Biggest agency near me has reserve/unpaid, they can't carry on LEOSA outside the county

Ahh...

Thats a big restriction

Maybe I'll start harassing officers when I go back in about it.

I dont see why military service shouldnt get to use it.

MPs, CID etc can use it

Especially if you require E5 and a combat badge

Basically anyone with arrest authority

Im pretty sure MPs normally dont get it

That's Israeli carry law in a nutshell, NCOs and up can carry as civilians

At least Ive never met a MP with one

MPs are covered by LEOSA

And coast guard boarding officers

It just makes sense. My literal job description was to train soldier to close with and destroy enemies of the United States in close combat and to lead them in said combat.

Has to do with their authority to enforce federal laws/UCMJ

How I cant be trusted with a firearm is beyond me

I might have more experience with guns than some small departments

I get its partially for laws and and that.

It wasn't written with the intent of MPs...who are the least competent in my experience

But to me it would seem that its also giving more freedom to those who excerise higher responsibilities than an average person.

MPs can be hit and miss. But thats the same everywhere

I think it's only fair that servicemen who carry pistols should qualify for it too

But that's not how it's written unfortunately so I suggest people affiliate with a local dept

Ill look into that or harassing leadership for a MSA or something

If I remember right, you're from Texas? Anywhere near Travis County?

Arizona sadly

Well not sadly ConCar is awesome

I would have to go through the academy I think to qualify

I know y'all's counties are big as fuck

Understatement

Maricopa is retarded huge

Depends on where. In Georgia you go through the full 11 week program. Florida, no, and it's usually like 2-3 nights a week

Other states I'm sure have abbreviated or part time academies since reserve usually have a full time job

Its definitely an avenue I overlooked

Dunno if they're close to you

It's fun anyway, aside from the leosa benefit

All Arizona goes through the same school

We is super cops

Pretty sure there was a one star in the Florida Guard a few years back who was also a reserve deputy somewhere near Orlando

Every cop can arrest in every jurisdiction
