"In other words, the purpose is to waste time and money. "
Undoubtedly when combined with an overworked public defender, who has neither the time, the training, nor the inclination to provide a first class defense.My father also said that "ballistic fingerprinting" has convicted criminals.
And exactly how many crimes has this prevented?
Beretta, Colt, Taurus, Kel-tec, and some others do not include fired casings.
I am sure they do not come with fired casings. We have the cobis done before putting them in the case. With special orders, or if someone asks, we will sell them the firearm then they have to wait until we can get them fired. We have to make an appointment. Like I said, we drive 100 miles for this. I would give the dealer a break.Prevented? None. Solved? None. It has been used in two cases in NY, but neither one resulted in a conviction. This is after ten years and millions of dollars of taxpayers' money.
It is only done a requirement with new handguns. No long guns, nothing used.
I thought that FFLs were authorized to do the firing for guns that don't come with a fired case. Is it possible that this guy is jiving you because he hasn't gotten around to it?
Are you sure about all those? I just bought a new Taurus from a Gander Mountain store, and there was no BS about waiting for the state police, etc. Is it possible they fire the pistol themselves onsite? They don't have a range, but I imagine a sand barrel would do.
