I've been given the task by one of the Captains to research this specific topic. At this time the department does not allow officers to purchase weapons such as the AR-15A3, etc. on department letterhead. If you would, supply me with what steps your department went through to have this passed. Also, I would like to get a copy of your departments policy and produres related to this topic. I do understand this is a sensitive topic as far as giving out this type of information. Therefore, you can check me out as being legitimate. I work for the Asheboro Police Department in North Carolina. The departments address is 205 East Academy Street, Asheboro, NC 27203. The phone number is (336) 626-1300. Please make any mailings directed to my attention (Kevin Ingold). I know these questions will come up when I am asked so advise me on them. When an officer leaves the department and does not go to another law enforcement position can this person still legally own this weapon? Can an officer who works at an agency that does not allow its officers to make a weapon purchase on dept. letterhead purchase a restricted weapon from another officer from another agency? As far as the second question, one of the officers within the dept. was told by an ATF agent that yes he could purchase the weapon from the officer of another agency
Thanks, everything is greatly appreciated
Kevin
