Default Fed LEO hand gun purchase limit

Are Fed LEOs exempt from the one handgun per 30 day limit? I’ve had turners tell me there is no limit for both state and fed and then the glockstore tell me one per month. Can someone clarify?

To break it down for people, PC27535(a) is the 1 handgun DROS every 30-day rule, which starting July 1, 2021, will become 1 semiautomatic centerfire rifle or 1 handgun DROS every 30 days.

Under PC27535(b)(5), a peace officer as defined under Californian law, is not subject to the 1-per-30-day rule.

Under Californian law, specifically PC830.8, federal law enforcement still have certain powers as officers in California but are not considered peace officers. So federal law enforcement are still subject to 1-per-30-days.

Under SB 61.

This is the section that allows Federal Officers to purchase more than one in 30 days.

There is another code section that allows Federal Agencies and its personnel to purchase. Your agency must be primarly Law Enforcement.
First, there is a difference between an organization buying multiple handguns and an individual buying multiple handguns. If any member of a law enforcement agency as stated in (a)(2) or (a)(3) is exempt from 1-in-30, then there is no reason to specifically write out (a)(5) for individual peace officers.

As for off-roster purchases, again organizations are different from individuals. Individual officers can buy off-roster because of the sentence, "This section does not prohibit the sale to, or purchase by, sworn members of these agencies of a handgun." But non-sworn employees of law enforcement offices such as a clerical worker in a District Attorney's office or a Sheriff's office cannot buy off-roster.

Second, did you read SB61? Did you see the changes that SB61 made to PC27535? I see nothing in SB61 or in the official bill analyses for SB61 that mention officers of federal agencies in regards to 1-in-30. What I do see is general prohibition for people under 21 to purchase firearms but a a carveout for "An active federal officer or law enforcement agent who is authorized to carry a firearm in the course and scope of employment" who is between age 18 and age 21 being allowed to purchase firearms.

PC27535, as amended by SB1494 from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, said:

(a) No person shall make an application to purchase more than one handgun within any 30-day period.
(b) Subdivision (a) shall not apply to any of the following:
(1) Any law enforcement agency.
(2) Any agency duly authorized to perform law enforcement duties.
(3) Any state or local correctional facility.
(4) Any private security company licensed to do business in California.
(5) Any person who is properly identified as a full-time paid peace officer, as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2, and who is authorized to, and does carry a firearm during the course and scope of employment as a peace officer.
(6) Any motion picture, television, or video production company or entertainment or theatrical company whose production by its nature involves the use of a firearm.
(7) Any person who may, pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 27600), Article 3 (commencing with Section 27650), or Article 4 (commencing with Section 27700), claim an exemption from the waiting period set forth in Section 27540.
(8) Any transaction conducted through a licensed firearms dealer pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 28050).
(9) Any person who is licensed as a collector pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto, and has a current certificate of eligibility issued by the Department of Justice pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 26700) of Chapter 2.
(10) The exchange of a handgun where the dealer purchased that firearm from the person seeking the exchange within the 30-day period immediately preceding the date of exchange or replacement.
(11) The replacement of a handgun when the person's handgun was lost or stolen, and the person reported that firearm lost or stolen pursuant to Section 25250 prior to the completion of the application to purchase the replacement handgun.
(12) The return of any handgun to its owner.
(13) A community college that is certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to present the law enforcement academy basic course or other commission-certified law enforcement training.
Penal Code section 27535, as amended by SB61 (2019), as it currently reads, and how it is from January 1, 2020 to July 1, 2021 says:
(a) No person shall make an application to purchase more than one handgun within any 30-day period.
(b) Subdivision (a) shall not apply to any of the following:
(1) Any law enforcement agency.
(2) Any agency duly authorized to perform law enforcement duties.
(3) Any state or local correctional facility.

(6) Any motion picture, television, or video production company or entertainment or theatrical company whose production by its nature involves the use of a firearm.
(7) Any person who may, pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 27600), Article 3 (commencing with Section 27650), or Article 4 (commencing with Section 27700), claim an exemption from the waiting period set forth in Section 27540.
(8) Any transaction conducted through a licensed firearms dealer pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 28050).
(9) Any person who is licensed as a collector pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto, and has a current certificate of eligibility issued by the Department of Justice pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 26700) of Chapter 2.

(c) This section shall remain in effect only until July 1, 2021, and as of that date is repealed.
PC27535, as amended by SB61 (2019), will say as of July 1, 2021:
(a) A person shall not make an application to purchase more than one handgun or semiautomatic centerfire rifle within any 30-day period. This subdivision does not authorize a person to make an application to purchase both a handgun and semiautomatic centerfire rifle within the same 30-day period.
(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to any of the following:
(1) Any law enforcement agency.
(2) Any agency duly authorized to perform law enforcement duties.
(3) Any state or local correctional facility.

Let's put it this way.

I don't and have never needed more than one firearm in less than 30 days. If you do, have your department Chief, Sheriff, etc. write an exemption for you on a department letterhead. All the the LGS I've shopped at allowed me to "buy" more than one firearm at a time and we just DROS'ed one every 30 days. It's pretty simple, really.

The law is mostly for shops and FFLs. One shop interprets it one way and the other interprets it another. It's confusing as you can tell. There are other requirements like buying ammo and magazines from online retailers. I forget the exact verbiage, but it requires a LEO to show they are a full-time peace officer with a signature from the Chief, Sheriff, etc. Many online retailers want a department letterhead. Well, my department ID has all of that and that should suffice. Some retailers believe it suffices and others do not. Pretty simple.

