Jason, it is the manufacturer's that select a few firearms to be sold as LE/QP firearms to First Responders. They get a discount and popular firearms are easier to obtain for them. It is sort of a courtesy thing in tribute for their service. That said, I do agree that if it is not illegal for me to own, I should be able to purchase it, regardless.

Many major manufacturers offer discounts to a large list of individuals they consider Qualified Professionals. Although commonly referred to as Law Enforcement, LE or Veterans Discounts, these discounts are actually also available to many other types of Qualified Professionals, including : Active, Honorably Discharged or Retired Military personnel - all branches (veterans, including medical discharges/disabled) National Guard personnel - all branches Military Reserve personnel - all branches CAP - Civil Air Patrol Fire Fighters - including volunteers Paramedics and EMTs TSA Employees Commercial Pilots Federal Flight Deck Officers Air Marshals Court Judges District and Deputy District Attorneys All sworn or retired Law Enforcement Officers - city, county, state, and federal All Corrections and Probation Officers State Licensed Security Companies State, Federal, and Private Security Guards DOD Contractors and the link https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/qualified_professional_discounts.
