On-duty status determines LEOSA-eligibility. Thus, as long as the person meets the definition of ''qualified law enforcement officer'' in an on-duty capacity, whether an officer is a full-time, part-time, auxiliary, or reserve peace officer is not relevant in determining whether a person is a ''qualified law enforcement officer'' under LEOSA. LEOSA's definition of ''qualified law enforcement officer'' does not include a requirement that a person have law enforcement authority off-duty.

can an off duty cop carry a gun?
