Feenstra Votes to Extend Concealed Carry for Law Enforcement Officers Beyond Retirement

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Reform Act.

This legislation would allow qualified police and law enforcement officers to retain their concealed carry privileges even after retirement.

“When police and law enforcement officers retire, they should not lose their right to concealed carry. These privileges help keep our families and communities safe by allowing qualified and trained law enforcement professionals to respond to violent crimes and other threats,” said Rep. Feenstra. “It’s why I voted to preserve concealed carry for police and law enforcement beyond retirement. These men and women are heroes who can continue to protect our communities, and our laws should help them promote public safety and wellbeing.”
