Dumb question

[Slasher]

This is kind of a dumb question but I have not really seen anything about this before. I bought my first handgun a while back and found the warranty card the other day. How many of you send in your warranty card? Is it something that you normally do or is it like the warranty card on a can opener and you just throw it away?

Thanks,

I've never sent one in, nor been asked for one. They make good fire starters though...

I think those cards are mostly to get your address for junk mail / spam etc. I'm sure you can also register online if it's important to you, but I've never sent one in and have never been asking for one either.

Some require it for lifetime warranty. I don't know if they deny warranty if you don't send it tho..

The only dumb question is that which is not asked.....unless it comes from Punisher84, then they're ALL dumb questions..,. Just kidding bro. Anyway, I, like the rest of them have never sent in a warranty card and have never had any problem with warranty service, although that is limited to exactly one gun that I had to send back.

No need to send in the card if you've purchased from a reputable manufacturer.

I have never been anything but nice to you!

I sent one in because it was required to get the rebate. Other than that, no.

You don’t throw anything away that came with a gun. The box, papers, receipts… nothing.

They make the gun more valuable when you sell it.

As far as the warranty card; it would depend on what your manufacturer requires. I buy Smith & Wessons and you can register them online. Although I don’t think it matters if you register it or not; they will take care of you if something happens.

I just found out that my new Beretta gets a warranty extension - from 1 to 3 years - if I send in the card. For me that's probably going to be enough incentive to actually do so. Generally, I just store them in the box with the manual, lock, etc.
