I was in a SoCal shop today and saw an Sergeant pick up a Noveske! This is good news as I believe LEO's who are familiar with these shops are familiar with the law!

Should have talked to him

There are many LEOs with OLLs.
Hell, the Aug 2006 regulatory hearing in Sacto was staffed with some CHP officers (probably for 'protection' against apparently 'unruly' gunowners) who managed to draw specific duty due to their interest in OLLs.
Unfortunately a significant fraction of LEOs buying OLLs appear to be configuring their personal guns as AWs - without dept. letter, without DOJ registration. One FFL witnessed MMGs or BBs being removed in parking lot and replaced with AW configuration and dropped into patrol car trunk.

I have sold hundreds to LEO's. When I first started selling OLL's and people were on the "are they legal" fence LEO's buying them was about 60+% of my customers.
I guess they figured they would have more flexibility than most people.
LBPD, SDSD, OCSD, SAPD,CMPD, FVPD, LAPD, LASD, .....Come to think of it I can't think of any local department who I hav't sold OLL's.
Just depends on the officer.Comment

South San Francisco PD has at least 2 cops who are OLL owners, and one is a Calgunner I believe, the other is my sister's boyfriend.Fleeing the PRK on 3/8/09!!Comment

they still bust us for having OLLs, maybe the staff at these shops should educate them because they probably think they're the only ones who could buy OLLs.Comment

so these department letters that are issued to leos... they are only for duty use?
how does an leo get a letter saying they can have a registered assault weapon for duty and personal use (like i believe i remember iggy's letter saying)
here's the letter, it's from his lea. so once he stops working for the doj, does this paper expire?Last edited by trinydex; 11-21-2008, 3:41 PM.Comment

nearly two years ago at Bright Spot Pawn, I counted at least three LEO's DROSing or picking up OLLs.Comment

Some agencies provide AW's for work purposes, and wont write letters. So practice is hard since the dept. doesnt provide very much. Some LEO's are buying the OLL's to train with. 10 rnds at a time isnt very good, but better than nothing, or very little.Originally posted by bohokiOriginally posted by Soldier415Comment

I assume they are a lot more relaxed about legal config than non-LEOs. It seems impossible that a LEO would be prosecuted for a non-legal config, unless he was involved in some other serious crimes. There are enough cases of LEOs getting away with non-legal full-auto configurations. I personally encountered a California LEO with his FA gun in Nevada, without having done the 5320.20. I believe non-Federal LEOs have to do the 5320 just like everyone else. He mentioned that he thought it was required but he hadn't bothered to do it."Weakness is provocative."
