Lets current and retired police officers carry concealed firearms in more places, including school zones and some federal buildings.
This bill would let qualified current and retired law enforcement officers carry concealed firearms in more places. This includes school zones and certain federal facilities that are open to the public. It would also make it easier for retired officers to meet training requirements and clarify where they can carry their firearms.
Today, federal law generally restricts carrying firearms in school zones and many federal buildings. Qualified current and retired law enforcement officers also face specific rules about where they can carry, including in National Park System units, and retired officers must qualify for firearms training annually. If this bill becomes law, these officers would be explicitly allowed to carry concealed firearms in school zones, certain federal buildings open to the public (Facility Security Level I or II), National Park System units, and on public transportation properties. States would also have the option to let retired officers qualify for training every three years instead of every year.
