      Agreed. I punched out a couple years earlier than planned, just prior to the madness of 2020.

      Best decision ever.

        Since most of us know or should know that an illegal can not obtain a firearm under federal law this is going nowhere. It's more virtue signaling.

        I think most of us have seen the effects of lowered hiring standards, how low are the politicians willing to go? My last 2 years as an FTO we released more trainees than we kept. They lowered our hiring standard to get more bodies, because our pay was toward the bottom of the agencies around us, it didn't help.

          This job isn't attracting the numbers of qualified candidates that it used to. There are many things we can blame for this, but that's irrelevant to the current conversation.

          The Dems are virtue signalling and trying everything they can to create a new voter base out of illegals. The amount of lives lost and innocents harmed by people that have no business being here is astounding to me. The politicians in this State have allowed this invasion to take place and are trying everything possible to normalize their failures.

            I wouldn’t put it past the state to try this even if it is illegal federally. Maybe the state will just go the route of the police in TJ and issue slingshots if they can’t have guns…

              From the article;

              "This bill only allows those who are living here legally and have the legal ability to work here -- through a visa, a green card -- to become peace officers. I just want to be clear on that," said Sen. Skinner at a March 22 Senate Public Safety Committee.

              I am glad I am retired. I never recommended LE as a career for my children and now for my grandchildren.

                Lol California and federal regulation do not go in the same sentence...Their sanctuary policy and refusal to work with ICE. It's one thing to protect undocumented aliens, but ABSOLUTELY another thing to protect criminal aliens which this state blatantly does.

                Again California DOES NOT CARE about FEDERAL REGULATIONS, thats not even a valid or reasonable argument.

                  I retired this year, and can only see ugly things in the foreseeable future.

                    A non-US citizen can get a firearm under federal (and state) law if they have a green card, or a hunting license.

                      Maybe you should go back and read what I actually wrote.
