This might sound like a gripe on some california LEO's but it's not especially given the fact were I work. So can someone or better yet can a Cal LEO tell why some LEO's understand PC12276 assault weapons ban as written but don't have a clear idea on how to assess a cal legal OLL (off list lower) or complete cal legal M4/AR? I'm a PSO (Police Service Officer) at a college police department. One night I had been viewing this site to get some ideas on my next build and ok ordering parts as well.
While viewing M4's from unrestricted states like Texas*@$#%^! one of our officers/work friend came in asked what site is that and I told him and also let it out that I planned on building a second cal legal AR (mistake) like these but cal legal. His response was "you may be in violation of PC12276". I then then tried to educate him on how this could be done by showing him a flowchart on calguns.net, gun shops that specialize in cal AR's, gun shops that sell OLL and or complete cal AR's, etc. But here's what shook me after showing him all this and saying I can go six miles up the road and buy a cal legal lower receiver, "I'm sure you know what your talking about with this lower what evers but I can only go by the laws given". This seemed like a I'm sworn and know more than you thing and respectful education did'nt work in this case. I understand the brotherhood thing more so than some having retired from the military and worked in special units, this just seemed like a sworn officer on a horse. Let me say this to you all I have deep respect for LE and wish the elected officials would put more energy on the crimials than the law abiding citizens. By the way I first learned about cal legal AR's from our patrol rifle instructor. Let me know what you think.
