Journal:Training now available for retired law enforcement officers

Jeanne-Pierre R. Plante, NRA Certified Firearms Instructor
Retired police officers and peace officers struggle to carry a firearm after they retire. The departments will not qualify them and there are few individuals that qualify as firearm instructors for recertification. The law passed by G. W. Bush, H.R. 218, also know n as the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, in 2004 enabling officers to carry across state lines. This included retired officers but with no means to qualify with their weapon they lost their ability to carry and conceal.  Jeanne-Pierre R. Plante, NRA instructor with current credentials is also offering basic steps in pistol orientation, basic pistol shooting, and basic personal protection in the home.

This carry on your badge retires with the individual.. If they have a permit they can carry concealed and anywhere the rest of us can
