This question has to do with the federal law usually called HR-218, which sets out standards for retired LEOs who want to carry concealed firearms nationwide.
One requirement of the act is that the retiree meet the firearms qualification standard for active duty LEOs in the state where he resides.
My question is: IS there a state wide firearms qualfication standard in California for active duty LEOs?
Note that this would be different from the POST standard for certification which is, technically, a standard that CIVILIAN APPLICANTS have to meet BEFORE BEING HIRED as LEOs.
Also, this can't be a standard that varies from agency to agency; it would have to be a state-mandated, state-wide standard for ALL ACTIVE DUTY LEOs.
Is there such a standard?
Thanks for your response.
