That won't fly. He lives in PA which means he must qualify for LEOSA in PA. Link Removed.There was an H.R. 218 Class at the Essex County Police Academy the other day which answered your questions. There will be another on 14 April. I also know the Chief at Rahway P.D. Call Chief Rodger and ask if the lawyer who taught at the ECPA (which is also a partner to his City lawyer) will have a class at Rahway for current and retired LEOs.:yu:
I would have him consult an attorney who has been admitted to the federal bar to verify that's legal. I don't think it is.Thx for that update. I must admit that as a current LEO I have not yet focused on the LEOSA details for retirees as much. I do, however, know a retired NJ LEO who lives out of state who does have a HR 218 retired card, but I think he used a relatives address in NJ as a secondary residence.
Nevada has no magazine capacity restrictions. You could legally carry a semi-auto AR-15 or AK-47 pistol with a drums as those meet statutory definition of a handgun per the NRS and LEOSA. I'd be interested to see how you could conceal it though. :laugh:Can you tell me under 218 as a retiree, can I carry my Sig 9mm with 15 rounds in Nevada? Thanks

The only States with magazine capacity restrictions are CA, HI, MA, MD, NJ and NY(C). I do not know if their magazine restriction laws apply to LEOSA qualified retirees. Looking at the laws of those States gives me a bigger headache than the IRS code.
Unfortunately we have no case law on this issue.According to my sources here in PRHI, LEOSA applies to the firearm. The magazine restrictions may still apply. I say "may" because it's a gray area that's contingent mostly on the officer and county where you encounter the local LE. Honolulu county will detain the person in question until credentials can be verified unless the person in question has already applied for and received a permit to carry. In the process of verifying the credentials, the LEO may decide to charge under HRS 134-8.
It appears that this was heard in a MA and not a US Court unless you can provide more information on the case. While that case law may be applied in other States which magazine capacity restrictions I wouldn't bank on it unless it was heard in a US Court.Sheepdog Academy recently supplied the following:
March 2009: Plymouth, MA Police Officer Kevin Coakley was off-duty at home when he was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a personal high-capacity Glock handgun and unlawful discharge in violation of state law. Coakley fired at a coyote in self-defense. After consultation with Steve Mannion, Esq., his counsel argued LEOSA in response to the possession charge. The Court dismissed the possession charge without decision and continued the remaining charges for one year pending good behavior. People of Massachusetts v. Kevin Coakley, (2009).
The only places under LEOSA you need to worry about are;Thanks for the info. Where does Nevada law preclude you from carrying? eg. casinos etc
I have to fumble sometime, mark this day on your calendar folks. It doesn't happen often. I'm not too narcissistic to say it never happens.Yes LEOs may be exempt under Nevada law on school property, but if off-duty they violate the Fed Gun Free School Zone. LEOSA does not protect against that fed law.
Actually New York State has magazine restrictions at 10 rounds, not just the city.The only States with magazine capacity restrictions are CA, HI, MA, MD, NJ and NY(C).
