Police Trade & Surplus For Sale

Is police trade-in gear Legal?

Yes. Police trade-in gear is legal, but there are some caveats. Some items might be restricted by your local jurisdiction, such as magazines that have a higher capacity than the local legal limit. This makes checking your local laws important before making a purchase.

Can police trade-in equipment be shipped to my home?

For most items, police trade-in equipment can be shipped directly to your door. The only restrictions are those items that fall under NFA regulations or are legally classified as firearms. If this is the case, the appropriate paperwork will have to be done, and the items shipped to your Federal Firearm Licensee (FFL) of choice.

Do I need a license to purchase police trade-in gear?

You only need a license to purchase police trade-ins if your local jurisdiction requires a license to own those items. This primarily applies to firearms. Additionally, items like body armor or other potential ITAR items will require that you live within the US and may require a background check depending on the item itself.

Are police trade-in firearms worth it?

Police trade-in firearms are often a good way to get quality firearms. This is because these guns may get a lot of cosmetic wear but not a lot of real use. Other times they sat in storage for long periods as reserves. This means they are usually very functional guns at a lower price. However this applies on a case-by-case basis.
