Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2026
Federal Law Enforcement: Buying Retired Service Weapons
Legislative Progress
Senate
Key Points
- This bill would create a new program that allows federal law enforcement officers to buy the specific firearms they used on the job once the agency decides to replace or retire those weapons.
- The program would be open to both current officers and retired officers, provided they are in good standing with their agency and complete the purchase within six months of the weapon being retired.
- The guns would be sold at 'salvage value,' which is a low price based on the weapon's age and condition rather than its original cost or current market value.
- The General Services Administration would be responsible for setting up the rules for this program within one year of the bill becoming law.
- The bill excludes most machine guns from being sold this way, focusing instead on standard-issue firearms used by agents in their daily duties.
