    It's not a fluke hr218 states an agency Id plus a qualification ID the dod just made there own policy I don't work for the army any more if my state issue me a leosa qualification course I have meet the I fall under Maryland law not dod regulations.

    But where is your agency ID that says you are a separated Law Enforcement Officer? That's what HR 218 requires.

    What CJroman posted about the regulations seems accurate.

    This is from the NRA law enforcement division LEOSA regulations.

    http://le.nra.org/leosa.aspx

    "§ 926C. Carrying of concealed firearms by qualified retired law enforcement officers
    (2)(A) a photographic identification issued by the agency from which the individual separated from service as a law enforcement officer that indicates the person as having been employed as a police officer or law enforcement officer;"

    You don't have that, right? You just have some old DOD id. And you did not go through that contracting company to get the proper DOD separated LEO id.

    Nowhere does it say anything about how you came about your card.

    If Maryland doesn't issue leosa credentials to military police how is my mine issued by them? And I have had mine since 2011.
    "Qualified DoD Law Enforcement Officer". I shoot with my old unit in this state as well as a local PD." , leosa agency Id are just that an Id without the Leasa qualification course the card is useless . There for if you live in the geographical region of Maryland and get your qualifications course issued by a Maryland police department you fall under COMAR ; aka MSP doctrine so there hands are in the credential process.

    Where I got mine
    http://www.mdle.net/pdf/LEOSAform.pdf

    You have had your LEOSA since 2011?

    They didn't qualify DOD for LESOA until 2013.
    From the NRA le FAQ page here...http://le.nra.org/leosa/frequently-asked-questions.aspx

    6. I am active duty or retired military/DoD police. Does LEOSA apply to me?Yes. On January 2nd, 2013 LEOSA was amended to specifically allow for active and "retired" (as defined by LEOSA) military and DoD police and law enforcement officers with UCMJ apprehension authority to qualify for the statute; however, a standard CAC or blue retiree card will not work for LEOSA purposes as the photographic ID must identify the individual as either being actively or having once been employed as a police or law enforcement officer of the agency. The DoD's LEOSA policy, DODI 5525.12 (included as a link on our LEOSA homepage) was recently amended to address this issue.

    Just got off the phone with a trooper I know
    Pretty much said it's at the discretion of the state on what is required to issue and maryland doesn't just hand leosa qualification out.

    Dude. I guarantee that Trooper does not know with any authority about LEOSA. Will he testify for you in court? LOL
    As it stands, looks like you do not have an agency ID stating you were previously an LEO and you are not in accordance with the law. Just sayin'.

    Where does it say your Id must state you are a law enforcement officer this form is still in use.

    Dude. The MARYLAND STATE POLICE does not supersede The LEOSA act.

    That form is from 2011, 2 years before DOD was even considered for LEOSA.

    However, on the very bottom of the page 2, it says federal eligibility for 926(c).

    Again. How can you qualify for something 2 years before you were even allowed?

    2 people here showed you how you are not satisfying the requirements under LEOSA. I get it. It's easy to turn a blind eye to it since you already have it.

    Nothing may never happen, but suffice it to say you are dancing with the concealed carry devil. Me? I would look into making myself legal.

    You have a good weekend.

    True. But if the reason you were able to get the wear and carry was because of the LEOSA, then I would think that would be null and void.

    Like I state earlier I got the wear and carry because I was an mp in Maryland at sometime in my carry. Issue permits to police in Maryland all I needed was a letter from my commander

    http://mdsp.maryland.gov/Document D...nforcementOfficersWearandCarryPermitfinal.pdf

    .07 required documentation

    A. Federal Law Enforcement, Active, Former or Retired Maryland Law Enforcement Officer (ALLIED): The applicant is required to submit a copy of his law enforcement agency identification card and a letter from his department stating he separated, retired or are currently employed in “good standing” and that there are no open/unresolved internal investigations.

    B. Department of State Police employees are not required to submit a letter; confirmation from the Department will be obtained by Licensing Division employees.


