Off roster purchase

[drewXD/G23]

Fellow FFL holders, I've been hearing that there is a new law that is set in Jan. 14' that states in order to purchase non roster handguns, LEO's need a letter from the department..... Is this true?!?!

No new law but some ambiguity in the new DES/DROS manual:

In another thread, I asked the same thing. I called PORAC to see if they knew about it.
The new PORAC president called me back. He told me that their legal experts
say that the requirement to have a letter to purchase an off roster gun is the law!
I told him I thought they might be wrong. That the law had not changed but DOJ dealer regulations said it had.
His response to me was that I should research the laws and regulations and send the info to him so they could look at it.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided that if PORAC wants to dispute it with DOJ, they should do the research on the subject.

Based on what I can see the bill that would have made this the law did not get signed into law.

take a look at the DOJ firearms site under "archive" the first topic deals with this and the AG has said effective immediately no letter is required to buy high cap mags or off roster guns by CA leos. http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/exemptpo.
