Lt,
I'm assuming that you know that you don't have to take the CHL Course and can apply under special conditions as a TX LEO.
Basically, you submit a letter from your LEO Agency and a $25 fee.

Yessir...just a consent form to use my existing records and the $25.

I got mine in the first batch of licenses Florida issued, back in 1987.
Had been carrying a revolver with me daily though, since about 1960. I'm to the point where I feel nekkid without one on my hip, or in my pocket.

Not sure why exactly. The only thing it does for a Texas Peace Officer is afford you to buy a gun without a background check. I'm thinking it's kinda a pre-retirement crisis or something. Start with a .22 revolver and work your way up to a .38 Special with target wadcutters. You don't want to develop a flinch.

you don't need any permit to carry concealed or open in arizona. But it's still good to have a ccw to carry in other states. And it beats the snot out of the ncis or other check system on buying a gun. That 4473 stays with the dealer.

Let's you carry out of state. I am not up on LEO rules, but it used to be you could not carry in another state without a CC permit. It also lets you carry if you get 'suspended' for some reason. Yeah...LEO's can carry in any State, and we've already done everything a CHL holder has done and much more. I just like the thought of being human. Pat, you are talking about having one of those HR 218 licenses?

At least it's cheaper than boats. I grew up on the Sacramento Delta where we learned early on that a good friend owned a boat.

I've had mine for several years. It helps when traveling, and I try to be careful about what states I drive through, or land in. I also enjoy not dealing with a back round check when I buy a gun. There it is. Plus its just a comfort to be able to have the fuggin' thing on you when you want.

On purchasing a firearm from a ffl, you fill out the 4473 which is kept with the dealer. If you have a ccw, they make a copy of it, but they do not have to call it in. If you do not have a ccw, they call it in, but it just determines if you are a prohibited person or not. They don't provide the type of weapon or serial number when calling it in.

Actually, as pointed out by Cheyenne, it does more than that as far as Federal law is concerned. It is a violation of Federal Law (the Gun Free School Zone Act) to possess a firearm within 1000 feet of a school on public property without a State Issued Permit. LEO are exempt only if acting in his/her "Official" capacity. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/922LEOSA Does Not Exempt in school zones. http://www.bluesheepdog.com/leosa-school-grounds/
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
