No.
If you are a law enforcement officer or retired law enforcement officer, yes. If you aren't, no. There is no CCW permit that is good thoughout the entire U.S.
Yes, under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), retired federal law enforcement officers are generally allowed to carry a concealed weapon nationwide as long as they meet certain criteria, such as completing an annual firearms qualification and not being prohibited from possessing a firearm.
In general, yes, under federal law HR218, a retired officer can carry a gun in any U.S. state.ADDED: HR 218 requires that the retired officer re-qualify with his sidearm once per year to the standards of the agency fom which he he retired or that of his local law enforcement agency.
No, I can't. YOU are being asked about YOUR experience in handling those. It might be a disagreement with a friend, teacher, co-worker or boss. I am retired Army, and a retired law enforcement officer. I had totally different experiences in handling conflict (I got to use guns, most people do not have that option) Write about YOUR experiences.
It depends on where you are. In most U.S. states, you have to take a safety class, then you apply to the state or to the local sheriff for the permit. Check with a local gunshop...someone there can probably give you more information.
If you mean a federal concealed weapons permit, there is no such thing. If you are a police officer or retired police officer, you can carry under federal law HR218, but other than that, you're out of luck.
It depends. A full time or retired officer can carry anywhere in the U.S. under federal law HR218, but there are some restrictions. The officer must follow (most) local laws of whichever state he or she is in.
No, because being a member of the National Guard has no impact upon the laws covering a concealed weapon in any US state. Special considerations on weapon carry exist for law enforcement and retired law enforcement only, although there are carry and concealed carry options for other people based upon local laws.
simple answer.....YES. It hasn't always been like that but in the last 10 or 20 years we have been deputized. Added 7/14/13 - depends on who you ask. Consider the case of Moore v. Trent No. 09 C 1712. and Zurek v. ILETSB, where the Court and the Illinois Law Enforcement Trainin and Standards Board (ILETSB) found that CO's are not the same as police officers for participation in the Illinois Retired Officer Concealed Carry (IROCC) Program.
Yes. California Dept. of Corrections officers are peace officers, and are allowed to carry their firearms on and off duty anywhere in the United States under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act.
One drink equals__________ in the eyes of law enforcement.
Yes, there ARE prohibited places. This action is covered by a Federal law - the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) , enacted in 2004. It covers two classes of persons - the "qualified law enforcement officer" and the "qualified retired or separated law enforcement officer" - and allows carry of a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States or United States Territories, regardless of state or local laws, with certain exceptions. If a person meets the criteria, "notwithstanding any provisions of the law of any state or any political subdivision thereof" he or she may carry a concealed firearm in that state or political subdivision. An individual who qualifies under LEOSA does not require a state-issued permit to carry a concealed firearm.Although LEOSA preempts state and local laws, there are two exceptions:1. The laws of that state may permit private persons or entities to prohibit or restrict the possession of concealed firearms on their property (such as bars, private clubs, amusement parks, etc.)2. Local laws may prohibit or restrict the possession of firearms on any state or local government property, installation, building, base, or park. Individuals must also obey any federal laws and agency policies that restrict the carrying of concealed firearms in certain federal buildings and lands, as well as federal regulations prohibiting the carriage of firearms on airplanes.
