Howdy to the camp,
I admit to having my head in the sand since I retired in 1998. I know basically about HR218 allowing current and retired peace officers to carry nationwide, but that's about it. As a retired CA peace officer, I have CCW priv. in CA. Haven't left the state much, so HR 218 hasn't been an issue.
Now I am moving to IL and will be traveling much more. I got some paperwork from Illinois retired peace officer Assn (or something like that) to send in.
Can someone give me the basics: do you have to qualify in home state, do you have to have insurance, what are exceptions to permit to carry, any other applicable info, etc.
Thanks in advance.
As I have been teachinbg the last 4 years, academics aren't really very second amendment friendly, so it has not been a daily topic!
