Bill > S2993

This bill establishes rules for current and retired federal prosecutors and federal judges to carry concealed firearms, amending existing law to provide clear guidelines for who qualifies and under what conditions. Specifically, the bill defines "qualified prosecutors" and "qualified Federal judges" as full-time employees who are licensed to practice law, meet certain professional standards, are not under disciplinary action, are not impaired by drugs or alcohol, and are not legally prohibited from possessing firearms. To carry a concealed firearm, these individuals must have photographic identification from their agency and a certification demonstrating firearms training qualification, either from their agency or from a state-certified firearms instructor. The bill also establishes similar provisions for retired prosecutors and judges, requiring them to have maintained firearms training within the past year and meet additional mental health and professional conduct standards. The legislation explicitly excludes certain types of firearms from coverage, such as machine guns, silencers, and destructive devices, and allows the Attorney General and the Director of the Administrative Office of United States Courts to create additional regulations to implement these changes.
