Introduced by: Danny C. Bowling | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Carrying concealed handguns; law-enforcement officers on long-term leave. Allows a law-enforcement officer on long-term leave due to a service-related injury to carry a concealed handgun without a permit, so long as such officer receives written proof of consultation and favorable review to carry a concealed handgun from the law-enforcement agency that employs the officer. The proof of consultation would only be valid until the officer returns to work or terminates his employment with the agency, unless he retires on disability because of the service-related injury in which case he may retain it.
