Retired State & Federal LEO's

[nuparadigm]

I've always been curious about this difference in Texas law. I'm in the retired Federal community, but the way the law is written it seems to discriminate against the retired Texas Peace Officer:

Sec. 6.16 (c) (1) states that a Texas Peace Officer must submit his/her application for a CHL "upon retirement".

Sec. 6.16 (d) states that a retired Federal LEO may submit submit the application "at any time after retirement".

Do any of the Forum members know why this discrimination was written into the law? If I were a retired Texas LEO, I'd take this as a slap in the face.

Probably written at different times by different people. Really makes no diff.

Besides, we all know those Feds are mush more sensitive than Texas LEOs.

Yeah, we tend to be in touch with our feelings ... much more so after all the "diversity" training ... and even much more so after some of us are imprisoned for simply acting within the scope of our statutory authority.
