HB 1205 Concealed weapons; carrying by certain law-enforcement officers.
Introduced by: Benjamin L. Cline | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Concealed handgun permits. Exempts retired officers of the law-enforcement division of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission from concealed weapons requirements. The bill also exempts certain retired law-enforcement officers who have reached the age of 55, other than officers terminated for cause, from the requirements. The bill provides that an order denying the issuance of a concealed handgun permit must state the basis for the denial and advise the applicant as to his right to and requirements for perfecting an appeal of the order. A law-enforcement officer with the U.S. Marshals Service would not have to pay a fee for a concealed handgun permit. For purposes of reciprocity, the official government-issued law-enforcement identification card issued to an active-duty law-enforcement officer in the Commonwealth who is exempt from obtaining a concealed handgun permit shall serve as the officer's concealed handgun permit. Finally, the bill sets forth a definition of a "law-enforcement officer" to be used throughout § 18.2-308 that includes individuals defined as a law-enforcement officer in § 9.1-101, including full-time law-enforcement officers employed by a law-enforcement agency of the United States or a political subdivision who perform similar duties to those set forth in § 9.1-101; campus police officers; law-enforcement agents of the United States Armed Forces; and federal agents authorized to carry weapons.
