Cool.... Thank you.


If I understand this correctly, I should have a letter for a department issued AR as well correct?

man CA weapon laws are such BS it is rediculous.

and it's also ridiculous that my department does not issue letters for officers to purchase their own AR's. Not even our SWAT and CIRT team members can get their own. All must use department issued.

Did they get letters to keep in there possession or do you turn in to the armory after shift?

I don't think our guys have to keep any documentation for he dept gun because they are owned by the county and they are 'borrowing' them.

[Sicmaro]

Ya, if they are dept. owned you do not need a letter. If you want to own it personally in your name then you need the letter. Stupid how they let us have them at work but 2 seconds after my shift ends it a felony to have my own..........

Nope. They are take home rifles.


These law really are way too ambiguous and don't make any sense.

I agree...


I have access to a full swat armory with pretty much anything you need to start a war. But I am somehow irresponsible when I go home. Strange indeed.

Neither does ours. But this will change come 2010

[18sam2011]

Yeah, there are rumors going around that our dept. is going to start issuing letters too but I find it hard to believe that they are going to let any swingin' d*ck deputy (jail deputies included) go out and buy an AR.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for it. I believe the more LEO's with access to long guns during a riot or SHTF situation would be a lot more effective than just having our handguns.

[Unit74]

Well, since OCSD is choppin bodies from the payroll, if they can get the Deps to buy their own equip, I don't see why they wouldn't let them do it....

Purely fiscal aspect of it makes sense for the county.
