LEO Exempt from 30 day law?

[raitheslacker]

Are LEO's exempt from the CA one pistol every thirty days law? Reason I ask is because I purchased a Springfield XDS about 2 weeks ago and I wish to carry a G27 gen4 instead.

Yes.

27535. (a) No person shall make an application to purchase more
than one handgun within any 30-day period.
(b) Subdivision (a) shall not apply to any of the following:
(1) Any law enforcement agency.
(2) Any agency duly authorized to perform law enforcement duties.
(3) Any state or local correctional facility.
(4) Any private security company licensed to do business in
California.
(5) Any person who is properly identified as a full-time paid
peace officer, as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section
830) of Title 3 of Part 2, and who is authorized to, and does carry a
firearm during the course and scope of employment as a peace
officer.

Awesome! Thanks.

Not really a huge advantage though. Only once have I purchased two pistols in the same month...dont really see my self repeating that....its a nice feature to have on hand though.

Yes. Just did it myself. They had no issue with it at all.

Going to buy a G22 and G27 later today. Maybe a G34 also. Thanks guys.

Kinda wish we weren't. Would probably save me some money.

Update*

California does not recognize Federal Law Enforcement as peace officers and are therefore not exempt. We can purchase off roster firearms but no mags >10 rounds. What retarded politicians thought that up?

Went to purchase my two glocks earlier this week and was told I had to dros the other one 30 days later. They even called CA DOJ and confirmed. =(

^^^so they do or do NOT?

Federal law enforcement is not exempt from the 30 day law per CA DOJ.

Different stroke for different folks I guess. My dealer did it without any issues.

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Much to the chagrin of my finances, yes.

Federal is NOT exempt any longer. We cannot purchase off list, 10+ round mags, or more than one pistol per 30 days. Etc

That was a somewhat recent change (mmmm less than a year??), which is ridiculous..... such is California.

I had happily walked into CPE to purchase another Gen 4 when I was sadly informed that Federal Officers were no longer exempt. Maybe down the road we will again be allowed

Edit: I just re-read raitheslacker post. YOU were still able to purchase off list? Just not able to obtain the 10+ round mags? How long ago was this?

They rewrote the law for 2014 to include Federal to be exempt from off roster firearms. Just no mags >10 rnds.

There wasn't any change actually besides adding us to the exempt list for off roster firearms. They just clarified that we were not considered peace officers and let some FFL's know.

I was able to purchase an off list about 9 days ago. The FFL even called CA DOJ on the spot to confirm what we can and what we cannot purchase. Go to Triple EEE in Mission Valley. They just swap out the mags for 10 rounders.

Dang brother thanks for that info.

Still pretty ridiculous that the 10+ mags must be removed lol. But something is better than nothing I suppose