I know Im going out on a limb here, but it would just make sense that Fed LEOs are exempt from 1 in 30. Fed LEOs are already exempt from the roster, standard-cap restrictions, and the 10 day wait (with agency-head letter).

However, I think we can all concede that the statue is not clear at all regarding exempting Fed LEOs. Perhaps the Fed LEO exemptions are the CA DOJ management unofficial "interpretation" of the statue....aka statues were poorly written, we are not going after any Feds or FFLs for this, and its not worth the trouble to pass new legislation to update the statues.

Procedural note: once a bill has passed and been 'chaptered', do not refer to the bill language for current law.

Refer only to the sections published at http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml - those will have incorporated the effects of subsequent bills and propositions.

On the topic, see https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/exemptpo for everything except the 1-in-30. Granting that those AG/Firearms pages are often incomplete or out of date, the omission of mention of Federal LE from the 1-in-30 suggests the plain language of 27535, which also omits mention of Federal LE from 1-in-30, is likely correct.

There may be DOJ rulings transmitted to CA FFLs, to which I have no access, that say something different.

Deputy U.S. Marshals are. They are the only Fed agency that makes arrests. All others make apprehensions, there is a difference.

So what is the difference between an arrest and an apprehension? I assume we’re talking outside of military justice?

As I already referenced earlier, Penal Code section 830.8 says:
Federal criminal investigators and law enforcement officers are not California peace officers, but may exercise the powers of arrest of a peace officer in any of the following circumstances:

(1) Any circumstances specified in Section 836 of this code or Section 5150 of the Welfare and Institutions Code for violations of state or local laws.

(2) When these investigators and law enforcement officers are engaged in the enforcement of federal criminal laws and exercise the arrest powers only incidental to the performance of these duties.

(3) When requested by a California law enforcement agency to be involved in a joint task force or criminal investigation.

(4) When probable cause exists to believe that a public offense that involves immediate danger to persons or property has just occurred or is being committed.

Like esy pointed out. If you absolutely need to purchase more than 1 in 30 days, just get your chief or whoever to write an exemption on agency letterhead. Or you can just draft it yourself and just have them sign it.

Federal Marshals ARE NOT California Peace Officers.

Peace officer designation is controlled by the state and no state statute provides peace officer designation to United States Marshals or their deputies.

U.S. Marshals and their deputies do possess the same powers of arrest as the does the Sheriff of the county in which they are operating (refer to 28 USC 564) but that does not empower them as peace officers of the state.

Please note that 28 USC 564 is kinda moot in California because because Penal Code section 830.8 also provides the same powers with the addition of detention authority under WIC 5150.

As a side note, please explain what you think is the difference between an "arrest" and an "apprehension" (with the corresponding statutory references). Methinks that you don't really know what you're talking about, but I'd like to hear your explanation and to see what you base it on.

For debate purposes, Im going to take a guess as to what gumby means.

Im guessing he means USMS are the only Fed LEO who can "arrest" and book directly into county for state crimes.

Im guessing he believes all other Fed LEOs can only "apprehend" for state crimes they witness but must turn over the suspect (and supplemental report) to a CA LEO to be "arrested" and booked into county.



Not sure what any of this has to do with the original post about 1 in 30 for Fed LEOs LOL. But in an attempt to stay on topic, I asked my preferred FFL this exact question. He confidently stated that it doesnt apply to Feds and would get listed as LEO exempt on DROS. This FFL has been in business for a long time and Im sure has been through many audits with CA DOJ. Pretty sure he wouldn't risk his business just to hook up some Feds.

We really need to hear from "Gumby" as to what he meant by his statement, but he seems to have gone missing from this thread.

But your conclusion above is not correct either. Federal LEO's, regardless of whether they they are Deputy U.S. Marshals, FBI agents, DEA agents, or any other alphabet agency also have the authority to make arrests under California law (refer to PC 830.8 for the source of that authority) and may deliver persons so arrested to a booking facility. There is nothing unique about the Marshal's service in that regard.

Just my guess as to what he meant. Not really my conclusion. I agree with you but was just trying to make sense of the statement. He made a similar one in another thread and was called out, but again, he never returned to clarify.

Okay, so even though I CAN buy more than one handgun at a time, should I? I've been told there is an extra step for the FFL doing DROs flagging the purchase and bringing attention that the purchase of more than 1 handgun occurred. Does that have any negative effect for the purchaser, like put me on "list" somewhere? Or does it not matter at all?

If you want more than one firearm at a time, can buy more than one firearm at a time, and a shop will sell you more than one firearm at a time. Do it. You don't need a bunch of people on the internet to tell you what you want to do with your life.

When I bought my duty rifle, I didn't have a letter waiving my 10-day wait period, but the shop let me take it same day. Whatever. That's on them.

I assume this is a reference to the ATF requirement of the FFL filing a Form 3310.4 for the purchase of multiple handguns, or the Form 3310.12 for the purchase of multiple rifles in a border state, such as California. It’s just additional paperwork on the part of the FFL. It does not cause an approval or a denial with the current transaction or an approval or denial for future transactions. Lots of people have done it and weren’t even aware that the FFL has filed it, because it doesn’t really cause anything, though supposedly, supposedly, people have said they got follow up calls from ATF, but I don’t place much faith in such anecdotal reports.
