    If you all read the amendment closely, you would see. That the Leo has to be one that is part of a federal task force. To be part of a federal task force also makes you a federal officer.

    those guys get TWO paychecks. One from the state and a federal one.

    There aren’t to many of them.

    Second the bill is sitting in House State Affairs, where it looks like it will die in committee.

    Also keep in mind, that the house can add an amendment that effectively could remove the Senates amendment as well.

    Sadly, the bill will probably not make it to the end in time. The whole purpose of adding the amendment was to kill it.

    So who added the amendment, find that out and you find out who needs to be removed from office.

    Sadly, I am slowly lacking the badwidth to continue following all the politics. I know they maneuver and play chess to make things they want to happen come to fruition, but to me, it’s all games with our freedoms. Not okay either way. Between laws, lawyers, and judges, I have no idea how anything will ever get done timely and make a difference for the constituencies. Continually being told to write my congress reps is wearin’ me thin....

    Yep, most local LEOs on a JTF are federally deputized.

    Folks should know Game Wardens are also federally deputized, thus allowing them to enforce on federal land/lakes and or federal Game laws.

    The law enforcement community took an oath to defend the constitution. Not to support an unconstitutional law. As a LE officer for 38 years, I can honestly say I have yet to speak with one officer willing to break his oath.

    the gotcha is it is not unconstitutional until SCOTUS says so.

    As are those that enforce commercial vehicle law and iirc, boating enforcement. However I do not think because these have authority to cite for some federal violations that would give them authority like some one on a Joint Task Force where they literally have two ID's/badges.

    most jtfs are set up administratively. Acting on rules established not by congress but by what some lawyer or bureaucrats interpreted the law to be

    You don't know anyone who has arrested someone for UCW?

    Things will continue to get worse until we stand up for our God given rights. Addressing it at the local level is key. Since it is challenging to do it top down, let’s do it bottom up.
