    Yes, if they are qualified/certifed under LEOSA. The retired officer must get a photographic ID from their former department and then qualify on a course of fire. They then must carry the photo ID along with the documentation that they have qualified on the course of fire. Just being a retired officer does NOT grant your LEOSA coverage.

    LEOSA was originally signed in 2004.

    In 2010, LEOSA was amended to include ammunition (hollow points) not banned by NFA.

    In 2013, it was amended again to add military and civilian LEO's employed by the government to LEOSA coverage.

    There is no permitting process to own firearms in Jersey.

    There is if you want to own a handgun as you need a permit for each and every one which entails a full background check by the police and state police evertime filling out the same paperwork you do when you get your FID card for long guns. The only difference is you check hand gun box and you can request up to 6 permits now due to the one gun a month law. Each permit is good for 90 days and can be extended once if I remember correctly. I have a entire filecabinet full of them if you would like to see.

    Yes, they are covered. The arrest of a PA Constable in NY was one of the first challenges to LEOSA.

    Yes after they have completed required training and their range training.. PA Constables are covered by LEOSA but to carry out of state they need the firearms training card. Or so I have been instructed


    Also local laws concerning Mag limits and Ammo still apply!! Just being covered under LEOSA does not make it legal when stopped in NJ with a 20 round mag full of hollow points.
