Wouldn't that be a straw purchase if you ask a LEO to buy a new gun for you even if you could legally buy that gun?
It looks like the LEO discount would be a service who makes it illegal.
"A straw purchase is any purchase whereby the purchaser is knowingly acquiring an item or service for someone who is, for whatever reason, unable to purchase the item or service themselves"
Not saying that you shouldn't ask a LEO friend if you can get a good price, just wondering if its legal.
have your friend give it to you as a birthday present. return the favor on his birthday.
or just don't post about it on the interwebz.
