Re: LEOSA
I agree with the others, the 218 is really only going to matter in a place like NJ/NYC/etc, and they will bust balls if everything is not letter perfect.
You may still beat it in court, but it will be a hell of a ride.
Probably better to get the annual paperwork.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Re: LEOSA
The retired badge and ID doesn’t cover you under LEOSA. Under LEOSA, you have to qualify once a year and have the documentation proving the qualification.
I do LEOSA certifications here in NEPA, and we are given a card that we must sign and show the qualification date and date for requalification. The sheriff then has to sign it too. This card and the retired photo ID must be carried to be covered under LEOSA.
If you travel outside PA without them, you might not get jammed up, but I wouldn’t take that chance. You won’t beat the rap in court if you don’t have them as without being covered by LEOSA, you are not allowed to carry in states that don’t accept PA LTCF.
I qualified a guy just as the corona virus hit. He was not able to take his card to the sheriff to get signed because they shut down the office. I don’t know if he got it now.

Re: LEOSA
A lawyer licensed in Pa and NJ at a law shield talk told the story of leosa in NJ where everything was in order but the retired cop still spent part of that day in a cell. They gave the lawyer a hard time and threatened to lock him up also but it was just bravado. I think the lawyer had higher up connections and a phone call got them out of there.

Re: LEOSA
This is not required under the federal law. I understand that this is how PA has decided to regulate the qualifications. To be federally compliant all you need is your retired ID and "proof" of qualification. It does not state in what form this "proof" must be displayed and it certainly doesn't require any Sheriff's signatures. The FOP and the FLEOA just filed a lawsuit in New Jersey for adding additional requirements that are not mandated in the LEOSA federal law. https://www.fleoa.org/Downloads/FLEO...it_Presser.pdf

Re: LEOSA
Yep, some states have decided to add "their two cents" to the equation. I have flown back to my old agency in WA state and have qualified with them. In addition to my retired I.D. card, they give me a card that states that I have qualified on such and such date and that it is good for a period of 1 year. In WA, you shoot the qual with a semi auto and can carry any semi auto. You qualify with a revolver and you can carry any revolver. You shoot both and can carry both...

Re: LEOSA
Most of the states have fucked up the 2nd amendment and even their own constitutions regarding guns, so of course they have fucked with and fucked up LEOSA.
LEOSA needs to be updated to address the magazine max capacities laws. The hollow point problem with NJ has been fixed. The mag capacity has not.
There is nothing in LEOSA that says you have to qualify with what your carry (semi-auto v revolver) but PA instructors will require it as a CYA in case it comes up. Think about it. A revolver can be of various configurations (DA, SA), semi-auto DA, SA, hammer fired, striker fired, mag safety, no mag safety. You can carry anything in the gun bin you never trained with no matter what they try to control.There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: LEOSA
You are wrong on the retired requirements. It's not required for active duty officers, but retired officers are required to have documentation that shows they qualified within 12 months. The sheriff's signature, indicating the person passed a background check is not required by LEOSA, but it's the way PA runs the qualifications.
§ 926C. Carrying of concealed firearms by qualified retired law enforcement officers
(d) The identification required by this subsection is--
(1) a photographic identification issued by the agency from which the individual separated from service as a law enforcement officer that identifies the person as having been employed as a police officer or law enforcement officer and indicates that the individual has, not less recently than one year before the date the individual is carrying the concealed firearm, been tested or otherwise found by the agency to meet the active duty standards for qualification in firearms training as established by the agency to carry a firearm of the same type as the concealed firearm; or
(2)(A) a photographic identification issued by the agency from which the individual separated from service as a law enforcement officer that indicates the person as having been employed as a police officer or law enforcement officer; and
(B) a certification issued by the State in which the individual resides or by a certified firearms instructor that is qualified to conduct a firearms qualification test for active duty officers within that State that indicates that the individual has, not less than 1 year before the date the individual is carrying the concealed firearm, been tested or otherwise found by the State or a certified firearms instructor that is qualified to conduct a firearms qualification test for active duty officers within that State to have met--
(I) the active duty standards for qualification in firearms training, as established by the State, to carry a firearm of the same type as the concealed firearm; or
(II) if the State has not established such standards, standards set by any law enforcement agency within that State to carry a firearm of the same type as the concealed firearm.Last edited by Steve in PA; May 18th, 2020 at 02:16 AM.

Re: LEOSA
PA is the same way. If a person wants to carry a semi-auto and a revolver, according to MPOETC (run by PSP), I must have them qualify with both handguns.
Additionally, I have a letter from MPOETC stating that if the controls on the handgun are different, Sig vs Glock, then I must qualify the person with both handguns if they want to carry one or the other. If the person will only carry a Glock, then he can qualify with one Glock, but carry any other Glock (different size or caliber) that he wants.
