Retired LEO

[mcookriverside]

Retired LEO looking to buy Glock 43x for a reasonable price. Ive watched the pp handgun sales and they are outrageously overpriced.

What does being a retired leo have to do with you buying a handgun?

retired LEO's are not roster exempt. he wats to buy one at normal price so he is hoping to find a active LEO willing to sell without a ridiculous markup.

If anyone is in contact with a California LEO nearing retirement, tell them to buy their off-roster handguns now. It'll be too late on retirement day when one's I.D. card is exchanged for the retired LEO I.D. card.

It's just another thing to do and won't be a topic mentioned by the Federal, state, city, or county's HR retirement seminar/conference.

The above is very good advice.

But also remember that most "problematic" laws have legal "work-arounds." I've been retired for ten years now, and can still lawfully purchase off-roster handguns and can do so without the 10-day waiting period, and without need of a departmental letter.

Tell them why Rick

Tell them why Rick

If I share the secret, and too many folks may do the same, I'm sure that the legislature would put a stop to it.

But I did use the term "work arounds" in the plural.

One option to retire from active service with a pension, and then accept an unpaid reserve position with PC 830.1 appointment. You'll still need to keep up with POST training requirements, and provide whatever service your agency requires. The added benefit of this route is that you can lateral, or reinstate, if you find the retired life isn't right for you.

That would be called “no life.”

I'm with Rick. Retired in 2011. Level 1 reserve until 2018. Got it completely out of my system. LOL

My retired LEO opinion, buy a Glock 19 Gen 3.

I'm with TPT on this. Plan accordingly and buy before pulling the pin. Once retired, enjoy what you've acquired, and realize, "You can't take it with you."

Sometimes, you really DO have to draw the line and accept you've got enough stuff. There will ALWAYS be new, interesting developments, but at some point, so what?

If you've got a kid working LE (God knows why?) you've always got the family transfer option too.

TRUTH! Very Well said!
