No. The Homeland Security Act and PATRIOT Act had no effect on off-duty officers and firearms. The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, also known as HR 218, was signed into law in 2004. It permits, but does not require, full-time American law enforcement officers in good standing to carry concealed firearms throughout the United States, regardless of their home jurisdiction. Honorably retired officers with 15 years or more of full-time service can also carry their firearms concealed, so long as they pass an annual qualification test and carry proof of such qualification with them.
