U.S. Representative Randy Feenstra has cast his vote in favor of the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Reform Act, a bill that has successfully passed in the U.S. House of Representatives. This legislation aims to extend concealed carry privileges for police and law enforcement officers beyond their retirement.

Rep. Feenstra emphasized the importance of this measure, stating, "When police and law enforcement officers retire, they should not lose their right to concealed carry. These privileges help keep our families and communities safe by allowing qualified and trained law enforcement professionals to respond to violent crimes and other threats."

Feenstra further elaborated on his support for the act: "It’s why I voted to preserve concealed carry for police and law enforcement beyond retirement. These men and women are heroes who can continue to protect our communities, and our laws should help them promote public safety and wellbeing."

The passing of this act marks a significant step towards maintaining public safety by enabling retired officers to continue carrying firearms as part of their duty to protect society.
