  1. Glock 19 or Glock 23 depending on your preference for 9mm or .40SW

    The 26 / 27 give up a lot in terms of ergonomics and capacity for hardly any gain in concealability. The 17/22 give up a lot in terms of concealability for hardly any gain in ergonomics or capacity. Just my practical take on the matter.

    What's with this 'or' stuff? Everyone needs a 19 and a 23! :)

  2. What he said, except with keeping files on computers. The ATF can access some files that are stored on computers if they have access.

    True but many FFLs still use the paper 4473. Even then, I don't know if the ATF has direct access to the FFLs computer files. They might still have to contact the FFL for information - but it would be much quicker to retrieve it from a computerized system than a filing cabinet full of paper!

  3. FFLs are required to keep 4473s indefinitely (edit: 20 years - thanks for the update OhShoot). The 4473 has the firearm serial number on it. When they close the shop, the forms go to the BATFE.

    The biggest difference in the 4473/background check and registration is that with registration the government could easily determine all the guns you own - probably with a simple database query.

    With the current model, if a gun is involved in a crime (and recovered), the government must go to the manufacturer to see which distributor received it, then go to the distributor to see which dealer received it, and then go to the dealer to see who purchased it. Not only that, but the dealer can keep their 4473s filed in a number of ways (including chronologically). It a laborious process to trace a gun.

  4. Man, I wish the gun industry was like the tire industry. I've worked in the gun business for ten years and grew up with the owner of G&L for a father, and I still don't know jack crap most the time!

    And before you tire guys get up in arms, its a joke people!

    I don't know, you might not know jack crap most of the time! :)

    Just kidding - luckily I know Metalhead can take a joke!

  5. She does indeed make us very proud. She is using it toward her college bill; she's studying to be a dental hygienist, and she needed that badly.

    Wonder what she'll get at the upcoming New Year shindig?

    Where is she studying? My wife is a RDH and clinical instructor.

  6. Of course you can’t be forced to testify against yourself when you are on trial. They would have had to grant you immunity; wouldn’t be much of a point in a trial then would there?

    Once you invoke the 5th in a trial of another, a Judge can grant you immunity. Then you have to testify or go to jail for contempt. If you lie, you can be charged with perjury. Rare, because the state has to be absolutely sure of what happened and what they think you will say, but it is done.

    OK, I see where you were coming from now. Thanks for the clarification.
