HR 218 (retirement question)

[oddjob]

I know HR 218 allows for retired LEO's to carry a ccw across state lines once qualified and endorsed.

My question is does there have to be list of authorized weapons on the retirement ID card/credentials? I ask because I talked to a recently retired LEO and he was told this by his agency. He told me this wasn't an agency policy, but a HR 218 requirement his agency told him about. I looked around and could find no such requirement.

thanks

There is no requirement in LEOSA for authorized weapons to be listed on the ID card. If you're carrying under LEOSA, your former agency's policy isn't applicable. That's not a free license to disregard your former agency's policy. It is a requirement in LEOSA that you possess an ID card. If your former agency withholds a card based on your violation of their policy, then you're up the proverbial creek...........

I know my department does record the make/model/serial # of weapons qualified with on their qualification card. We do that by our choice to have some measure of liability protection.

I just requalified last week. LASD only requires that you qualify the the type of firearm you plan on carrying, semi auto pistol, revolver, or derringer. The info goes on a form maintained by the department. The card, which goes with our retirement ID, does not state any specific firearm. The retirement ID has the CCW endorsement on it and is valid for five years. The HR218 endorsement is valid for one year.

CHP requires that you can only carry what type of handgun you qualify with. You can qualify with both a revolver and a semi if you want.

My Dept has a policy for active duty...No single action autos. However when I qualify all they ask is it a revolver or semi auto. With that I am assuming I can ccw a 1911 style firearm. I don't but I could.

Another policy an active duty Deputy has to follow is that all/any of your CCW weapons have to be approved by the range...not so for retired.

But as all agencies are...that can all change by the stroke of a pen.

The law says a qualified retired officer is allowed to carry a (read ANY) firearm other than a machine gun. Your agency can say whatever they want. If you qualify with ONE handgun, you can carry ANY handgun (minus full-auto). So, just humor them. Qual with one gun, then carry whatever you want. If you get jammed up, you will win.

Agreed! Only machine guns, guns with silencers or destructive devices are not covered under HR218.

So, you're saying the 60mm mortar in my trunk is a problem?

My retirement ID says a loaded, concealed firearm. Nothing about caliber or type.
