20 Round mag to CA-LEO. Legal?


So, I have a dilemma. Had a 20 round Ruger mag on gunbroker. Guy who was the winning bidder is apparently a California Law Enforcement Officer. Sent me the following message:

“I'll be in Virginia for a week of training and will return home on the 25th. I can send a money order on the 26th if that is ok. I do live in California but I am a full time peace officer and am entitled to purchase high capacity magazines. I will include a copy of my ID card with the payment if you would like. Please let me know if you require anything else.”

I’m not sure how to proceed. I figured CA LEOs would only be able to purchase for their duty weapons and then on department letterhead. Sort of like during the Clinton ban.

Supposedly, you can ship a magazine unassembled to CA and still be within the law provided there is a “this is for parts only” understanding.

Never run into this before.

Any ideas?

^^^ This.

I wouldn't ship anything that Joe Six Pack can't buy.

Walk away.. To risky, if he's Leo he can order direct. If you don't understand the rules, don't play the game.

I like how he said he is "entitled to purchase". I wouldn't ship it to Kalifornia.

I would send it to just on the principal that if its illegal for civies, Leo's shouldn't have it either

Leave it alone.

I wouldn't touch it because of his slimy use of the word "entitled", LOL.

But I think CA LEOs can purchase magazines without department letterhead....this link alludes to that, but it references dealers, not private sales. http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/exemptpo

Who cares if you break Comiefornia law? Not against the law here, if anything the buyer would be in trouble. I just don't see CA LEO's flying here to extradite you there. Take it apart and send it if it makes you feel better.

I'm a LEO and I wouldnt sell any thing to Commifornia, even to another LEO. They can SUX it.
