    Default LEO TRANSFER

    Can a law-enforcement officer sell a firearm to another law-enforcement officer. Do we still need to do a background? what is the process for gifting a firearm to your son? Thanks in advance

    Part of me wants to say, that being an LEO does not mean you don't have to abide by private party transfer laws.

    And part of me wants to say if they are exempt from these laws they should not be.

    And another part of me wants to say (taken from government liberal logic) if you are law abiding, what would you have to hide by not wanting to follow the same laws you are enforcing?

    You still need the background check.

    During the panic and when BGC's were running 9 days, I watched LEO walk in with a letter from their chief and walk right out the door with a firearm.

    Their chief cannot exempt anyone from the background check for a personal firearm. If the firearm is to be owned by the agency, that is a possibility.

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    I think it was for personal use but could be wrong. Maybe a LEO can chime in.

    That is amazing that LEO have, will or want to not follow the same rules that they enforce. Good job guys that makes us proud.

    Exactly, And this isn't even "LEO Bashing", we would treat the same guy off the street posting a thread on how to get a gun "without going through the BGC" with a LOT more sarcasm and harsh words.
