About the CCW Safe HR218 Plan

Requirements

The CCW Safe HR218 Plan was developed specifically for active, retired and former law enforcement officers who meet the requirements for the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), also known as HR218.

Active and retired law enforcement officers qualify for HR218. According to the wording of HR218, the Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act, signed into law by President George W. Bush on July 22, 2004, a “qualified retired law enforcement officer” is defined as an individual who:

  • Has separated from service in good standing with a government agency as a law enforcement officer for an aggregate of ten (10) years or more or separated from such an agency due to a service-connected disability after completing any applicable probationary period of such service.
  • Was authorized by law to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or the incarceration of any person for any violation of law.
  • Had statutory powers of arrest or apprehension under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
  • Is not under the influence of alcohol or another intoxicating or hallucinatory drug or substance; and is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing a firearm.

In addition to carrying the photographic identification issued by the agency for which they were employed or were separated, the qualified retired law enforcement officer must also carry documentation which certifies that they have met, within the most recent twelve-month period, the active duty law enforcement standards for qualification for a firearm of the same type as the one they intend to carry.

The following occupations DO NOT qualify for this plan: EMTs, Firefighters, Emergency workers that are not LE, Correction Officers (that are not under LEOSA), Security guards, Paid or Volunteer Security officers, Bond Agents, Body Guards, Firearms Instructors, or any other person that does not fall under the definition of “Qualified law enforcement officer” through federal LEOSA guidelines.

About

The HR218 Plan covers any criminal, civil or administrative legal action stemming from a self-defense incident occurring while OFF-DUTY. Security or other secondary jobs are not protected under this plan.

A self-defense incident is any incident where force is used pursuant to a reasonable belief that use of deadly force is necessary to protect from imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. This includes any necessary force with ALL legal weapons and physical force to defend against a life-threatening attack in self-defense.

The HR218 Plan is an annual membership with coverage for one year.

This is a recurring subscription membership, with only the option to pay yearly.

A plastic membership card, and a challenge coin are supplied to first-time members only at no additional cost and will be sent by USPS and may take up to 3 weeks for delivery, however, membership status can be printed and or immediately downloaded digitally to smartphones upon plan purchase.

This plan is non-transferrable.

Bond Coverage

The Primary member will be covered up to the level of  $1 Million bond for all recognized use of force responses to life-threatening attacks (all weapons covered) when there is admissible evidence of a self defense claim (including locations applicable under HR218 or where permits are honored). The primary member and spouse are covered in all states except NJ, NY and WA.  See our Terms of Service for additional information.

The spouse and all children under the age of 18 years old who reside at the residence of the Primary member and who are not prohibited from possessing a firearm, will be covered, at no additional cost, to the level of a $250K bond for all recognized use of force responses to life-threatening attacks occurring INSIDE THE RESIDENCE ONLY, in all states except NJ, NY, and WA.
