doing a quick search... How-To Import/Export FAQs Q: May a licensed dealer who does not have an importer’s license make an occasional importation? Yes. A licensed dealer may make an occasional importation of a firearm for a non-licensee or for the licensee’s personal use (not for resale). The licensee must first submit an ATF Form 6, Part I to ATF for approval. The licensee may then present the approved Form 6 and completed ATF Form 6A to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Contact the Bureau of ATF, Firearms and Explosives Imports Branch for forms, or download them from the ATF Web page at http://www.atf.gov/forms/firearms/. so my quick understanding is that any FFL can fill out the paperwork. so maybe if you can get enough people to join maybe the cost wont be as bad?

Not sure if you know about this story but it probably has something to do with it... Gregg Revell

They probably have an exemption for security companies too where they have to get special licensing or something.

I think he's talking about falconry. Hire a falconer and have his trained falcon/hawk/eagle hunt those seagulls down. but i guess you have your answer now. your company would have to look into becoming an FFL if they want the firearm themselves. or maybe just hire that person for that position? if that's a possibility.

i guess that guy never got the gun safety memo.

now i'm not sure cause i've never been to a range that has this but aren't there ranges that have guns in their inventory which they can rent out to people? does the range own the firearm? and then wouldn't that fall under the same category? instead of shooting birds people are shooting paper? just came into my head while reading this.

wow... yeah i don't understand where they get these ideas. i think it is just another method of allowing the government to monitor individuals for whatever reason they want.

haha yeah. pig parts are being used for various things now. from "soap, toothpaste, bread, low-fat butter, concrete, German train brakes, fine bone china, paint, sandpaper, cigarettes" a lecture on the subject: TED

yup. if you're going to go for an unrestricted state, states like alaska would be a better choice. they still issue permits for residents for reciprocity reasons.

yup. that makes perfect sense. our state denies us the means to protect ourselves probably with the notion that the law enforcement will do that and then they go and layoff more of said law enforcement. edit: something tells me i might as well just staple a paper target to my shirt. help those bad guys out a little.

yes a formal debate. and yeah probably not but i still would like to hear it. i recently read a page about the brady campaign's push to stop guns on college campuses. and all they do is sit and talk about how college students binge drink, are high risk, some are suicidal, etc. and while i don't agree that all college students are this way. not once do they mention anything about what is wrong with teachers carrying but they strongly oppose both students AND teachers from carrying. i think 5 of the victims from the VTech shooting were teachers. I think 3 died protecting their students while they escaped out the windows.

I know we like to discuss the matter among ourselves and that's just fine and dandy but I was just wondering if there were any public debates between the two sides. I would really like to hear how those ended. I can already guess an "agree to disagree" but I still would like to hear the two sides battle it out.

A permit is required for carry in Philadelphia period. It does not specify whether it is open or concealed, which was the issue with that guy. Everywhere else it is no permit required. I wouldn't mind something like Utah. Where is that option?

OMG!! How did you know? You must be a psychic. Teach me your ways...[/sarcasm]

Funny picture my friend sent me.

sorry to hear about your daughter but sounds like things are somewhat working out. i know if that was me my parents would've beat my a** to the ground and then make me go apologize and then beat my a** to the ground again. oh don't worry too much about it. children's bones do heal quite rapidly. if you are that concerned go to the hospital and get the x-ray films and bring it to an actual orthopedic doctor/surgeon. he'll be able to tell you more as that is his specialty. see if a closed reduction is possible. you don't have to jump right into surgery.

it might not even have to go that far. there is a petition for a writ of certiorari that was already filed with the supreme court in the Williams vs Maryland For a link to the thread on here with that topic: Click Here For updates on that petition: Click Here

agreed. a firearm is not a solution to every situation but it does put things more in your favor. it gives people more options. eh. i think that's just reading it too literal and not exploring how it can apply in a broader sense. whatevs.

Dear Santa...

you never know. just cause they were willing to jump through all the hoops doesn't mean once they were done they did not have to wait any longer and got their FID/PP faster than towns without these extra forms. there is a person here who had to sign a release form for a credit history check. (i know... what the f?????) and still had to wait 80+ days edit: oh and thank you. to you and nj2as. hopefully somewhere down the line we can actually have a uniform way of applying for these IDs and actually end all the unnecessary delays.

So..... NJ?

Maybe you should mention the town? If there were others waiting on their FID,PP, etc. they could now possibly call and get that settled.

Check your ports and like what was said before your NAT type. You want NAT type 2. NAT type 1 is better but the only way you can get that is to have a direct connection to the internet, no router in between. If it's NAT type 3, first try to enable UPnP. That should automatically open the necessary ports on your router and enable you to play. HOWEVER, some routers are a little finicky and you'll have to manually open the ports yourself even if you have UPnP on. Try that. If none of those options work. You could try to place your PS3 in a DMZ. If it gets that far I'll respond with more details cause it takes a little more work. Netflix, hulu, and etc. All the services will be down. I think they'll be restored along with the PS Store.

how much?
