Seriously?!? You just had to post this the day after I bought some Pmags locally?
I'll be sure to pass this along to my partner that was looking for some. Thank you, and I'll come to you first next time.Comment

Your agency doesn't need to have a rifle program in place. Your CLEO or local office supervisor (for state or federal agencies) just has to sign that letter authorizing you to possess it for work purposes.If your employing law enforcement agency head (Police Chief, Sheriff etc.) has a rifle program in place and they issue out Department letterheads authorizing individual officer purchase of an assault rifle, you can then get it registered with CA DOJ. You don't need a bullet button mag release. When used for work purposes it will be a regular rifle with regular magazine release, flash suppressor etc. After the weapon is DROS'd from an assault weapons dealer, you will get a extra registration form that the officer has to complete and send back to DOJ within a certain time frame.
Yes, it says for work purposes on the letterhead, but the strict reading of the code does not mandate a rifle program per se. Your rifle program can be as simple as "Don't shoot nobody with it that don't deserve a killing."
Of course, it would be dumb to not have at least a policy in place for personally owned rifles before you sign that letter... but I have seen and heard of a few officers who bought the Individual Officer rifles who do not use it for work because they put so much crap on it that it's way too expensive to ding up in the field.I like guns

Keep in mind the recently published Attorney General opinion relative to cops and registered assault weapons.

I was just talking to a LEO acquaintance about this very subject, and he didn't know the answer. So, if he DOESN'T have a personal bought-department use AR-15 (in other words, regular civilian CA purchase), can he, as an active duty LEO, have 20-30 round mags? Is a CA bullet button needed?
Also, he knows he can have any mag for his duty weapon, but what about a personal handgun?
Thanks
PS - he is going to be pissed about the new reading about retired AW possession.

Yes, he can legally purchase large capacity magazines - he's exempt because he's a CA LEO.So, if he DOESN'T have a personal bought-department use AR-15 (in other words, regular civilian CA purchase), can he, as an active duty LEO, have 20-30 round mags? Is a CA bullet button needed?

BUT - since the rifle is not a LEO-registered Assault Weapon - there are no exemptions for the AW rules. So, if the rifle has 'evil features' it must have a Bullet Button (or similar mag-locking device)
At this point he either has a 'featureless' rifle or a 'mag-locked' rifle.
IF featureless - its legal to use large-cap mags.
IF mag-locked - attachment of a large-cap mag creates an unregistered/illegal Assault Weapon.
A CA LEO is exempt from the purchase/importation restrictions on large-cap mags. Therefore he can buy any large-cap mag he wants for his personal handgun/s.Comment
