Do you have a source for this? The only exemption I see in the text of the GFSZA is for "individuals licensed by their state", aka LTC holders in Texas.WildRose wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 12:28 amLEO's are exempt as are retired LEO's.Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 4:18 pm I think we can safely assume that LEO's are usually armed even when they are off duty. So unless Texas LEO's all have their LTC's then they violate the FGFSZA whenever they drop their kids off at school or even drive through a school zone on their way to work. Is anyone aware of a LEO being charged under the FGFSZA?
Under GFSZA active LEO's are exempt when acting in concert with official duties, I was wrong about the LEOSA exemption which doesn't apply on school premises. The purpose of the LEOSA was to ensure such off duty and retired LEO's could carry nationwide but somehow they left out the school exemption. Typical of congress.Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 1:26 pmDo you have a source for this?

(vi) by a law enforcement officer acting in his or her official capacity
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun-Free_ ... ExceptionsThe Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), intended to allow qualified law enforcement officers the ability to carry guns nationwide, does not provide any exceptions to Federal Law per 18 U.S.C. § 926B. GFSZA does not make any exception for an off-duty qualified officer.[8][14][16][16]
If that is correct, I'd say that's incredibly thoughtful of Utah to set up the rules that way.NNT wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:14 pmThe way I remember it when I was looking at Utah non-resident... if your home state was shall issue, you had to have that first.

But since I have now moved, I believe I can still carry in Texas with my Utah CCW, but when it comes time to renew...Utah won't renew it unless I have my Texas CHL. Am I assuming correctly?
I did not need my CA CCW to obtain a non resident Utah CCW. The main reason is Utah CCW was not honored in CA, it was primarily used so Californians can carry when traveling to nearby states.
