Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025
The Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025 would create a formal program through the General Services Administration (GSA) allowing federal law enforcement officers to buy their retired service weapons from the agency that issued them. The purchase must occur within six months of retirement and the officer must be in good standing with their agency. The sale price would be the firearm’s salvage value, reflecting its age and condition. The bill defines key terms (who qualifies as a federal law enforcement officer, what counts as a firearm, what is a retired firearm, and what salvage value means) and directs the GSA to establish the program within one year of enactment. In short, the bill formalizes a pathway for officers to repurchase their service weapons at a depreciation-based price rather than leaving the weapons as surplus.
