Galyans? Really? The Galyans here (North Potomac, People's Republic of Montgomery County, Maryland) has a bunch of beautiful USPs in a glass display case, roughly 90 shotties/bolt-actions, as well as almost a quarter of the second level of the store devoted to hunting goods...that is surprising.
Yes, but Kolumbusomalia has made it a real pain to buy a firearm there. Waiting period and a bunch of other crap.
A dealer has to have a license from the city. Guess an FFL just aint good enough for the idjits in charge of Kolumbusomalia.
Anyone who wants to buy has to get a permit from the same .gov flunkies who the dealer had to go thru.
7 day waiting period on the permit.
Holy crap....you should see the crap people in Kolumbusomalia have to go thru! I have a book from the ATF, they sent me because of my C&R, that has the laws for all the states, and quite a few city codes.
Listen to this crap....
545.07 Weapon transaction permit application; permit term, fee.
(a) Application for a weapon transaction permit shall be made on forms provided by the Section, shall be made under oath and shall provide the following information and material:
(1) Full name, residence address, residence telephone number, date of birth, sex, race, and social security number of applicant;
(2) A current criminal background review, performed by Columbus police personnel;
(3) Fingerprints
(4) Type of weapon to be transacted
(5) Any other information or material required by the rules and regulations promulgated by the Safety Director under this section.
Its also a $5 fee, which, of course, cops are exempted from.
Oh yeah, and "no weapon dealer shall purchase, sell, barter, trade, give away, or take possession of an "assault weapon" as defined in Section 2323.01(I), C.C.C., except as provided in Section 2323.05(c)".
Aha! Time for the best part!
The above "assault weapon" crap ....
(A) No person shall sell, offer, or display for sale, give, lend or transfer ownership of, acquire or possess any assault weapon.
(B) This section does not apply:
(1) Law enforcement officers blah blah blah (we knew that would be in there, didnt we?)
But here's the good one....
(3)
To any person who lawfully possessed an assault weapon and who registered that assault weapon pursuant to former Columbus City Codes Section 2323.05 in 1989.
Even better, they also have a 'large capacity magazine' ban, and it doesnt have anything to do with the date of manufacture. The only people who can have them, according to Kolumbusomalia kode, are cops (surprise surp[rise), military, fedgov cops (oh, another surprise..), and those who have registered Class III stuff, or registered 'assault weapons'. So if you've a post-ban AR-15, and get caught with a preban mag, guess what?
(C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of unlawful possession of a large capacity magazine, a misdemeanor of the first degree.
Hmmm, seems I remember the punishment for an M1 (first degree misdemeanor): up to 1 year in county jail.
For having a preban AR mag, but a post ban rifle!
Yet, go to Hilliard, or Dublin, or better yet, Marysville (anywhere to get away from the big city liberals), and no problem.
Have I ever mentioned that I'm glad I dont live in Tole-DUH, SinSinattababwe, Cleveswaziland, or Kolumbusomalia?
No surprise that Galyans doesnt have any guns. I'd heard that other gun stores down that way moved north to get out of the city and away from these laws, too. Didnt Galyans move their firearms to one of their others tores, north of the city?
