FLEOA has recently joined the fight for LEOSA reform with the introduction of H.R. 6105, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) Reform Act

This bill was introduced with the support and technical expertise of the Society of Former Agents of the FBI, Association of Former Agents of the US Secret Service and NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association.
In summary, the bill looks to reform vagaries in the law in six areas:
1. The Federal Gun Free School Zone Act (GFSZA):
Current law does not exempt LEOSA personnel from carrying in so-called gun free school zones. In light of the horrible history of school shooters, it would seem prudent to allow law enforcement officers to be armed in and around schools.
2. The Common Carrier Conflicts:
LEOSA certified law enforcement officers don't have specific authorization to be armed on "common carriers." In light of the targeting of "common carriers" by terrorists and DHS preparedness mandate for emergency response personnel, it would seem an armed law enforcement officer aboard "common carriers" makes sense.
3. The National Park Rules:
Federal regulations prohibit weapon carry in a national park with no caveat for LEOSA certified officers. Since LEOSA is a federal law, it should apply on federal property.
4. Magazine Capacity Limitations:
Some states have instituted magazine capacity limits without proper caveats for law enforcement officers. This presents issues for officers crossing state lines and retiring with their duty weapon. It also contravenes the intent of LEOSA.
5. Qualification Standards:
Different states have different regulations with how retired law enforcement will qualify. This is again an area that states have filled in a LEOSA gap. The standards should be the same across the country and simplified.
6. Private and State Property Otherwise Open to the Public:
LEOSA allows private persons to ban weapon carry on their property and allows states to ban weapon carry on state property. If the purpose of LEOSA was to permit qualified law enforcement offices concealed carry waivers, having "patches" of application and non-application only diminishes the scope of LEOSA.
