Penal Code Section 32000(a) generally prohibits the sale of "Unsafe Handguns". Penal Code section 32000(b)(4) provides a listing of agencies and individuals permitted to purchase "Unsafe Handguns". Reserves are included (so long as they are sworn). There is no requirement for full time employment. Retired officers are not. Here is the text of 32000(b)(4): "The sale or purchase of any pistol, revolver, or other firearm |

Nor shall anything in this section prohibit the sale to, or purchase by, sworn members of these agencies of any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.
I am a sworn sheriff's office search and rescue volunteer. This last paragraph doesn't state "peace officer," "for use in the discharge of their official duties," or "paid employee." It seems to imply that I am exempt from the roster - or does it? Last edited by ronlglock; 08-29-2013 at 6:32 PM.. |

If you are classified as a "Reserve Deputy" you are good to go.

Sworn and badged search and rescue member. Not reserve. That's why I'm asking about the definition of "member."

LASD has reserves assigned to the various Mountain Rescue Teams that are reserves, but they do not perform general law enforcement duties. They also have a Reserve Medical Company that provides doctors who are reserves to help staff the Air Rescue Helicopters.
