Retired and Carrying of Firearm

[Simply Shane]

I did a quick search but didn't turn up anything, unless I am not searching the right terms.

I know as an officer, unless prohibited or restricted by your departments policy, you are normally allowed to carry a firearm off duty. My question is once you retire, do you still have the ability to carry off duty without a concealed carry permit or would you need a concealed carry permit, or does it depend on state law?

Thanks in advance for your reply's

LEOSA (Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act) permits both active and honorably retired officers to carry nationwide, with a few exceptions.
