On July 22, 2004 President George W. Bush signed H.R. 218, the "Law Enforcement Officers' Safety Act," into law. The Act, now Public Law 108-277, went into effect immediately.
The bill exempts qualified active and retired law enforcement officers from local and State prohibitions on the carrying of concealed firearms.
On October 12, 2010 President Barack H. Obama signed S. 1132, the "Law Enforcement Officers' Safety Act," into law. The Act, now Public Law 110-272, went into effect immediately.
The bill to improve the ability of retired officers to comply with the documents required by existing Federal law when carrying a firearm under 18 USC 926C and makes other modifications to existing law.
For active duty Law Enforcement personnel your current badge and ID will be sufficient to prove your exemption. Many retired and separated Law Enforcement officers do not have an issued badge upon retirement. Due the training that most Law Enforcement Officers receive, they are uncomfortable with carrying a firearm without a proper badge to be quickly identified by responding Law Enforcement officers should the need ever arise.
