Leo's and AW

[savageevo]

Are Leo's held accountalble to AW laws too? If a leo has a few AW and never registered are they held responsible to the same laws regular civilians have or are they automatically exept because they are Leo's? thanks all:)

The laws apply to everyone, unless there is a law enforcement restriction. You should spend a little time and read the laws for yourself. You can start here.

You will find out that LEOs are exempt from

1. Large capacity magazine ban
2. Safe handgun list
3. Concealed carry laws

You will find out LEOs are not exempt from
1. AW ban
2. Machine gun and short barreled laws.

Now this is all the letter of the law. Will a cop bust another cop for having an illegal assault weapon? Probably not.

No, LEs are not exempt from AW laws. They might be lucky enough to have the department authorize them to purchase their own for duty use, which, maybe, they will be issued upon retirement, but it's nothing that can be counted on.

Yes on Assault Weapons Laws...I have a maglock like everybody else.
