Hello. I am a retired LEO (Arson Investigator). As I read H.R. 218, the “Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act” and S. 1132, the “Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Improvements Act” it is my understanding that a retired LEO can carry concealed without having to have a state issued CHL, PROVIDING that he/she has a certificate of proficiency issued by either the former agency OR a firearms instructor who is certified in police firearms instruction. Can any of you instructors confirm this? Also, are there any certified instructors around? It might just be easier (but more costly) just to go ahead and get a CHL. Thanks
