I just got off the phone with my girlfriend who was in a panic because she showed her girlfriend a pic of the WASR she got me for my birthday. Her friend told her she had bought me an illegal assault rifle and could get in trouble. i explained to my girlfriend that it was in fact legal because it doesnt have all the evil features. She tells her girlfriend who calls her dad (gun owner) who didn't believe it was legal either, and told my girlfriend, "well i think my dad knows more about this than your boyfriend." First off, just because your daddy owns firearms does not make him Evan Nappen, If you go by what your daddy says and not the actual law, shut your trap and stop making my girlfriend feel like a criminal!

Have her get her friend's daddy to join here. Already too much ignorance in this state. We can fix that.

I hate to break this to you, but I think she is correct.

 

Tell her my bday is in a few weeks and she needs to give it to me instead so you can stay out of trouble

Yeah, turn this into a positive. Tell him about the forum so he can become edumakated like the rest of us!

That is one reason not to tell friends what you have..

how can it be illegal? It only has a single stack and doesnt have an evil bayonette lug... He cant even stab.

 

but yes, have him join this forum.

Yea, Girls like to brag about what they get their significant other, unfortunately, this is one of those items you don't mention.

At least your GF will buy you gun stuff. I get picture frames.

But at least my man cave is marginally better and I have a nice reloading bench now.

btw, what is up with this american culture of gifting picture frames?!?!?!?! not even pictures... just picture frames.

Maks, i have no clue but i wouldn't be pleasant to the person who would buy me a picture frame as a gift. maybe ill get them a soda bottle with no soda :roll:

Gotta love those. I remember sitting in a Sears Auto, waiting for my car to be fixed, listening to some little NJEA Chicky-Snax on the phone with a friend telling him how stupid he was for not refusing to take a brethalyzer before having an atttorney present, and that how he was gfoing to eb found innocent because "those stupid Cops" violated his 4th ammendment rights. I got the Glare form hell as i started laughing out loud at that one.

1. She shouldnt be telling anyone what you own and

2. many gun owners dont have a clue. I have had guys with 20 guns try and tell me the law and think because they own my guns they know the laws better.

If you get a picture frame....insert a picture of your favorite gun.

Here I go stepping off into the deep end without my swimmies again:

 

Wouldn't that be a straw purchase?

Nothing irks me more than matter-of-fact people.

I know everything about nothing!

She gave him the money to buy it.

Yes she did, and i was more than happy to use her money to buy my gun

That simply proves I shouldn't be headed for the pool without my swimmies!

 

Signed,

No, it is perfectly permissable to Purchase a Firearm for another person as a gift. A "Straw Purchase" is ONLY when a firearm is procured for another person whou WOULD NOT LEGALLY BE PERMITTED TO POSSESS IT. For example Person A has a Felony Conviction, and cannot legally own firearms. Person B goes into a local funshop and buys a shotgun at the behest of Person A, and hands them the gun after he leaves the store. THAT is a Straw Purchase. Back before they changed the handgun Age, it was perfectly legal for someone under 21 to buy a handgun, and have someone Over 21 purchase it from a Gun Shop on one of their permits, then immediately transfer it to the under 21 YO's permit. Even though state law DID prohibit someone under 21 from Purchasing a handgun from an FFL, it in no way Prohibited them from OWNING a handgun.

Person B goes into a local funshop and buys a shotgun...

 

funshop? Never heard it called that before. At first, I thought it was a typo, but now I think it was intentional. I like that term.

 

Anyway, I too have had encounters with "self-righteous know-it-alls," like the local badgeheads who make up gun laws as they go along. Topping the list is their claim that transporting firearms across state lines is "interstate gun-running" and is a federal offense.

 

I do agree with the comments about using this forum to educate people. As one person said to me a long time ago, "ignorance is cured by learning."

Its amazing how stupid some people are.
