LE Only Weapons

[davek8s]

several other sig models are on the roster, so not sure what you mean.

are you saying no new models have been added for over 5 years?

that sucks.

Its not a matter of being law enforcement. Its a matter of the California roster of allowable handguns. LEO's are exempt from the roster and can buy any handgun they like. The rest of us are stuck choosing from a narrow and dated list of handguns. The only way to acquire an off roster handgun is to purchase one for a private party. You'll pay a big premium for this.

So I know the deal with LE exemption, stupid.
What was the rationale, reasons given to exempt them?
There's a hell of a lot of people out here with way more experience and training with firearms than a lot of LEOs. Is training the rationale given or, what?

Looks like POST training

It has nothing to do with experience or training, an everything to do with having a political lobby in Sacramento. When the state was pushing the roster through, the LEO union/lobby sold us out to get their exemption. The cowboy action shooters did the same thing with the 10 round magazine cap.

So then the question would be how much of POST deals specifically with subject matter and training, that is directly applicable to this secret skill set that makes off roster guns safe for them, and unsafe for us.

Right, but any idea on what grounds, pay off? Seriously though, any idea on how it was rationalized?

The LEO union/lobby cut a deal with the state lobbyists. The LEO lobby agreed to support the roster politically in exchange for their exemption from it.

So nothing else to it, just that. Despicable

14 Amendment violation, plain and simple. Please notice there isn't any mention of "super immunities or carve outs for law enforcement".

Guess you would have to include those who get off roster pistols from relatives in your tirade...

Who lobbied for the exemption which allows out of state relatives to transfer off roster hand guns to their CA state resident relatives?

LOL

[wannabefree]

How about an exeption for Calgunners or CCW holders

Seems only fair to me we must be as large a class as LEO's and we are well trained too.

Yes officer, of course you are correct.

LOL..That would be "retired Officer".. Who. By the way are not roster exempt.

If the cops had all the power over politicians that some here think they do, then why aren't retired LEO'S also roster exempt?
