Retired agents’ service weapons after twenty-five (25) years of service

Any agent of the alcoholic beverage commission who retires after twenty-five (25) years of honorable service shall be issued by the commission a retired commission card, which shall identify the agent, the agent’s department and rank, and the fact that the agent is retired. Cards issued under this provision shall bear the inscription, in print of equal or larger size than the rest of the printing on the card, the words “Not a handgun permit.” After twenty-five (25) years of honorable service as an agent of the commission, the commission shall authorize the agent, upon retirement, to retain the agent’s service weapon, in recognition of the agent’s many years of good and faithful public service.
