Gun rights should cross state lines

[TLE2]

OK, I have a Texas and Oklahoma permit. Which other permit should I get to make it 50 states, less the commie states, of course.

You could get the Utah license which is recognized by 32 states if that'll help.

You'll never get fifty states...the northeast is out for the most part, probly California too unless very limited.

Yaaaaahhhh, not so much.....on paper ya do.....Hawaii will not honor your badge, and good luck in NYC. I know of problems in those two states. For the record I think you guys should be totally exempt, but you would be surprised how many states won't give professional consideration. I know of the two I mentioned for sure....have heard of a recent rift between South Carolina and Florida. Am sure there are others, not worth digging up. The South Carolina/Florida rift originates from LEO's speeding on the I-95 corridor. The Hawaii problem was from LEO's from Hawaii being on the mainland and not receiving professional consideration, so they stopped giving consideration, on Oahu anyway. Times are changing in Hawaii, women that have been raped are filing lawsuits for concealed carry, but the old guard is fighting them. Once the new guard completely takes over it will change quickly. I lived there, have family there, so I keep up on Hawaii.

I've been to NYC as it's across the river for me and they always extend curtesy to me and many of LEO's especially if you go to sporting events.
While I've neem to Hawaii twice I've yet to take my gun there.
There's a difference between professionally curtesy and giving you a hard time about carrying. Many southern states do not give professionally curtesy to their own let alone to our northern brothers, but the issue of carrying has never been an issue.

Besides is a law: They have to honor it.

What the Law Enforcement Safety Act (HR 218) Allows

A qualified active or retired law enforcement officer who has photographic identification issued by their employing agency may carry a concealed firearm transported across state lines.
The Fine Print

Additional Requirement for Retired Officers

Retired officers must also bring state issued documentation that they qualified with the weapon they are carrying within the last 12 months.

Federal Land and Buildings

This law exempts officers from state and local laws concerning concealed carry but not Federal laws. HR 218 does not exempt you on:

Aircraft
Federal buildings
Federal property
National Parks

Private Property, State and Local Government Land and Buildings

The law also grants states the authority to:

Permit private property owners to restrict concealed firearms on their property
Permit state and local governments to restrict concealed firearms on state or local government property.

Under LEOSA, being a retired hired gun, I have to qualify annually. Although it's a federal statute I have heard some stories about officers running into trouble in other states, like New York and New Jersey. In New Jersey Hollow Points are a felony and police officers aren't even allowed to have them (so I'm told). I read in P1 that an officer was arrested in New York when he was napping in a rest area and was carrying. I've never had an issue anywhere I went carrying nationwide, but then I carry concealed and unless one is acting like an a$$hole, who's to know you're packing? I always gave courtesy of the shield when dealing with out of state officers, because like me, I'm sure they've put bad people away who're looking to get revenge.
