That's why I suggested that a state issued ccw permit should be able to be substituted for the qualification part of LEOSA. They are easy to obtain in most cases and the individual states have determined that they are good enough for the tens of thousands of untrained civilians residing within their state. Regardless of what they entail for qualification if they are good enough to allow a civilian to carry they should be good enough to allow a trained veteran(at least 10 years of service) LEO to carry since as a retiree there is no more responsibility on us than a civilian has. Would appreciate it if you could go back to your contacts and present this idea to them and see what they think about a third amendment to the act.
