best luck ever

My primary duty station was FtDrum NY, 10th Mnt Dv, 41st Eng Bn...Sappers Forward!

My first MoS was 12B Combat Engineer, went to Sapper school at Lostinthewoods,Mo in 98. I went to several schools during my terms, such as being in the final Sniper/Jungle Scout training located at Ft.Sherman,Panama. Jump school and air assault, pathfinder and a few others concerning explosives
 
I was with the 1stBn 75thRangers. I spent most of my time in Carson, we just had one company there working with the SOG CTU. I owe my life to the 10th so you have much respect from me with that (somalia). I too am pathfinder, and of course airborne and air assault, expert field medic, I'm also HALO and HAHO qualified.

Well, I'll say this, the gun talk got turned over to two people who know what their talking about.

Sorry about the thread steal.;)


RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!!!!
 
Man, this thread is full of badass! I better be careful who I talk sh*t to, I'm a mere Civvy. I'm not scared though, I once shot a 9mm while holding it sideways! KILL SHOT!
 
Lots of hooah and some old school army in this thread.

Im just an arty guy no special schools or anything like that but i did serve in OIF from 2009-2010. Attached to 89th mp based out of hood but my unit mobed out of Bliss.

I can say i did my time unlike soldiers who are always in sick call and never deploy.
 
Ranger school...good times, the 5 day awake session was awesome

Since my ex-father in law was training at the FBI base in Va, I somehow got offered the chance to do some BUD/S training... It makes going to the beach alot less fun after an encouter like that

Now for the all time soldier salute...

Snipers! Making the world a better place, one shot at a time

I was sitting in my barracks eating breakfast chow watching the towers fall on the news. Pretty much everything else in my uniform history didn't happen
 
Your brother will be committing a felony if he picks it up for you.

ATF rules are very specific on such long gun sales. If the purchaser (and yes, you did purchase it) is out of state, he or she must pick up the long gun in person.

If your brother picks it up for you, he will be committing a crime as soon as he checks the little box on section 11 subsection a (11a) on the 4473 that asks "Are you the actual transferree/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are ot the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you. (See Instructions for question 11.a.) Exception: If you are picking up a repaired firearm(s) for another person you are not required to answer 11.a and may proceed to question 11.b"

That is verbatim, taken straight off one of my 4473 forms. And yes, I have read a pamphlet on the subject, what with being a Class III/NFA dealer.

So, it looks like you're picking it up yourself in March. IF the dealer releases it to your brother, then all three of you (you, brother and dealer) can get in deep schit. You do not mess with the BATF.

hmm thanks for the info. I truly hope your trying to be captain info finder and not captain cotex


its rules like this that are stripping our gun rights from us. IMHO i shouldn't even have to register my firearms. I have never been convicted of a felony. I am a American born citizen. and a lot of our solders died to give my these natural born rights.

for some scared little batch who doesn't want to arm himself to take that right from me and those solders just plain PISSES ME OFF!!!! these people think by setting these rules is going to take guns out of bad peoples hands? bullshat they dont follow the rules anyways.


every other gun i own is unregistered and were purchased before all these bullshat rules were put in place.
including my 1st gen colt peacemaker
my model 70 series 70 gold cup 1911
among 18 others those are just my favorite two
these are all safely tucked away in a huge safe about 30 min from me they are cleaned every 3 mo. and shot every 6 mo. or so
 
just to let you and everyone like you know i "gave" the gun to my brother I hope you are just trying to be captain fact finder. and not captain kotex.

No, you jackass! I'm trying to keep you out of jail by attempting to educate you on ATF rules. What you do with this information, that's all up to you. It won't be I who's rotting in jail because I "gave" my brother a rifle.

I was thinking at first i would have to pick it up in person. but i suggested to the store owner that it would be an easier process seeing how my brother is an Arkansas resident. the shop owner liked the sound of that.

You... suggested to the shop owner to release it to your brother because it's an easier process? I have news for you, the process it the same whether or not you're an AR resident. Form 4473 is the same. Furthermore, that FFL will now be liable since he KNOWS (according to your statements) that your brother isn't the person who won the raffle.

I did not pay for a gun i payed for a raffle spot. the gun is free. or it would considered a lottery which is illegal to hold in the state of Arkansas without the proper licensing

Seriously? And this gun shop owner is going along with this drivel?
First of, whether of not you pay for a firearm, if you get it from an FFL dealer, you have to go through a 4473 form. No exceptions. It don't matter if
God himself gives you a firearm he created himself, if he's an FFL he will have to have you fill out a 4473. I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea.

I know that sounds backwards as hell but it is Arkansas[

And Arkansas state gun laws supersede Federal gun laws now?

i did not win the raffle the ticket did. i decided to give the ticket to my brother so the actual gun will be registered in my brothers name not mine so therefore it is completely legit.

will do my brother will be picking it up on monday in the am. i am in Tennessee at home now. the only bummer is i probably wont touch it until mid march. but shat for $10 i will wait a year... i am looking at a 6.8 upper for it now



Yeah... ok. keep telling yourself that. Remember, the IntewebZ have a long memory.



so in essence i gifted the win to my brother he will actually own the gun he is just going to loan it to me for 40 or so years.

Right.

and one more thing its rules like this that are stripping our gun rights from us.

No, rules like these keep honest people honest.

IMHO i shouldn't even have to register my firearms.

Register a firearm? Do you even know WTF you're talking about?

