Congress finds that--
(1) the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004 (Public

officers, including certain correctional officers of the Bureau
of Prisons, the right to carry a concealed firearm in all 50
States for self-protection;
(2) the purpose of that Act is to allow certain law
enforcement officers to protect themselves while off duty;
(3) correctional officers of the Bureau of Prisons have
been the targets of assaults and murders while off duty; and
(4) while that Act allows certain law enforcement officers
to protect themselves off duty, the Director of the Bureau of
Prisons allows correctional officers of the Bureau of Prisons
to securely store personal firearms at only 31 Federal penal
and correctional institutions while at work.
SEC. 3. SECURE FIREARMS STORAGE.

amended by adding at the end the following:

``(a) Definitions.--In this section--
``(1) the term `employee' means a qualified law enforcement
officer employed by the Bureau of Prisons; and
