Synopsis

From the Congressional Record:

Amends the federal criminal code to: (1) include Amtrak and executive branch police officers as qualified law enforcement officers for state concealed weapons certification purposes; (2) reduce from 15 to 10 years the length of service requirement applicable to retired law enforcement officers seeking state certification to carry concealed weapons; and (3) revise certain other criteria used by states in certifying retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed weapons.

Analysis

Having more people with concealed carry is a benefit to all of society. Unfortunately, this bill seperates law enforcement from regular citizens, which is a bad thing.

A better bill would allow nationwide concealed carry reciprocity for all citizens.
