Well, congress did just pass HR 2243, "LESOA Reform Act," that grants police special nationwide concealed carry freedoms that are still being denied to law-abiding Americans.
At any rate, my question is if it's good for cops, why is it not good enough for law-abiding citizens??
That wasn’t really a new thing, it just was year another revision and took out a lot of minutiae.
Disclaimer I am just explaining the way it has went down through the years not shoulda would coulda we all know Congress doesn’t care.
That said I wish national reprosity was law of the land as I do take advantage of LEOSA in my travels .
I’ve been involved since LEOSA was originally a thing there was a 2010 revision that specified if Hollow Points are legal I. The persons resident state them they couldn’t be charged and added some other verbiage. And lowered the years eligible to get it from 15-10 years of covered employment.
Then in 2013 another revision that an added the phrase “powers of detain” with the Statutory Powers of Arrest this was to include the civilian DOD as well as Military Police members of all branches.
The 2013 revision also required identification to state “LEO or etc” as some Federal Agencies credentials had not said specifically “LEO” on it.
The new bill actually had wording that exempts any mag capacity restriction like the 2010 revision addressed the JHP for places like New Jersey.
Here is the side effect that I have seen and been briefed by DOJ attorneys when I would decertify at FLETC. In the early years there was a few folks wrongly himmed up as a lot of states and individual officers were on their own time. It started to get cleanup but the revisions were needed in 2010 because apparently the Hollow Point restrictions were more of an issue than mag capacity was, however since nothing specifically addressed mag capacity the 2025 revision is suppose to address that.
My point for being that all up is not to trigger anyone just to say it’s been iver 20 years (it started in 2004 became law in 2005) and they still have issues with states and municipalities that still do not abide by it so in 20 years we are on revision 4 of LEOSA
So from experience if they passed a civilian national Carry bill today there will be 20 years of tweaking it because well for being a bunch of lawyers Congress is dumb!
But getting even a small bill passed is better than nothing.
