This Qualification is for Retired Law Enforcement Officers, who had arrest powers, are retired and in good standing with their agency. As such they are allowed to carry a concealed weapon in all 50 states (except in places where this is specifically prohibited, such as Federal Buildings).
HR 218 “The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act,”was signed into law on July 22, 2004.
As a result, an individual who qualifies under LEOSA does not require a state-issued permit for carrying a concealed firearm in any state, including that person's home state.

Spartan International will supply all the targets, the use of the range, instructors and range safety officers. Participants should plan accordingly and bring ample ammunition and shoot the qualification(s).

- Present a valid retirement Photo Police ID from the agency that they retired from
- Supply their own firearm and ammunition to qualify
