Re: Reserve Peace Officer Licensing?
Bypassing the background check is huge for me. I have a very common name that I share with many others. One of those others shares not only my first name, middle initial, and last name but also my birth date. Did I mention he is a felon?nightmare69 wrote:Other than bypassing the background checks when buying firearms is there any other advantage of keeping my CHL current?

So, even if I were a commissioned officer I would still keep my CHL.
BTW, since getting my CHL I no longer get calls from the FBI wanting to know if I ever had a NJ DL.

I plan on keeping it current. It's only 25 bucks to renew if I remember correctly, I can afford 5 bucks a year.
