are not required to get permission from the ATF via a Form 11 when going to a different state with that SBR?

[@richardmiller5456]

If an active LEO is carrying a SBR, it's probably property of the government agency tZleLEO works for. Privately owned NFA items (except silencers) must have a BATF Form 3220.20 filled out before taken out of the owner's home state. LEOSA doesn’t cover NFA items...

[@jshobe393]

@@richardmiller5456 at about the 48 minute mark he specifically mentions that SBRs are covered as firearms under LEOSA but not silencers, full auto, or destructive devices. He doesn’t cover my question though which is why I asked it. I’m also not asking about government property. I know plenty of cops with NFA items that don’t belong to agencies.

[@richardmiller5456]

@jshobe393 I appreciate your reply. I, too, know LEO that own NFA items. The SBR is a NFA item. The owner better have a Form 4 tax stamp! The BATFE requires the filing of the Form 3220.20 in order to travel outside the owner's home state. If they're not doing that, they could face federal charges. The presentation is good, but he gets somethings mixed up.

[@Nciswit1]

Yes you need the BATF forms if not agency owned.

[@crjcrj8443]

LEOSA only covers state and local law. It does not cover federal law so all ATF restrictions in law would still be in effect

[@tomsnelling4603]

Good presentation, but in regard to that poor excuse of a state, New Jersey, I’m surprised that you didn’t mention “FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ASSOCIATION vs. GUBIR GREWAL.” Basically, the fascists that run Jersey had their asses handed to them by 2 federal courts. Without going off in the weeds, The courts put an injunction against Jersey basically MAKING them follow federal law. Therefore retirees there need only qualify once a year, hollow points are legal and there’s no maximum age for LEOSA there. The latest bill HR-354 is the latest bill (mentioned at the end of the presentation) that cleans up a lot of restrictions. It did pass the house and is in The Senate where it will probably die on Schumer’s desk. Last, I agree with getting a CCW. Here in Florida, if nothing else it exempts you from the ridiculous 3 day waiting period saving you a trip.

Active Feds can, on or off duty. They just need the UFAN number that TSA sends out to the Federal agencies. Once the federal agent retired, he's nobody and has to transport his firearms like every other non-LEO....

Only active Feds can on commercial aircraft on/off duty after passing course (usually done at basic class) local on duty can after passing course and being on official duty with leads mesgs sent. That same local can NOT carry on aircraft off duty.

But he is not required to leave his ordinary occupation to act as a detective in search for offenders. And it is not neglect of official duty of a constable to fail to cause the prosecution of persons for misdemeanors not committed in his presence. 40A:9-120. Constables; Appointment The governing body of any municipality, by resolution, may appoint not less than 2 nor more than 50 Constables. To be eligible the persons to be appointed Constables shall be residents and qualified voters of the municipality for at least 3 years prior to their appointment. Constables may exercise their functions and perform their duties anywhere in the county wherein the appointing municipality is located. 2A:156-1. Peace officer in fresh pursuit may arrest anywhere in state Any peace officer of this state in fresh pursuit of a person who is reasonably believed by him to have committed a high misdemeanor in this state or has committed, or attempted to commit, any criminal offense in this state in the presence of such officer, or for whom such officer holds a warrant of arrest for a criminal offense, shall have the authority to arrest and hold in custody such person anywhere in this state.
