The GOP-led House passed a bill on Thursday to allow more law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms across state lines.
The bill received support from 16 House Democrats while 185 opposed it.
The final vote was 221-185.
The LEOSA Reform Act, in it became law, would broaden the “authority for certain law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms across state lines.”
The legislation would also allow “qualified active and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms and ammunition (including magazines) in school zones; in national parks; on state, local, or private property that is open to the public; and in certain federal facilities that are open to the public.”

Nicholas Ballasy has been breaking news for more than a decade in the nation’s capital and questioning political leaders about the most pressing issues facing the nation.
Congress will pass a law to allow Officers to carry concealed weapons across State lines, but as a citizen, I am STILL not allowed to express my 2A Constitutional right to carry a firearm for self-protection in ALL States.
Imagine a State re-instituting “separate but equal”, saying it knows “separate but equal” is unconstitutional, but the State has decided to do it anyway.
