True or False: Federal law allows qualified retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms across state lines.

A. True
B. False
C. Only if they are on duty
D. Only in certain states

The correct answer is: A. True

The statement is true because federal law does indeed allow qualified retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms across state lines. This provision is established under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), which was enacted to enable retired officers to maintain their ability to carry firearms, recognizing their previous service and training. To qualify under this law, retired officers must meet specific criteria, including having completed at least 15 years of service, being retired in good standing, and successfully qualifying with a firearm within the last year. This federal law preempts state laws that may otherwise restrict the concealed carry rights of these retired officers, enabling them to carry firearms for personal protection regardless of their state of residency or travel. Understanding this provision is important for those in the private investigation field, as it highlights the intersection of law enforcement privileges and the rights of retired officers in relation to firearms, which can be relevant in certain investigative scenarios.
