Some animals feel they are more equal than others apparently.
The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

Like I said earlier, I think this is relatively civil compared to a normal joe off the street coming in here posting a thread about trying to get through the "grey area" of the law ie: magazine repair kits, the occasional " if I spit into the wind on a new moon, and it is february 30th, do I still need to go through the BGC?Originally Posted by spleify

It just terrifies me that a LEO comes on the forum and asks if the law still applies to him and his "special status" as a LEO.

what's interesting is that (and not so much here) on other forums people will say "ask a cop," or "i checked with the local police....." about a legal issue. Thinking the average cop knows the law (clearly many don't -- or just don't care--given noted OC confrontations) is an absurd notion. If that's cop bashing, so be it, but it's quite true and said without hyperbole.It just terrifies me that a LEO comes on the forum and asks if the law still applies to him and his "special status" as a LEO.
Exactly... granted, LEOs do need to have a broader knowledge of the law than the average joe, but the best legal advice I can give: ASK A LAWYER, or just look up the law yourself, it's really not that hard.

Just like if Bert didn't make it a high priority to know or to get to know as much about firearms as possible, I think he wouldn't have the job he does very long.
AND, I'm curious why an LEO could not ask his peers, if his peers didn't know, ... etc, etc.

LEO TRANSFER
I wasn't gonna say anything so I think you for saying it for me. I'm still amazed at the lack of knowledge about laws etc from the ones who are suppose to enforce themIt just terrifies me that a LEO comes on the forum and asks if the law still applies to him and his "special status" as a LEO.

I think this thread is long past it's effectiveness. The question has been answered and personal opinions have been given.
The short answer is that ALL transfers for personal use firearms must go through a Background Check to comply with existing state law. ETA: I failed to acknowledge the exception for transferring to IMMEDIATE family members via gift.
Revised: Watch your comments here. Some of you are hovering mighty close to the line and I really don't want anyone getting themselves in trouble here on the site. I understand why this question is offensive to many of you but gentle nudges get better results than personal attacks. While it appears that the OP was asking in order to avoid having to go through the BGC route on a personal transfer if there was an exception, it's possible that he was seeking clarification after an LEO informed him that it wasn't required. Let's not jump to conclusions without the full picture. Even with the full picture, DO NOT start with personal attacks. We can attack and turn someone against us or we can gently educate and win an ally.
Be safe. Be legal. Be smart.

Thank you GINSUE....My original post was purely meant as a clarificting question..I was asking because of a PERSONAL transfer between 2 LEO's...In no way was my inquiry meant to be illusive towards the law I am SWORN to uphold and PROTECT. Im almost appaled in the negative responses JUMPING to the conclusion of dishonesty. I thank those who were honorable in answering the question. I'm not a fan of the new laws either, but with all the 'legalize' I wanted to know for sure.
