I know this question has come up before, but I can't find the thread - an answer or a link to the answer would be appreciated:
What are the rules regarding LEOs and the MA approved roster?
My friend met an LEO who told him that LEOs are exempt from the MA approved rosters, can buy anything they want, and then FTF transfer the gun to a non-LEO.
I know I've heard bits and pieces about this conversation before, but I've never paid attention. Is this 100% true? What are the dirty details he's forgetting?
I know there must be an issue with intent (the LEO can't buy the gun solely with the intent to immediately transfer the gun), but could an LEO buy a new, say, Les Baer 1911 or Springfield XD, 'decide he doesn't like it,' then use one of his 4 FTFs to sell it to my buddy?
