Under LEOSA, what documentation is required to carry nationwide?

• A. Photo ID from agency only
• B. Documentation of recent firearms qualification only
• C. Neither document is required
• D. Both a photo ID from the agency and documentation of recent firearms qualification

Answer: (D)

LEOSA allows qualified officers to carry across state lines, but you must be able to prove two things at the point of carry: your status as a law enforcement officer with official photo identification from your agency, and evidence that you have completed a firearms qualifications course within the preceding 12 months. Both pieces are required because one proves you’re authorized to carry (the status), and the other proves you’re currently trained and capable with a handgun (the qualification). Having only one of these elements doesn’t establish full eligibility under LEOSA.
