LEAA Supports Right To Carry (RTC)

The Law Enforcement Alliance of America (LEAA) has supported right to carry efforts across the country for over a decade.  LEAA leaders and law enforcement officer members have testified in state capitols in favor of common sense measures that trust citizens with the right to self-defense. Our member officers know that bad guys carry guns regardless of the law and right to carry laws serve only to offer law-abiding citizens an improved opportunity for self-defense.

In this section you will find press releases from previous efforts on behalf of right to carry as well as LEAA’s “Right to Carry Palm Card,” which contains a collection of quotes from law enforcement leaders who have learned that right to carry is a part of common sense public safety.

Be sure to read some of LEAA's most recent press releases in the fight to protect RTC!
