Since we're stuck with registration for the near future, we want to be sure the local units of government are complying with the law as far as purchase permits and registrations/safety inspection.
In summary:
Local departments may NOT charge for permits. They may charge up to the statutory limit of $10 to notarize a permit but they may not require you to have it done by them. The permit itself must be issued at no charge.
Permits must be issued during any hours a department conducts any other normal business.
There is no limit on the number of permits that a person can obtain at one time.
There is no local waiting period allowed. A permit must be issued on your initial visit.
A local PD may not collect information beyond that required in statute.
Departments are allowed, in fact required to keep a file or database of all registered pistols and their owners.
The last AG letter on this is here: http://www.firearmsalliance.org/AGLetter7-17-06.pdf
We're trying to compile a list of those who arent following the law. So far we have dozens but the more the better..please post here or email me at [email protected] with any information you have.
Thank you!
