For North Carolina Retired Law Enforcement:
If you have received or renewed your NCCCW under H. R. 218 in the last few months, you have noticed in the first paragraph an emphasis on the word "not" as it relates to the issuance of your certification card. H. R. 218 is clear in that you must have in your possession the issued certification card and a form of identification from your retiring law enforcement agency. The certification card is notice that you have successfully completed the classroom and range requirements only. It is "not" a recognized form of ID needed to comply with H. R. 218. No big deal--carry both.

The Northwest North Carolina Retired Law Enforcement Group set a record in January as they had 37 retirees to participate in their monthly meeting. They have grown from the original 5 to now having a large number of retirees enjoying luncheons and sharing many experiences along the way. One of their highlights is the Christmas meeting where they get together with family. They welcome all retirees and would love for you to join them at any future luncheon. If you would like to join this group and have a monthly meeting schedule, contact Buddy Haas at pappyhaas@msn.com for further information. They will be in Wilkesboro in February. I have attended several of their luncheons and can attest to great food and a lively discussion. This is what being retired is all about.
