As far as the LEOSA, it overrides State law.

Only the portion of law that prohibits carrying a firearm in general, and not the sections that determine where a person can carry. Some states verbage for those restrictions only cover their own on-duty law enforcement, some cover 'any law enforcement officer', some say 'authorized law enforcement' which opens up the debate for what constitutes as 'authorized'.
What's even more funny, is that if an off duty cop is carrying in another state under LEOSA, they can't go into a school because of the federal Gun Free School Zones law. That law specifically says that it doesn't apply to anyone licensed within that state (which opens it up for states that issue licenses to determine their own laws with school carry), but that means someone carrying in the state under LEOSA doesn't have a license within that state and is still bound by GFSZ.
Would anything actually be done about that? Probably not, because it would require a federal officer to arrest and charge.
