New Jersey A2872 requires retired law enforcement officers to qualify in the use of a firearm annually.

New Jersey A2872 amends existing law to require retired law enforcement officers to qualify in the use of a firearm annually instead of semi-annually. The bill specifies that these officers must submit an application to the Superintendent of State Police for approval to carry a handgun. Upon approval, they will receive an identification card valid for one year, which must be carried while the officer is armed.
