Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) expressed his support for H.R. 354, the Law Enforcement Officer Safety (LEOSA) Reform Act, on the House floor. This legislation aims to expand carrying privileges for qualified law enforcement personnel, extend law enforcement carrying rights in certain federal facilities, and standardize regulations by exempting LEOSA-certified officers from state magazine capacity limits.

In his remarks on the House floor, Congressman Moore explained: "The Law Enforcement Officer Safety (LEOSA) Reform Act allows qualified active or retired law enforcement officers to carry a concealed firearm in national parks, school zones, public transportation, and some federal facilities that are open to the public. LEOSA was initially signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2004 to exempt certain active and retired law enforcement officers from being barred from carrying a concealed firearm. In order to qualify, officers have to meet certain requirements."
