My former Department qualifys us retired guys but won't do other agencies, even though we provide training and qualifications to all the Feds and many local jusrisdictions in our county. Bummer. I think we retired guys need to contact our House and Senate people and try to get the law amended to read "Must" instead of "may" or if nothing else allow retired guys (gals too) to carry in all 50 if they have a concealed permit from their home state......since we no longer have arrest powers I dont know why we have to qualify to departmental standards....Too bad about NYPD's draconian stance and shame on departments who won't honor the LEOSA act. I was on South Caronlias web site and their law as I understand it mandates qualification but I believe it says S.C. retired officers.....would be open to interpertation as to others.
