My father-in-law is an active C&R collector. He has a great collection and it is quite large by most peoples' standards. I have really enjoyed talking guns, going to shows, and physically going through the collection from time to time with him. We have a strong common ground in this area...

It was a K98. I think the initial arrestable offense was that private party transfers are illegal in CA (they were in San Diego).

Is there any reliable data on how many buyers (say, since October) are new gun owners, versus previous owners adding to their collections?

Or they could just stop making more regulatory gun laws altogether and just leave us the heck alone... I understand the motivation and sentiment behind this bill (really, I do) - but it would ban the sale of a firearm based on a certain feature. Sound familiar? How is that fundamentally good?

The number (357) is certainly serendipitous :)

I respectfully disagree with that being a sane first step in a state where registration is required. This is one case where some careful and discreet research is warranted prior to alerting the authorities.

...or Garand, or M1 carbine, or...

What state does he live in? Alot will hinge on that fact... In some places (New York, for example) a person cannot touch an unpermitted/unregistered handgun without committing a felony. In other states (California, for example) registration is required, but not having done so is not an...

Thanks, folks. ReadyontheRight, I kinda thought that may be the case regarding OTC sales, since the CMP is unique in the world of transfers. I had also thought of doing one now and one on the way through...I just have to figure out if I'd have enough cash and volume in the vehicle to carry...

I would like to buy an M1 Garand from the CMP. I'm not an M1 expert, but I've always wanted one, and it's currently within my means. I just went through the form/checklist and have everything required...so I could order one right now. Here's the rub: I am moving across the country in...

This one, while sounding plausible, is not true - rain does indeed penetrate the shock cone of a supersonic object. Water erosion is a significant challenge facing supersonic missile radome design.

Oh, calm down. I go there frequently, and have observed folks who've never picked up a gun before getting training and experience with firearms for the first time at this range. They are greeted and catered to by a professional and friendly staff in a family-friendly environment. I haven't...

I know in my case the fascination lies in the fact that the Garand, M1 carbine, and 1911 were the tools that were used to win WWII. To simply hold one of these veterans and think about what thy might have been through is what does it for me. They also have neat stories from an...

What about LMT or Noveske?

Not exactly a "gun show" in the tradiational sense, but whatever. Whoever gave an 8-year-old an UZI in full-auto mode without full hands-on attention is an idiot. Probably criminally so.

You are wrong. A gift between spouses is unique compared to a gift between any other two people in this country. I know people that have gotten divorced, and the guns that were purchased solely by the husband are treated as common property during the split. In most states gifts given between...

What sort of common marital property issues would come into play in situation #2 (that's not rhetorical - I really don't know)? Assuming the wife is not guilty of any past disqualifying crimes or mental issues, why would you even bother transferring to her - especially if WA doesn't require...

Go for a Mechanical Engineering degree. Emphasize (or even pursue a master's degree in) materials and manufacturing in the course of your studies. Then pursue a job with a contractor that makes small arms (FNH, Colt, Sigarms, etc.). That last bit may be tough, depending on the job landscape...

IANAL. You may have a case, but you'll almost certainly need witnesses. Do you have contact info for anyone else that was in the store? If you can't get some witnesses, it's your word against his, and he may pull the "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" cliche.

Is there a better country out there? Not in my opinion. Some examples: Afghanistan is one of the most libertarian places on earth (read: wild frickin west). You can also get some serious weaponry fairly easily. That doesn't mean it's a nice place to live. You will go to prison for many...
