Abstract: Requires the head of the office or agency from which a qualified law
enforcement officer has retired in good standing to issue identification to the officer
for purposes of carrying a concealed firearm.
Present law provides that an individual who is retired from service as a qualified law
enforcement officer and who was commissioned by the agency or office from which he
retired and is carrying the identification required by his office as a retired law enforcement
officer, may carry a concealed firearm anywhere in the state, including any place open to the
public.
Present law provides that the retired law enforcement officer shall have identification which
proves he is a retired law enforcement officer.
Proposed law retains present law and requires the head of the office or agency from which
the individual has retired to issue identification required by the provisions of present law to
each qualified law enforcement officer that retires in good standing from the office or
agency.
