Oh Shoot

  I'll PM you my phone number. I'm retired, so can do just about any time with a few days notice before.   - OS

Well, I was right about the Dores making it simpler regarding Vol fans' New Years schedule. :)   - OS

  No, federal law does not say that at all, Dave.   Federally, in both cases to be unlawful, the seller must  "know or have reasonable cause to believe" that such is the case. Otherwise, it is not unlawful, simple as that, as the statutes are precisely worded. I don't know of any seller in his own state who was stung for that unless he saw the buyer's out of state ID or was told by the buyer he was from out of state, and sold anyway -- never have seen any mention of a precedent where simply not asking to see ID was grounds enough alone for a conviction.   AFAIK, TN law doesn't address the issue of private interstate transfer at all, not sure regarding proof of culpability for intrastate transfer to a minor.   - OS

  Dunno down the road, but talking about local law here so far. Which stands, unless preempted by state or federal law, or deemed to have done so by legal appeal.   - OS

  Well, they're right to a certain extent as to actual practice. What the media misses of course is that it's already illegal to do it.   - OS

  Yeah. And proving it is pretty cut and dried when folks mail a firearm, as each party knows they are dealing with out of state resident.   As far as face to face, whichever buyer or seller is in a different state than his own is the most clearly culpable. The only gray is for a seller in his own state, as he must "know or have reasonable cause to believe" that the buyer doesn't reside in same state, but actual documentation is not specifically required (though I think a seller is quite unwise not to check).   - OS

  I just don't see the legal argument behind this. Statute is pretty clear that TN permits are for TN residents and residents of other states regularly employed in TN for over 6 months.   New residents' other state permits are only good for 6 months after residency is established, so it seems pretty far fetched to claim that you as a long term resident could carry on a newly acquired out of state permit. Even stretching such a concept to it's max under any nuances of the TCA wording, certainly you'd only be allowed to do so for six months after obtaining the FL permit anyway.   If you haven't been able to work anything out by then, after the first of the year, I will pledge to dedicate a day to drive over from Knoxville and get you to the class and back, and if we can't get to the DMV/fingerprint center on same day, will stay over or come back to do it the next day if you need that also.   - OS

  Bzzzzt.   Private sale of any firearm between residents of different states is a felony under federal law, regardless of where it takes place.    The only difference in long gun and handgun is that 4473 must be done in the state of the recipient in the case of the handgun, while long guns may be transferred by an FFL in any state.   - OS

  $40 now. June 30-June 30.   - OS

  JM barrels still put on most rifles made in MA after Remington bought them, and apparently are still JM on some guns even after Marlin left the MA plant with North Haven still on the barrels that were left over. Also, there seem to be barrels that were actually made in Ilion that had North Haven on them before they left that plant.   Just depends on how purist you want to be about the "Remlin" or "Marlington" thing. Only way to know for sure to get a "pure" Marlin seems to be by getting one from pre 12/2007 when Remington bought them.  'Course, saying Mayfield, KY or Ilion, NY on them erases all doubt for the new ones. :)   And btw, most of the "remlin" proofs are "REP" or "RP", though I have a transition Model 60 that shows North Haven, but with RE marking.   Also also, have read several places that sometime in 2012, the new barreled rifles have switched to the Remington date codes rather than the Marlin system.   - OS

  Quite well documented from countless memoirs from politicos and newsmen. He was quite the cocksman, and no way that Jackie was not in the know about at least some of it. She was just as much a "politician's wife" as Hildebeest in that regard.   - OS

  Yeah, how times change. JFK was even balling an East German spy, one reason J. Edgar Hoover was able to usurp even more power by holding it as blackmail over the party.   - OS

  If that's true, it's the dumbest attempted gold-digger on the planet. Zim barely has a pot to pee in.   - OS

  Maybe just don't get enough strange nookie, so have to screw the populous. LBJ probably hadn't been laid since his 40's. Carter, well, c'mon. Slick Willy tried to complete, but never got past unseeded amateur status compared to JFK.   - OS

  Nothing in federal law prohibits states/municipalities from enacting most any kind of stricter ones. Perhaps you haven't noticed that most all have? ;)   Of course, I suppose the ATF could try to class a "non metal barreled" firearm as a Destructive Device, in which case you'd have to have a tax stamp to legally possess one.   - OS

  Depends on what the transfer is. At 9.25% tax, a $25 transfer is cheaper beginning at $275 gun price.   - OS

In stands during high school at PowderPuff Football game  (they still have those?). You got out of last couple of periods if you had a ticket.   Announcement came over the stadium loudspeakers. Saw Oswald shot by Ruby on live TV couple days later, too.   - OS

  Don't have the Pro but AVG free updates defs every day, and if you happen to check more often than auto, often more than once per 24 hours.   It, a router, and modicum of caution have served me well for a good number of years now.   - OS

  A pistol buffer is no ultimate defense from anything.   The test is simple: ".. an NFA firearm is made if aggregated parts are in close proximity such that they:  (a) serve no useful purpose other than to make an NFA firearm (e.g., a receiver, an attachable shoulder stock, and a short barrel); or ( b ) convert complete weapon into an NFA firearm (e.g., a pistol and attachable shoulder stock, or a long-barreled rifle and attachable short barrel)"   There is no definition of "attachable" and no definition for "close proximity". If I only had an AR pistol, and no AR rifle or 16" AR barrel,  I would not have an AR stock anywhere on my property, regardless of buffer type. Or a vertical forward grip is the pistol is not a legal 26" overall length.   Gaffer tape will attach a stock, and I consider any where on my property as "close enough", if the axe they decide to grind is for you.   Simpler than it sounds:   Full auto or can aside, look at a part or component: - Is there an illegal config I could use this with? - If no, cool. - if yes, then - is there also a legal config I could use this with? - if yes, cool - if no, don't have it   - OS

  I must've seen pic of ex on the coverage instead of Scheibe and got them mixed up. Thanks for clarification.   - OS

  My Dad, a devout Christian, told me early on to distrust anyone talking biz who touts their religion right off the bat as credentials -- and if you've shaken his hand, count your fingers immediately.   - OS

  Caught my eye too.That seems a particularly stupid remark by a an august higher court in this state.   - OS

  And umm, plump. He should try his luck with some skinny ones maybe.   He got served with divorce papers in jail or at the court today too; said they'd been looking for him for 6 weeks to serve the papers. :)   - OS

  Irony of life is that you don't figger much of it out till closer to the end of it. Old saying is true, "such a pity that youth is wasted on the young". :)   - OS

  Well, c'mon, it's newsworthy because it is. The famous and infamous are always "newsworthy" whether they are overall "worthy" or not. :)   - OS
