More information on the Law Enforcement Safety Act:

HR 218 is a federal law, officially known as the "Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act" (LEOSA), which was enacted in 2004. It allows qualified active and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms across state lines, even in jurisdictions where they may not have otherwise been permitted to do so.

Under the law, qualified law enforcement officers (QLEOs) and qualified retired law enforcement officers (QRLEOs) are exempt from state and local laws that would otherwise prohibit carrying concealed firearms. The law defines a QLEO as an employee of a government agency who is authorized by law to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, or prosecution of, or the incarceration of any person for, any violation of law, and has statutory powers of arrest. A QRLEO is a retired QLEO who meets certain criteria, including having retired in good standing, having served for at least 10 years as a QLEO, and having met certain firearms training requirements.

It is important to note that while HR 218 allows QLEOs and QRLEOs to carry concealed firearms across state lines, it does not protect them from state and local firearms laws. They are still subject to the same laws and regulations that apply to ordinary citizens in the states and jurisdictions where they carry firearms.

To take advantage of the benefits of HR 218, QLEOs and QRLEOs must carry their official identification and meet any firearms training requirements set by their employing agency or state. They must also comply with any additional requirements imposed by the states and jurisdictions where they are carrying their firearms.

Overall, HR 218 is designed to provide a measure of safety and protection to qualified law enforcement officers, allowing them to carry concealed firearms across state lines to protect themselves and others better.
