I am a retired reserve deputy in the gulf coast area. I have 11 years service and left in good standing.

My department says texas law requires 15 years or more and won't let me qualify.
I want to utilize LEOSA and I meet LEOSA requirements, do you know of any remedy for retirees in my predicament to get the firearms qualification?

How does Texas state law impact the FEDERAL law in question? 18 USC 926(c) requires 10 years, and that controls under the supremacy clause.
