Do you get to keep the badge for that just in case moment next time we go for a ride? You know I only went as fast as you pushed me.
Don't retirees keep their badge? Along with being able to apply for national carry rights?

I get a retired badge, and @KayTwo you are correct as long as I comply with the requirements of LEOSA then yes, Federal Law preempts State Law for concealed carry. All this talk of retirement, let me just say this. I'm 50 years old, its a career change, I can still fit in another retirement somewhere, just not carrying a badge. Right at 30 years of carrying the badge and gun, it is time. Law enforcement is a young persons game. It does free up some time, holidays, weekends etc. No more shift work, no more on call, no more wondering what the last guy I hired is doing on midnight shift.
I wrote three letters today for my desk drawer for the next Chief for times of crisis. The first simply says... Blame me, your predecessor for everything that is wrong, while the second says: Take full responsibility for your actions, stand up for what is right. The third simply says... write three letters.
This like my military time has marked me for life. I will miss the comradery of the department, but I will not miss the local politics. (until I join them)... stay tuned. See you in Kerrville and Maggie Valley. Stay Safe!
Congrats on your retirement.
So glad we got to meet up at SSITR last year. Have to see if our roads cross again in the future.
Congratulations on your retirement sir!
Congratulations @'Texas T'
Congratulations sir! Two things come to mind: aspire to inspire and retire before you expire. Sounds like you nailed 'em both!
