I've been carrying solely on my HR218/LEOSA credentials, i.e., my retired ID and yearly qualification card.
Do you see any negatives to getting a state carry permit in addition? I don't consider fees an issue.
My thoughts are at some point it might be difficult to get re-certified, finding a qualified person to certify me. If I can't find someone else to do it, when my yearly card expires, I can no longer carry.
Other thought was at some point if I get old enough, I may lose the ability to qualify to the high standard for active police officers, even if I'm still fairly competent otherwise.
Negative would be at this point I'm off the radar as to who knows I own or carry a handgun, that would change with a state permit.
Please share your insight and experience.
I've noticed discussion on topics such as this often brings out negative comments from non LEO's, please be High Road.
