Bill Summary
This bill permits retired law enforcement officers to carry a handgun in this State without a permit. Under current law, a retired LEO is required to obtain a permit in order to carry a handgun. In order to be qualified to obtain the permit, a retired LEO is required to: (1) meet certain conditions of employment prior to retirement; (2) qualify semi-annually in the use of a handgun; and (3) be under the age of 75. If a retired LEO meets the qualifications, the retired LEO is required to submit an application to the Superintendent of State Police for a permit to carry a handgun and to submit a renewal application annually thereafter. This bill preserves the qualifications to carry a handgun, but provides that a qualified retired LEO would no longer need to apply to the superintendent for a permit.
AI Summary
This bill permits fully qualified retired law enforcement officers to carry a handgun in New Jersey without a permit. Under current law, retired law enforcement officers must obtain a permit to carry a handgun, which requires them to meet certain conditions and renew the permit annually. This bill eliminates the permit requirement for qualified retired officers, while preserving the underlying qualifications to carry a handgun.
