Here's some info that some of you retired cops may or may not know about in regards to CCW. I've been retired 6 years, my Dept gave me my retirement I.D. card w/ CCW rights good for 5 yrs. Then I had to shoot and qualify to get it renewed for CCW...but this time only for 1 yr.....have to re-qualify every year now. So just to cover my bases (and my butt) I also got a State of Utah CCW card which is good in 34 states.
Now the info.... The 107th Congress introduced the "Community Protection act of 2001".... the House of Representives (H.R. Bill 218) ..... "To ammend title 18, United States Code, to exempt qualified current and former law enforcement officers from state laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed handguns" ........
There are some regulations, restrictions, and provisions regarding this bill, if you retired on a "psycho" or "rubber gun squad" then you're S.O.L. I printed out the 3 pages of info and carry it in my truck.....just in case, even though I have the other CCW permits. So if you don't know about it just google ....H.R. Bill 218 and read for yourself.........Dave
