This announcement marks a notable moment for law enforcement officers as it aims to reform existing regulations.

In another update on May 15, 2025, Bacon extended congratulations to the "43rd Electronic Combat Squadron 'Bats'" for achieving a milestone in their training missions. He tweeted: "Congrats to the 43rd Electronic Combat Squadron “Bats” on flying the first EA-37B training mission!

This reflects his commitment to strengthening national defense capabilities.

Later that day, Rep. Bacon highlighted further details about the LEOSA Reform Act with another tweet: "'The LEOSA Reform Act would extend qualified law enforcement officers' concealed carry privileges beyond the current law.'
