all they hafta do is ask you?

man, i remember getting asked (upon purchasing some jameson) “you are 18, yeah?”

now, i was 19 at the time, but how many people 17 or maybe younger would’ve answered “no, sorry, back it goes”.

playing a bit on good faith there, methinks.

and i didn’t be killing anybody with that concealed jameson…….

well, until i got behind the wheel o’ me mates car………and so it goes.

[...] notes the new form 4473s and an ATF re-imagining of the law: I�d heard that the new Form 4473 now includes a category for �other,� no longer just [...]

The first time I got the “rifle or handgun?” question (also at Wal-Mart) I think I just kind of blinked at the cashier. I mean… really?

I actually always answered honestly because I never had any reason not to (I was of age to buy the types of ammo I was buying) but I can’t imagine being 18-20 and saying “Handgun… Oh snap, guess I better go put it back then, huh?”

Of course, I’d always shoot the .410 shotshells in Taurus Revolver, The 9mm however, I use in my AR rifle. (j/k)

At one point, making a pistol out of an AR was the hot thing to do. Instructions I had made it very clear to get all new parts that had never been on a rifle and to also get certification letter from the manufacture as such. Pins that held the upper and lower were drilled out to a larger size so it would be harder to claim that someone took the handgun AR barrel and installed it on a rifle AR to make a short barreled (unlicensed) rifle.

Apparently, reusing a part, even a simple screw, that had at one point been assembled as rifle was highly illegal (for the children….)

I remember buying 22 LR. I use to pick up a box every other week while shopping at wal-mart. When I got to the cashier, a scan on the barcode would always bring up that message to the cashier to ask if this was for a handgun or a rifle. I’d always tell her that the first 20 rounds would go in the rifle, and I’d plink off the remainder in my handgun.
