  • Defines "qualified retired law enforcement officer" as one who separated in good standing after serving 10+ years (or after service-connected disability), meets current firearms training standards at their own expense, and is not prohibited by federal law from possessing firearms.

  • Exempts qualified officers from state and local firearm restrictions except those on private property or government buildings; does not grant law enforcement powers to retired officers beyond what they already hold.
