You do realize that your Eotech is marked "For Law Enforcement/Military Use", right?

Is that rust I see on your arms mount release lever and set screws? Looks like you need a little CLP there.....

Actually, that would be Grant of G & R Tactical's "rusty" Larue mount. I borrowed the picture from his site.  It's not rust, BTW. It's the color of the stainless steel lever. |

It has to do with CONTRACT law and not firearm laws. Eotech has the right to sell their sights to law enforcement and military customers. Bushnell has exclusive rights to sell the product to sporting and competitive (civilian) customers. (Bushnell® HOLOsight.® ). Eotech and Bushnell must not market or advertise their sights to each others customers. HOWEVER, vendors can sell it to whomever they want. It is legal for you to buy and sell an Eotech sight even if you are not LEO/military. Philip |

It was a joke in light of all the recent hooplah about LEO lowers. LEO lowers and Eotechs are perfectly legal to own. |

Lowers also add the word "Only" on the end.
Big difference.

I saw the Colt 6920 Friday and it says Law Enforcement Carbine ---IIRC |

I think he means the other side of the receiver where it says something to the effect of "For Law Enforcement/Government Use Only". |

You beat me to it. I was just going to post that letter. I also agree. It should be tacked. |

Anyone else take that "CAUTION" sticker off of their EOTech to find the nice little white line it covers up? I thought it was a big scratch until I noticed that it was the same type of mark as the LE/Military markings. You can see the beginning of it in the above picture... Why would they do that? -Randy |

It could just be a reference line for lining up the sticker. |

That begs the question from the BATFE letter --Just what is a "semi-automatic assualt weapon"?
|

Oh god, a Semi-Automatic assult weapon as defined by the 1994 Assult Weapons Bill. Civilians arent allowed to own these unless made before Sept 13 1994. The AR's and AK's that we now own Post bans are not considered Semi-Automatic Assult Rifles. So there is your answer |

You'd have to look at the law, but in summation, it says a semi-auto with at least 3 of the following: pistol grip, a detachable magazine, a bayonet lug, a flash suppressor, or a folding/collapsing stock. |

No, that is what the rifle's official name is. LE6920 is a stock/catalog number, which you will only see on the box label it comes in. No receiver is stamped "LE6920". |

Say what you will, make jokes, carry that letter around in your back-pocket, whatever...
I still would not want the average LEO to pull me over for a 'routine traffic stop' and see my "Law Enforcement Only" marked rifle in the trunk. Most LEO's wouldn't know a preban from a postban, much less know that it's legal for me to own one of these lowers. IMHO, you're just asking for an unnecessary headache...

BINGO! We have a winner. It is perfectly legal, but you are asking for trouble. I'd rather not have a Barney Fife type cop (no, I don't mean you, P806  ) take my LEGAL rifle until he understands it's legal for me to own.

I'm bored, so here goes: It's a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine and having more than one of...yada...yada...yada... If it's NOT a semi-automatic, or does NOT have a detachable magazine, it can have all the other features there are, without being an "assault weapon." "Semi-automatic" and "detachable magazine" are NOT "evil features" but qualifiers. Hopefully all of that crap will be a moot point in a couple of weeks or so.  Lonny |

You can have the EOTech sight -- no problem. It's the protective hood that will get you thrown in the slammer. People who put protective hoods on their expensive sights are either terrorists, LEO impersonators or mentally unstable.

Maybe they would believe you were a LE officer and let you go! Not Really But Im sure It could bring some more questions, Id just stay cool and try to explain it to them. Hopefully they wouldnt go all Barney on you and haul your ass in.

"GOOD FAITH"
IF AN OFFICER IS OPERATING IN GOOD FAITH DO NOT COUNT ON HAVING ANY RECOURSE AGAINST THAT OFFICER AN OFFICER THAT "TAKES TEMPORARY CUSTODY" OF YOUR LEO/GOV ONLY MARKED RIFLE/LOWER WILL PROBABLY ENGRAVE SAID RIFLE/LOWER WHEN HE LOGS IT INTO EVIDENCE AT THE END OF HIS SHIFT WITH HIS NAME AND I D NUMBER |
