LEOs 30 day exempt?

[EBR Works]

Not sure why I don't know this! Are active duty LEOs exempt from the 1 in 30 for personal handgun purchases (non-duty, no letter)? I assume that they are, but I never assume..

Some LEOs are exempt from the 1 in 30 restriction, and others are not. Exempt officers do not need an agency letter, nor is there a restriction for the weapon being purchased be used only for duty. Please refer to Penal Code section 27535(a)(5) for the distinctions.

With a Valid Active-duty "PEACE OFFICER" ID per CA PC sections 830 I've been exempt from the 1-30 handgun restrictions by the FFL dealers and No need for a Department agency letterhead.

Did they pass a new law...again????

As I thought. Thanks!

Is there a maximum number of handguns that a person may purchase?
Yes. A person is generally limited to making no more than one application to purchase a handgun within any 30-day period. Handgun transactions related to law enforcement, private party transfers, returns to owners, and other specified circumstances are exempt from the one-handgun-per-30-day restriction.

Here's the other one that seems to come up a lot.

What proof of residency are peace officers required to provide?
Peace officers, including reserve and retired peace officers, may present valid credentials issued by a California law enforcement agency in lieu of the other required residency documentation. This consideration is given to peace officers who do not want to provide documentation of their residence address for security reasons and who otherwise do not object to having their credentials copied by the firearms dealer for inclusion with the DROS record.
