The “Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act of 2004” (“LEOSA”, “HR 218” or the “Right to Carry” law) was intended to allow active and qualified retired law enforcement officers (“LEO”) to carry concealed weapons nationwide without having to obtain permits from each individual state or locality.
Due to many recent significant changes in individual State laws, specifically relating to magazine capacity, an amendment to LEOSA is again needed. Amend LEOSA to allow active and qualified retired LEO the right to carry any standard capacity ammunition magazine without restriction(s) to the number of rounds per magazine as may be limited by individual State laws not otherwise banned by Federal law.
The amendment will prevent prosecutions of qualified retired LEO legally carrying a weapon under LEOSA
