Since the feds don't take care of qualifying their retired LEOs and in some instances don't issue the required ID, I'm fortunate to have a sheriff's office that not only makes it a non-issue, but is welcoming as well.
Every July I go down to the local indoor range during hours it is available only to the sheriff's office and get my annual LEOSA qualification, (day and night), taken care of with no muss, fuss or drama.
The captain that runs the qualification couldn't be a better guy and treats me like a brother in blue despite being retired from LE.
They never ask but I always send a letter of thanks to the sheriff to let him know how much he and his deputies mean to me for extending the courtesy. A better bunch would be hard to find.
Now I just have to wait for the card from the state DOJ that shows I'm good for another year.
