I'm pretty sure a gift is the same as a sale. Person-to-person requires an FFL in the receiver's state.

With an army of paper pushers they could know what you bought through an FFL. They can't know if you still have it or not as private sales don't require a paper trail. They'd also not know what you bought from private sales. If the fed or a state did a registration requirement, there would be penalties for non compliance. They couldn't find the one you burie...."sold" but you couldn't do much with it. Similar to having a known stolen or banned gun today.

  Brian, you just got an offer from the resident king of the AR platform. If Dolomite doesn't know it, there's nothing to know.

  About 8:15am.

  This x 1 million     Plus Dalt's has some of the best chocolate malts in town.

  No, she doesn't.   http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/bronx/ny_deadly_dolls_00c8lg1GHjpMRiR0EpUIaJ

  Yes techincally you're breaking the law when the school kids are shooting at a school-sanctioned event at a gun range. Nobody but a total moron police officer would make an arrest. Nobody but a total moron DA would prosecute. Nobody but a total moron judge would hear that case.   If you live in a place with gun-hating bed-wetting the-sky-is-falling morons on the police force, in the DA's office,and on the bench, then maybe it could happen. One call to the local TV station's "investigative reporter" would generate so much bad press for all authorities involved in that chain that none of them would want to risk it. Then a call to Matt Drudge to get that story on the top of the national talking points and it gets even worse for them.       On second thought....that might be a good way to get that law changed. Any volunteers? :hiding:

The affectation doctrine gives them that power. Even intrastate commerce that effects interstate commerce can be regulated by the fed. If I buy a Glock from a TN resident that affects interstate commerce because I now won't buy one from a seller in Utah.

It's not forcing commerce, it's regulating commerce. Buyer and seller freely engage in the deal. The Fed would just be regulating it. That's not unusual.

It's as enforceable as 21 to buy liquor. Nothing really stops it except the possibility of it coming back to bite the seller and bite hard. How many of us would really risk federal felony charges to avoid an FFL transfer and to save a few bucks on an otherwise legal sale?

JayC, I think you're referring to being allowed to have a weapon on school property for school santioned events IF you're involved in the event as a participant or instructor.   I believe that razorback2003 is referring to the parts of TCA 39-17-1309 that I quoted above in post#5. It expressly states that grounds being used by a school are considered school property for the purposes of 1309. So if Central High is having a baseball practice at a city park that is not otherwise off-limits, it's off-limits while the practice is ongoing.   It's a two-way street there. You can have weapons on "school property" if you're involved in a school sanctioned event. You can't have weapons in an otherwise OK location if a school is operating there.   By the letter of the law, I'd say a shooting range being used by a school's shooting team would be off limits to anyone who is not a student or an instructor. The same could be said about a Wendy's when a school bus unloads some field-trippers.   In reality, that's asinine and everyone knows it.

The good ones don't see it that way. They see it as another revenue stream (albeit usually a small one) and the opportunity to get a future gun sale, a present accesory/ammo sale, and good word of mouth.

TruGlo TFOs for the win. Bright at night and bright in the day.   TruGlo vs Trijicon vs Mepro in the daylight http://i.imgur.com/olyuF.jpg

  This.   It's not the same as carrying past a properly posted sign at a store or restaurant. This is playing with a much bigger dog.

          Hershmeister, I'm confused. You said a BOS gives you an ironclad guarantee, then you agree with me that a BOS isn't ironclad.   Which is it?

After reading back through that a little more closely, am I understanding 39-17-1309 correctly as follows?   (B ) is saying any weapon is off limits if carried with the intent to go armed. (C ) is specific to firearms but leaves out the intent to go armed. The exception for non-student adults and vehicles is only for paragraph (c ).   If I followed that correctly, how does having a loaded handgun in the car while you're also in the car not violate (B )? I very much intend to go armed when carrying a handgun, unless I'm not understanding what the legal distinction of that phrase means.

Yep...the entire Internet-connected world got that joke except him. FAIL.

I think your office building is going to be a no-go.   TCA 39-17-13-09 [quote](b )  (1 ) It is an offense for any person to possess or carry, whether openly or concealed, with the intent to go armed, any firearm, explosive, explosive weapon, bowie knife, hawk bill knife, ice pick, dagger, slingshot, leaded cane, switchblade knife, blackjack, knuckles or any other weapon of like kind, not used solely for instructional or school-sanctioned ceremonial purposes, in any public or private school building or bus, on any public or private school campus, grounds, recreation area, athletic field or any other property owned, used or operated by any board of education, school, college or university board of trustees, regents or directors for the administration of any public or private educational institution. [/quote]   [quote](c )  (1) It is an offense for any person to possess or carry, whether openly or concealed, any firearm, not used solely for instructional or school-sanctioned ceremonial purposes, in any public or private school building or bus, on any public or private school campus, grounds, recreation area, athletic field or any other property owned, used or operated by any board of education, school, college or university board of trustees, regents or directors for the administration of any public or private educational institution. It is not an offense under this subsection (c) for a nonstudent adult to possess a firearm, if the firearm is contained within a private vehicle operated by the adult and is not handled by the adult, or by any other person acting with the expressed or implied consent of the adult, while the vehicle is on school property. [/quote]   I don't know of any other law that overrides this one, but if there is, OhShoot will be along to correct me.  :)

    Yeah, look below that one. The best comment yet:   [quote]Yo dawg, I heard you like tanks so I put a tank game in your tank so you can drive a tank while you're driving your tank. [/quote]

It needs some flames painted on the side.

Assuming SCOTUS upholds the decision, IL just has to pass a law allowing carry, but make the requirements so ridiculous that nobody will do it. Right?

I don't think there is one on that side of town. CHMR is a private club with no membership requirements beyond showing up and paying $60/year. You can shoot handguns on their 15, 25, 50, and 100 yard lanes. You can place as many targets as you want on a 4x8 sheet of plywood. It's in Spring Hill. Gallatin Gun Club is a private club with limited (and currently closed) membership which hosts IDPA events regularly. Those events are open to the public. [url="http://www.gallatingun.com/calendar.asp"]http://www.gallatingun.com/calendar.asp[/url] The schedule hasn't been extended out through 2013 yet, but it will be.

Easy. It's a cardboard tube with a UPS label on it and capped with duct tape. They're used for shipping long objects.

I wonder where Shane would fit in the last chart against Rick up through season 2's ending. I give them super-extra-cool points for including [b]Chair Leg: 1 Zombie[/b] in the [i]Weapons Used[/i] section