    C. Eligible federal law enforcement officers will be required to confirm their service/assignment in Maryland. This confirmation may be included in the “letter of good standing” referred to in “A”.

    I was here to help people with getting leosa .
    Not to prove the legality of my permits; which people seem want to jump on the band wagon
    To prove I'm not legal . I can tell you I've beeen doing this for 6 year pretty sure I'm good to go!

    You mean you have coasted by under the radar for the last 6 years.
    2 of us showed you the DOD regulation as far as ID cards go and you still don't see it. Someone dropped the ball because they didn't verify your qualification under 926(c), 2 years before DOD were even qualified.
    Do you even ask yourself "How in the hell could I be approved for something before it was even legal?".
    I can keep going on and on. Hey, maybe I am wrong.
    Who knows. Maybe if you wen't to go about it the right way and get your agency ID through that contractor service, you don't think you would get approved, so you just roll the dice. :)

    Let's hope any cop (Ones you don't do "EP" with) ever ask you for your agency id.

    I've already submitted to dc first off .
    Leosa is federally mandated but each state can enforce there own regulations on the matter
    Ammo,off limit places, and magazine capacity.

    Under leosa Federally you can't have over 10 round magazine or Carry on public school.

    But Maryland protect you under there regulations ,so you can be a visitor to a student of the school if you have you credentials in open view.

    Maryland has no Stance on over 10 round mags being carried. But if you choose to carry over 10 round you are violating leosa federally,but are with in the scope of Maryland laws.

    And as far as 2 year prior I had military cid, counter intelligence,and mp in my class we where the first group of military leosa in maryland .
    There is no federal prohibition on over ten round mags. I think you are confused.

    LEOSA doesn't get you around a States law that prohibits high capacity mags.

    There is nothing in LEOSA stating you can't have over 10 round magazines. You do have to respect any magazine restriction within the state...MD law doesn't restrict possession. I've qualified with two local sheriffs offices and neither have said anything about the fact I was using a G19 with 15 round magazines. I routinely carry same G19 with 15 round magazines in MD. If I know I'm going to DC, NJ, NY or anywhere else with capacity restrictions for use and carry, I go with my Walther PPS (7-8 round).

    The assertion you can carry under LEOSA as a "Retired" officer on MD public school property with credentials in plain view is incorrect. FSA 2013 now restricts this to active LEO, with credentials in view. Any provision for retired/separated carrying in a school under LEOSA was taken out and has been not in COMAR since 2013. Prior to October 1, 2013 carry by "Qualified Retired " LEO under LEOSA was allowed on MD school property...
    http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/frmStatutesText.aspx?article=gcr&section=4-102&ext=html&session=2015RS&tab=subject5
    §4–102.

    (a) This section does not apply to:

    (1) a law enforcement officer in the regular course of the officer’s duty;

    (2) an off–duty law enforcement officer who is a parent, guardian, or visitor of a student attending a school located on the public school property, provided that:

    (i) the officer is displaying the officer’s badge or credential; and

    (ii) the weapon carried or possessed by the officer is concealed;

    (3) a person hired by a county board of education specifically for the purpose of guarding public school property;

    (4) a person engaged in organized shooting activity for educational purposes; or

    (5) a person who, with a written invitation from the school principal, displays or engages in a historical demonstration using a weapon or a replica of a weapon for educational purposes.

    (b) A person may not carry or possess a firearm, knife, or deadly weapon of any kind on public school property.

    (c) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, a person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 3 years or a fine not exceeding $1,000 or both.

    (2) A person who is convicted of carrying or possessing a handgun in violation of this section shall be sentenced under Subtitle 2 of this title.


    There are several advantages to LEOSA...research should be done by each person who uses it to ensure where they may travel they aren't in violation of any state provisions. For example, my son had baseball tournaments this summer in North and South Carolina. With LEOSA under NC law I could still carry in parks and recreation facilities that were marked as "No Firearms Allowed" under NC CCW law, and even carry on school property. However, in SC, even with LEOSA, I had to abide by all posted signs.
