Wow guys..... "straw dealer"?
"I'm one of the good guys"...using a local FFL in your community is fine with me. The reaction to this offer has been surprising.
I can see your moral argument with the good deal for airline pilots, however HK has made no statement prohibiting this type of purchase - and I would chance to say they don't care. If my wife flew in the airlines, I would just buy her share. I don't plan on hocking this one, but would like to have one at the Ranch, and one at the house.
So.... as I stated: I'm up for paying an extra $100.00 if you want to pursue a totally legal purchase of your HK LEO model, involving an FFL if you desire. I encourage you to research the law, contact your local authorities for advice, and even contact HK if you desire. In the end, lets do it right if it is do-able.
For the rest of you... take it easy.
