Frequently Asked Questions
Do I receive a LEOSA qualification card after I qualify?
Yes. Upon successfully completing the firearms qualification, you will receive a firearms qualification certification documenting the date and type of firearm for which you qualified.
Is this the same as the TCOLE Retired Firearms Identification Card?
No. The qualification certification issued by Front Sight Firearms & LTC Training is not a TCOLE-issued identification card. Federal LEOSA, 18 U.S.C. §926C(d)(2), provides for a qualified retired law enforcement officer to carry the required photographic identification from their former agency together with qualifying firearms certification.
Do I have to obtain the TCOLE Retired Firearms Identification Card?
TCOLE offers a separate application process for eligible retired federal and out-of-state officers who want a TCOLE-issued Retired Firearms Identification Card. Customers who prefer that credential may apply separately through TCOLE after completing the applicable firearms proficiency requirements.
What do I need to carry under LEOSA?
For the §926C(d)(2) method, LEOSA requires photographic identification issued by the agency from which you separated identifying you as having been employed as a law enforcement officer, together with the applicable firearms qualification certification. The qualification must be current within the preceding 12 months and cover the same type of firearm being carried.
Does completing the qualification guarantee that I am eligible to carry under LEOSA?
No. The firearms qualification documents firearms proficiency; it does not independently establish LEOSA eligibility. Each individual is responsible for meeting all requirements of 18 U.S.C. §926C and complying with applicable restrictions.
What if I prefer the TCOLE-issued Retired Firearms Identification Card?
If you prefer the TCOLE-issued Retired Firearms Identification Card, download and print the current TCOLE application packet and bring the required firearms proficiency certification form to your qualification. After you successfully qualify, I can complete the applicable instructor certification portion. You are responsible for completing and submitting the remaining application requirements directly to TCOLE.
