Thanks featureless! I carry Speer Gold Dot but wasn't aware of the 'LEO' restriction on 50 round boxes.
From what I hear, restrictions are a price point and marketing thing. They want to give LEOs a discount on ammo but don't want everyone buying it on the cheap because there is a market for upselling defensive ammo. Some manufacturers do it, some don't. I have a can with about 900 rounds of speer lawman (was 1000, I haven't been going to the range much) for practice, but if i went downtown to the police store, I could probably get the 50 round boxes of gold dot. They might have changed that though. I know hornady only allows LEOs to buy their 50 round boxes of defensive rounds there. They have labels on the shelf of what can and can't be sold to us civvies.
