LEOSA is a federal law that applies only to officers traveling outside their jurisdiction. The states are not done testing LEOSA, either. They have arrested cops for violating state laws.
The state laws are needed to allow resident LEOs to carry under state law, and they predate LEOSA by decades.
One of the elements of the definition a LEO in LEOSA is that he is authorized by his agency to carry a weapon, so we still need state laws.

Re: Off Duty LEO and 51%
Look at PC 46.15(1).
If you read further in that section, you will see that judges and district attorneys. They are now required to have a CHL, but that is only to identify them as such.
PC 46.035 applies only to CHL holders who do not carry under some other authority. I am referring, for example, to LEOs who also have a CHL.
