LE selling their Off Roster HG

[magtf388]

Have heard several news reports that ATF and DOJ are cracking down on lawn force meant officers selling their use of roster guns. Has anybody heard any updates or information about recent crackdowns ?

"Lawn force" LOL

So assuming you mean law enforcement officers, and not lawn force, I'm not sure why atf would give a rat's hind end, about someone selling used firearms, I'm sure that happens every single day. I also don't know what Ca law would be in question selling off roster guns, since as far as I know that is perfectly legal. In fact I just bought an off roster Colt last month.

I will say this and only this. I commented in a thread with similar information. Please understand that I/we will not provide much more. Yes the ATF will prosecute officers who are operating as an ffl or making straw purchases for "off roster" firearms. They sent an admonishment sometime within the recent past. Outside of that you need to contact the ATF about further information

I've heard through the grapevine that it's becoming a big deal and that they're trying to close the loophole.

My gardener can do what ever he wants. I don't call him my lawn force tho.

If ATF is concerned about people selling off roster guns at a profit, they had better never look at the marketplace here. That would be a target rich environment.

P5Ret.. not really a target rich environment.. remember there is the California Off Roster Premium Index.. also don't forget in the waning days of SSE2 that a lot of guns were horded in the event of emergency monies and sales..

shouldn't it be illegal for LEO to sell unsafe handguns?

Define "unsafe" handgun?

[TrailerparkTrash]

Define "unsafe" handgun?

"Any handgun not approved on the CA DOJ Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale."

[Rogue187]

So you mean the Extortion list?

No more so than anyone else who wants to sell an off roster or as you say "unsafe" handgun. Never mind that there are probably more off roster handguns in private hands then there are on roster guns.
