Bill overview
This bill amends federal law to allow certain qualified law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms in school zones to protect children. Specifically, it expands the definition of ‘qualified law enforcement officer’ and ‘qualified retired law enforcement officer’ to include those authorized to carry concealed firearms under existing regulations. These officers would be permitted to carry and discharge a firearm in these zones. The bill aims to provide a deterrent against potential threats to children’s safety within schools.
