Eliminates age restriction for issuing special permits to carry handgun to retired law enforcement officers.

This bill removes an age restriction that currently prevents retired law enforcement officers in New Jersey from obtaining a special permit to carry a handgun. It directly affects retired police officers, sheriffs, and other retired law enforcement personnel who are barred from the permit if they are under a specific age (e.g., 65). The amendment eliminates the age requirement, allowing retired officers to apply for the permit without age limitations while still meeting other standard eligibility criteria like background checks. This change updates the law to align retired officers' eligibility with active officers, who are already exempt from similar restrictions without age barriers.
