Even...Definitely a good idea to get the CCW permit. Even though it seems unnecessary in theory, it only takes one overzealous cop to decide to hassle you, which could take any where from a few hours to weeks and months of your life spent hiring lawyers and filling out paperworkGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966160666876443852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-32186416101590590922016-04-12T15:53:55.541-06:002016-04-12T15:53:55.541-06:00A couple comments...

I called the guy and arranged a visit. The guy lived in a single-wide in Garden City, and although it's not fair to judge a book by its cover, he looked like a living-on-the-edge "biker" type. But the gun was just what I was looking for. I made a mental note of the S/N (it was a Glock, and the number was mercifully short), and told the guy I'd think about it and be in touch.<br /><br />I wrote down the number, and called the BATF, assuming they could let me know if it was on the Hot Sheet. They were totally unwilling to help... told me to call the sheriff. I called the sheriff's office and told them I wanted to check out a gun before buying it. They were likewise unwilling to help. (How is a person SUPPOSED to check?!! Wouldn't that be a meaningful service, that taxpayer-funded agencies could provide?) Finally the deputy was sympathetic and "unofficially" checked the make and s/n... it wasn't on the bad list, and I purchased and still have the gun.<br /><br />I was quite upset that the "authorities" were all totally unwilling to help a law-abiding citizen with his effort to make sure a stolen or criminal gun wasn't circulating.<br /><br />Regarding state-to-state reciprocity...<br /><br />I guess I better carry a list of state Attorney General names and phone numbers when I'm traveling, so I can always call before entering their state, to make sure I won't get busted for my gun!<br /><br />(Wouldn't 50-state reciprocity be a wonderful thing, for the 90% of us citizens who are law-abiding?!!)Bikeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379272663647894409noreply@blogger.com
