federal law enforcement officer as defined in subdivision twenty-five of
section  265.00  of this article, with respect to large capacity ammuni-
tion feeding devices issued to such officer or purchased by such officer
in the course of his or her official duties and owned by such officer at
the time of his or her retirement or comparable  replacements  for  such
devices,  if:  (i)  the  agency that employed the officer qualified such
officer in the use of the weapon which accepts such device in accordance
with applicable state or federal standards for active duty law  enforce-
ment  officers  within twelve months prior to his or her retirement; and
(ii) such retired officer meets, at his or her own expense, such  appli-
cable  standards  for such weapon at least once within three years after
his or her retirement date and at least once every three years thereaft-
er, provided, however, that any such  qualified  officer  who  has  been
retired for eighteen months or more on the effective date of this subdi-
vision shall have eighteen months from such effective date to qualify in
the use of the weapon which accepts such large capacity ammunition feed-
ing  device  according  to  the provisions of this subdivision, notwith-
standing that such officer did not qualify within three years after  his
or  her  retirement date, provided that such officer is otherwise quali-
fied and maintains compliance with the provisions of  this  subdivision.
FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVISION, A COMPARABLE REPLACEMENT SHALL INCLUDE
A LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICE THAT IS CAPABLE OF HOLDING UP
