I'm retired from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and qualify under LEOSA to carry concealed. I am a resident of Texas, and I have taken and qualified in the shooting requirements in accordance with the Federal Law. Texas requires me to submit background information, fingerprints, and undergo NCIC just as if I were applying for a CHL. There is nothing in the Federal Law Enforcement Officer's Safety Act the requires anything other than shooting a qualification course every year, which I have done.
My question to anyone who can point me in the right direction is this: If I am qualified under the Federal law, is there any requirement to go through the machinations to satisfy the state of Texas? Thank you for your time and attention, Mark |

Quoted:
I think he's talking about the state id card that is optional. Pretty sure it's only optional if you have a retired ID card from his agency. If the FBOP issued him an ID with the required photo an info he doesn't need one from Texas. OP if you need an ID you can fill out the form on this link titled "Retired Federal Firearms ID card." The $35 it costs may save you some headache from someone who isn't familiar with LEOSA. |
