LEO selling or transfering off roster pistols questions

[brianm767]

I read in another post where some one advised that a LEO needs to keep a off roster pistol at least one month before selling it??

I was at a gun store today and dealer told me LEO has to keep firearm for one year before he/she sells or transfers it?? (I called FUD) it came up because I told him I has a Kahr P380, he was curious as to how I got it, told him my son who is LEO bought it and decided to sell it, I bought it off him, probably three or four months after initial purchase and filed the proper intrafamily transfer form.

Is there a limit of how long LEO has to keep it? or just good practice? Dealer said DOJ will come down on LEO like my kid for doing that, (I called FUD) the rest of my off roster guns have come as gifts from out of state kids.

I've also seen where some say a LEO can buy a off list gun with the intent to resale it, or buy it specifically with the purpose of it being a gift for some on else? Are either of these illegal if all transfers are done legaly?


Legal or not? for Cali LEO to by off roster gun as gift or to resale ?

False.

FFLs must wait a year after taking firearms from shop into personal inventory before they do a face to face transfer. Since all there are no face to face transfers in CA (in general), this doesn't really matter for dealers much either.

Civilians can PPT firearms to each other back and forth to their heart's content.
