Does anyone have a source or copy of the Fed regulations allowing a FFL to ship direct to a LEO with a letterhead?

Thanks

    You might find it on the BATFE website. You will probably find a format for the letter in a gun catalog geared to Law Enforcement. Streichers comes to mind. I ordered a pistol or two that way a number of years ago. Basically the letter had to have the department letterhead, be signed by the chief/sheriff of the department, describe the make and model of firearm being ordered, and include a statement the firearm was being ordered by an individual officer for duty use only, and finally it had to include the officers full name and birth date. I'm sure others will check in with the exact regulation.

    Just get the Letter written on their Letterhead and ship it to them. I've done it several times before the Assault Weapons Ban expired. If you are concerned about this do a google search for 27 CFR 178.134

    That search will get you an outdated regulation. 27CFR ?178.134 no longer exists. All the 27CFR ??178 and 179 references were changed to ??478 and 479 when BATF was transferred to the Department of Justice. The wording remained the same, but could change over time.
