Retired Officers Cannot Own Assault Weapons—A.G.

By KENNETH OFGANG, Staff Writer

A retired peace officer is not exempt from the state ban on possession of assault weapons, the attorney general has opined.

The opinion was issued by then-Attorney General Jerry Brown last Friday on his last business day in office before taking the oath as governor on Monday. It was made public yesterday.

Brown, responding to a request by San Diego County Sheriff William Gore said an exception to the ban allowing law enforcement officers to possess assault weapons if issued by their agencies, or if acquired by the officer with the consent of the agency, applies to active personnel only.
