[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Whats wrong with this picture?

Posted: 11/15/2001 8:55:12 PM EDT

I just got this email about a couple of Rock River lowers I had posted for sale on the Equipment Exchange...

[i]Sir,
I am a police officer in Ohio.
I am interested in buying a lower and have heard good things about Rock River.
If you can ship directly to me for the $116 I would like to get one.I don't have a FFL nor do I have a holder that I deal with.
thanks,[/i]

Is there a full moon or what?

Fine example of LEO not haveing a clue about the LAW they are sworn to uphold.

Sounds like one of the guys that ONESHOT had a run in with.

Thats easy,just tell him to fax you a copy of his LEO ID.

And then call his CO and tell him what a dumb a$$ he was working for him[:D]

Actually, unless things have changed recently, the GCA of 68 lets LEO’s purchase firearms through the mail. (I know, I know – it just isn’t fair.) I’ve seen this done numerous times, generally to save money.

In brief, the LEO has to submit a letter from his chief stating the firearm will be used in the performance of official duties. I don’t know if the seller has to have a FFL or not.

Granted, this LEO may not have been looking to do this as described above.

Maybe a law enforcement agency can purchase arms directly through the mail, but I don't think that individual officers are specifically exempted.

I think you guys need to lighten up.....I sometimes work with both local and Federal LE and would like you to send me a lower also. Not only do I not need an FFL but I also have no money. Please send me one for free.
