New Rules

Dave Licht sent me an email and agreed I could share it.

Hi David -

I hope you are well.

Are you aware of a new rule that requires ALL guns being shipped into california to be individually pre authorized by the state? Apparently dealers (starting May?) have to call the doj and get a number before each gun is shipped into the state.

Can you say "no more gunbroker.com transactions in california"? Can you say "no more buying guns out of state and avoiding the california sales taxes"? Can you see the end of private transactions in california?

I just sold a pistol (via private party transfer) in kalifornia and dealing with the ffl / gun store was a complete insult. The dealer (that was required to officiate the sale) took an hour to complete the transaction (despite my arriving with the completed paperwork) and the idiot told me if I did not like it not to come back! (Buy my stuff but don't bother me to make just $25 doing your transaction)

When I go to gun stores I see mostly (seemingly unemployed) lookers taking up the counter space and bar stools for hours at a time and buying nothing. I find it hard to believe gun stores can afford to insult anybody let alone people that may buy something......anything.

This is the gun business in kalifornia - take it or leave it, pay more for it, grovel to do it and be thankful for getting it. The state may be F**K'D up and need changing but when the gun dealers become willing, obedient unapologetic stooges for the state they don't deserve the business. This state lap dog mentality may be acceptable to people who buy one gun every 5 years or so but not to people buying 6 a month. The gun business should leave california and private gun buyers and sellers should say enough is way to much and defy the laws en mass.

I am just ranting but a gun collector can not compete living in kalifornia with collectors living in other states and gun dealers are becoming unworthy of the business.

Thanks

Californians Need Not Apply

Dave Licht has written a protest letter to Caspian Arms, which requires gun dealers to complete an affidavit attesting:

Pursuant to California’s 2001 DANGEROUS WEAPONS CONTROL ACT, section12125, paragraph a, I hereby declare that the Caspian Arms pistol receiver(s) I am purchasing will not be sold in California, will not be kept for sale in California, will not be exposed for sale in California or given as a gift or loan within the state of California.

They have another affidavit for "Only One" exceptions:

Pursuant to California’s 2001 DANGEROUS WEAPONS CONTROL ACT, Chapter 1.3 Unsafe Handguns, section 12125, subdivision 4, I hereby declare that the Caspian Arms pistol receiver(s) I am purchasing are to be legally transferred to sworn member of Law Enforcement or the Military as described in subdivision 4.

The company, of course, can point to California law necessitating these actions. Mr. Licht points to the industry example set by Ronnie Barrett.

Why do they do it? Probably because the business helps keep them in business.

How many others do the same? I don't know. I'm relying on knowledgeable WoG visitors to educate us all.

What should you do about it?

Contact them if you want them to know your views, and/or if you're interested in what they have to say.

That's wrong, but it's not hard to see why that's his position. Politically beset on all sides, he doesn't dare alienate the rank and file. Then again he's always been a law and order über alles kind'a authoritarian.

Our other choice is the communists.

ZOMG A RIGHTWING RACIST HATER EXTREMIST!!!!!

I see the influencers are absolutely clueless about what those symbols really stand for. 

But if the "real reporters" had to do research on their own instead of parroting agenda points, that would complicate bearing false witness and spreading false meaning after SPLC spent so much effort putting coming up with a smear program.

Safe Home Invading -- The Socially Responsible Thing to Do

"Two males with masks covering their faces entered the side garage door of the residence. Both males were armed with handguns and confronted the homeowner in the master bedroom. The suspects told the victim to lay on the floor and was not physically harmed. The two suspects ransacked the master bedroom and took jewelry and cash before entering a vehicle occupied by a third suspect. The vehicle fled the scene." [More]

I live in Hudson, OH. You don't get much safer.

I'd be interested in knowing whether they're talking about the Acme or the Heinen's, both of which have relatively safe, well-lit, and traveled parking lots, and if they can cite any police report or link to any alerts. And why they know about it but the Hudson Hub Times does not.

Hell, I'd be less curious if they could just ID a "Ruth Miller" who is 63, as Zabasearch can't find one in Hudson and the only two on the Summit County voter roll were born in 1929 and 1932.

Far be it from me to call into question the forthrightness of the elusive Rachel Manfield and the fine folks at Safe Alarm, but I do wonder what city "Chief of Police Jeff Strum" works for.

It appears Web Scammer Jammer is similarly unimpressed.
