Get a letter from your department authorizing purchase of AW and buy your own rifle.

[NORCAL#1]

You can legally run standard capacity magazine in your featureless rifle

[ugimports]

Buy a complete lower with standard magazine release
Buy a complete upper
Assemble out of state
Disassemble before coming back

[9mmrevolver]

You said off duty you use a department issue gun? If it’s department issued why is it featureless?

[ldsnet]

I have 2 lowers. One configured featureless with a 5.56 upper. The 2nd has a dedicated .22 rimfire upper with standard mag release, pistol grip and stock. When I get out of state to shoot, I swap uppers.

That way, the only thing missing is a flash hider (instead of the thread protector that usually resides on the end of my barrels.

Some people registered their AW, and so, they just take their AW to the range. Some people bought during freedom week, so, they just take their 30 round mags to the range. If you didn't, well, that's what friends are for. You can shoot theirs, assuming you are not a convicted felon and such. If you go this route, do ensure you know all the relevant laws, for RAW/BBRAW you want to ensure you and they are up on all the little details if you go this route. 33660 B is your friend for example. Do note, without an exemption to 30605, 30605 would not be your friend for example. This isn't the only one you have to be careful about.

People don't give a chit about your setup at intermediate/advanced classes.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. When I’m on duty I use a dept gun that is featureless. When I’m off duty I fall under AW laws like everyone else. My dept won’t issue me a letter to buy my own AW. I figured I could just keep my AR in two pieces until I’m in a free state then assemble it, train, unassemble it, drive home.

I guess what I’m looking for is a reputable place to go. Thanks for all the replies.

Wait. Your duty rifle is featureless?! Whats your patrol rifle, a mini 14?

For me, I will use a .22LR AR to train with, or with a featureless or registered BB AW the best I can. Or borrow a dept rifle if I can.

This is confusing.

Are you a full time sworn 830.1 peace officer?

[ARFrog]

The OP is asking where he might train out of state. How about:

- Front Sight

- Gunsite



Edit - thanks for the change to Senior Member with this post. I now feel so old and mature

In your situation, I would build/buy a featureless gun with a thorsden stock or grip fin. Sure it will be a little different, but the manual of arms is still the same.

You can buy and own 30 round mags, so do that too.

No incrimination required.

Look around for other departments that offer rifle courses. If your department approves the training, then I'm sure you can check out a gun or use one from the agency providing the training.

Having been in a similar situation, speak to and get approval from your supervisor/range supervisor (or whoever is in charge) to borrow a dept. rifle. After all, most pro-police officer departments encourage officers to get training above and beyond "qualifications"/skill builders.

Most folks at training or competitions will not care or investigate a sworn officers carbine/rifle during said event.
