Old Cops and H.R.218

[bigger hammer]

Just turned 76. 30 Years OJT. Retired in 2004. Carry every time I walk out the door, including into the back yard. Teach defensive firearms for a local shooting school. Train dogs for LE and SAR.

Qualify every year for LEOSA.

Just started carrying a Nighthawk, Firehawk, widebody in a 9mm in a Tier 1 Axis slim.

Ive always wondered if a active policeman would even harass a retired policeman for not having the proper paperwork to carry. Seems like when my dad was a policeman that the relationships they wouldn't even have the nerve to ask them for there paperwork. But I'm just a plumber not a policeman

Former SDPD and SD Community College PD here, although I was not a LEO long enough to retire. I have been with one of the big Wall Street firms for over 30 years though.

Can't do H.R. 218, but I just renewed my 2 year CCW through SD Sheriff's Dept and it was pretty easy. When I applied, being a former LEO seemed to help, but now, I think they're issuing permits to just about everyone who isn't too sketchy.
