Law Enforcement Only Question

[Poohgyrr]

when that person retires the department can let them keep the aw or leave it with the department.

Our info from State DOJ is legally it depends on what features are on the rifle when you buy it. The Department has nothing to say about it, although some management types will definitely say otherwise. Again, this is what they have told us.

If you buy a rifle with enough of the naughty features on it, then in order to keep it (when you retire), you have to prove to State DOJ that you have taken those naughty features off.

If you buy a rifle with less of the naughty items, then you keep it when you retire.

If you move to the right state after retirement, then you keep what you bought. Most States let their citizens (except felons, etc...) buy these firearms.

My LEO AW registration looks no different in the CLETS/DOJ gun records than any of the previous civilian gun registrations. The record pulls up all your DROS'd guns then at the bottom your registrations.

In fact if I recall right the blue card still used for LEO's is the same card previously used for AW registrations.

This is incorrect....When you retire you get to keep your personal property. The AW is registered just like any other assault weapon and in being so registered the possession is not prohibited.

tyrist,

And that is what keeps things so interesting.

I think the bottom line for myself is that I've kept all my paperwork, and have my rifle. I'll deal with retirement when it gets here.

Of all the posts I've seen here, yours sounds the best.

Law enforcement is exempt from the approved list and can get any (non-assault weapon) handgun they want.

Hmm, I thought cops need a department letter stating they need the non roster gun for work.

LEO's don't need a letter for an off-roster gun. The FFL simply uses an exemption code when registering the gun. I have never obtained letterhead for a non-roster gun (pistols).

[asintado]

Do departments ask questions if a LEO requests for more than one letterhead to buy multiple AW or is it just a one time pass thing.

Does this count for 1911 frames?

...and if so, can they then sell them to a family member?

I can't see why not. I can sell any of my off-roster handguns PPT. You just can't have the hi cap mags.

Hypothetically speaking...

If a Deputy Sheriff walked into Ammo Bros and presented his badge, he could have a Glock 17L shipped from an FFL out of state?

I guess the out of state FFL would still need to adhere to the CFLC stuff.
