Selling Off Roster

[Chewy65]

I am not a LEO and forgive me if this is all old news, but I sort of recall that a few officers were burn a few years ago for selling off roster pistols to non-LEOs. They were charged with being unlicensed firearms dealers if they had more than a few sales. This past week a US Ditrict Court judge found the ATF ruling on which Califronia was acting was unsonctitutional. See this article. I am not sayhing that anyone should sell off roster firearms and you should be aware of rules and retgulations withing your agencies. Also that is a West Texas Dsitrict Judge. Just saying.

Not illegal to sell your off-roster pistol via PPT. Some officers were selling multiple pistols in a manner that appeared to be acting as a dealer. Two different issues.

They were using the unwritten rule that if you sold more than 5 pistols a year you were considered an unlicensed dealer. It was pretty arbitrary of a number.

And they were selling firearms that they themselves had not purchased yet. At least that’s what I remember
