Re: Federal LEOSA versus the NICS System
California can talk a good game, but I'd like to see an example of anyone prosecuted for violating California law while carrying under LEOSA. They are just like the public entities in Texas who post unenforceable signs. They do it to intimidate and are often successful.Smokey613 wrote:The LEOSA is a good first step but it has too many loopholes that allow states to essentially render it null and void. One example is California. Their AG has stated they do not honor it. I have friend who is a retired LEO wanted to go see his son who was stationed in California and went so far to contact their version of Texas DPS. They told him they do not adhere to the federal LEOSA provisions. Personally, I check the laws of any state I want to visit and if they are not "gun friendly" I mark them off my list. I have 30 years in as an LEO and in the "old days" agencies granted professional courtesy to other out of jurisdiction officers. I am not sure this is still the case even with LEOSA.
I think LEOSA is an unconstitutional exercise of federal power against the states, but while it's the law California still has to follow it just like the other 49 states and DC.
