This was my first thought as well. Even if he is law enforcement, can he buy standard capacity mags for personal use, or must his agency purchase them?
Personally, I would not take the risk.

I moved here from kalifornia in 2006. At the gun stores I frequented, they had a special section for magazines for law enforcement only. Those mags were what kalifornia described as "high capacity." That's a magazine with more than a 10 round capacity. The rest of us were relegated to the 10 round or less section.
At least as of 2006, law enforcement could buy "high capacity" magazines on their own. They didn't have to go through their department. They could also buy handguns that weren't "safety" approved. For example, I had to drive all over the state to find the remaining pinned and recessed Smith and Wesson revolvers. LEOs could simply buy one off gunbroker and have it transferred into the state.
That said, I'd be very suspicious of someone who claimed to be LEO wanting to buy from Oklahoma when all they have to do is stop by their local gun store. Non LEOs were all the time trying to tell out of state sellers they were LEOs, etc.

Nope, I wouldn't go near this deal. I understand wanting to help out a LEO with his state's stupid laws, but he's a big boy and can buy his mags through proper channels without putting your ass in the sling of a grey market deal.
My spider-senses are tingling.

Theres a lot of good advice there. why put yourself in the line of fire with the feds or anyone else for a few bucks.
Well, personally, after having a good dialogue with you about cameras a while back, I'd certainly hate to read in the papers where you were arrested.
I'd pass on this one.

Yeah. . . LEO or not unless it's a FTF transaction in OK I would pass. Not worth the possible prison time, loss of money, loss of ability to own firearms.
I can go photochop a badge, ID, ETC and make it more real than one your holding in your hand so I wouldn't even believe them being a LEO.

This is nothing but a Phishing operation to see if you will sucker into selling it. Just like the cops that pose as 13 year old girls looking for sex from mature men.
If your hurting for money bad enough to risk going to jail on a federal charge, you have to rethink your financial position.

Even if he is a real LEO, he's trying to be one of the "only ones." Tell him to pound sand until his state does away with his special privileges and treats all citizens like, well, citizens. You can find another buyer in a free state.
