Are there any places that a retired Federal officer cannot carry a concealed gun?
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.
