LEO Bullet Button Exemption

[Zombie13]

Hello all,

My dad works for the Federal Bureau of Prisons and after 20+ years is just now developing an interest in firearms.

He currently only owns a Sig p226 and a Remington 870(I bought for him). He wants to get into AR building but does not like the bullet button.

I have not been able to find out if there are any exemptions that may apply to my dad and ask for help.

Please let me know where I can find exemptions to the ridiculous laws that may apply to those employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Thank you

Only if it's a duty weapon, all of CA gun laws apply to him as a civilian outside of work, i'm not 100% sure but someone will chime in shortly.

If its for use as a duty weapon no. If its not used for duty but just a personal rifle then yes BB needed if going with evil features.

The above two posts are correct.

It's important to know just exactly what he and you are asking for.

The 'bullet button' is not a legal requirement.

NOT having an 'assault weapon', however, is a requirement of California law.

One way to avoid having an 'assault weapon' yet keep things ('features') like folding or collapsible stock, pistol grip, flash hider is to have a centerfire semi-automatic rifle that cannot accept a 'detachable magazine'.

The 'bullet button' or other magazine locking device changes the weapon itself so it "cannot accept a 'detachable magazine'".

Please note that the ability to "accept a 'detachable magazine'" relies on a special legal definition. See the wiki article -- http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/No...able_magazines