I have never been convicted of a felony.

Good for you. Want a cookie or something?

I am a American born citizen. and a lot of our solders died to give my these natural born rights.

Ok. Run for office and help change the law then.


for some scared little batch who doesn't want to arm himself to take that right from me and those solders just plain PISSES ME OFF!!!! these people think by setting these rules is going to take guns out of bad peoples hands? bullshat they dont follow the rules anyways.

When did this thread turn into an anti gun thread, again?

every other gun i own is unregistered and were purchased before all these bullshat rules were put in place.

my model 70 series 70 gold cup 1911
among 18 others those are just my favorite two

There you go. Tell everyone on the interwebs what unregistered firearms you own and where they are. Reeeeeeal smart there, skippy.


If I may make a humble suggestion? Don't argue ATF laws as they pertain to Firearms with a licensed dealer. I have at least 30lbs worth of books that are full of state and federal laws as they pertain to firearms and explosives.

Pray to whatever God you believe in that rifle never gets stolen or is used for shooting someone... legal or otherwise. Because when that happens, you will experience the wrath of the ATF once they start tracing the history of that firearm.
 
AWWWW forget the 6.8 upper! Go for the Beowulf .50 upper! Get some REAL firepower for that varmint gun.

The Beowulf has outstanding velocity out to about 200 meters, with very little over penetration. Not to mention the size of the hole it creates.:D


To hard to find ammo i am really considering the .308 with a 18 in barrel
 
Now try to immagine how someone else who WENT to war, and have those exact rights taken away when they got home would feel.
I saw screw gun laws...let whoever has a gun carry it...if that gun carrier is a retard and does something stupid, oh well. Saved a dumb ass from being on welfare
 
While I agree with you, sapp, I have to say that the person who's carrying a firearm should have some sort of basic firearm training before they can carry. Now, I'm not talking about a CCW, but something like basic hunter safety.

I know too many people who want to get a firearm just because it's "cool" to have one. Hell, I've had said people try to buy a firearm from me. Every single one, I refused to do business with. I may not have a conscience, but I do have morals. And those morals preclude me from selling a firearm to just anyone who's "legal" to own one.
 
your right i am, wrong now just go away!

I am not going to sit here and argue something that has to do with arkansas state lottery laws. I am not a lawyer nor a resident. and i truly dont know but if i tell the shop to go fock themselves does that mean i still own the gun no!!!! I never bought a gun. i bought a ticket that won a gun. i decided to give that ticket to my brother.

and i should have never posted all of that it took me about 90 seconds to realize that and unpost it. i would like it if you did the same.


i appreciate your assistance now check this out it will prove your point http://www.amishrakefight.org/gfy/

Amen

Nor are you a Federally Firearm Licensee (FFL). I am. Until you get to learn FFL laws, you really ought not to argue federal firearm laws with me.


and i truly dont know but if i tell the shop to go fock themselves does that mean i still own the gun no!!!! I never bought a gun.

Are you an idiot?

i bought a ticket that won a gun. i decided to give that ticket to my brother.

Right. That's why your brother's going to "loan" it to you for the next 40 years. Seriously, do you think you're the first one to try and pull crap like this on the ATF? You think you're pretty smooth, don't you. I have news for you, Connie... You're about as smooth as 80 grit.

and i should have never posted all of that it took me about 90 seconds to realize that and unpost it. i would like it if you did the same.

No, you should not have posted it. Now, I'd have considered editing my post, but you know what? After sending me to a website that suggests I should go copulate with myself... I think I'll keep my posts unedited. See if an admin will edit them, but I highly doubt it.

Next time use your brain before you let your fingers do the blabbing.

i appreciate your assistance now check this out it will prove your point http://www.amishrakefight.org/gfy/



Oh, and you really are lucky. "Why?", you ask?

You're lucky because I'm not the type of person to send a link to this thread along with some screenshots to the ATF Field Office in Little Rock, out of some sort of spite or misplaced loyalties. I can't imagine there are too many pawn shops in Ashdown Arkansas that held a raffle for a RR AR15. ;)

I strongly suggest you think before you post more drivel.
 
Yes basic weapon safety and usage should be a must, and I don't want to say that should be the -only- requirements. There's a difference of someone like say for instance a war vet who knows how to handle heavy machinery, and the guy who'll probably drop it and accidentally saw himself into purée.
 
such a nice guy that frogman and knows so much and can take a joke so well.
 
And if you don't believe Frog about the laws, just call the ATF and ask them, the numbers in the govt section of your phone book
 
I hate to say this but thanks

After talking to you I have realized i should probably go register it. I hate to do so. but when and if i ever decide to use this piece for what it was intended for my brother should have no consequences. nor the shop who generously gave it to me.

I have a few questions

What do you do when you buy a piece from a gun show?
should i register the other firearms i own and why?

I just don't like the government knowing every time i fart.
Kennedy said it best "it is not what your country can do for you it is what you can do for your country"

There are a lot of people doing so much for this country and getting nothing for it while there a lot of people sitting on capital hill cashing big checks. and a lot of people sitting on there asses collecting an undeserved check. ie disability soc check so on and so forth.

i fear that something drastic is going to happen and we will need a little secrecy but that is just me.
 
Pay a local ffl dealer to take care of the transaction. It'll be the best 30 or 40 bucks you ever spent to get a good 10 dollar gun in your hands legally. your still ahead of the game by a value of at least 800 dollars. You can always sell that AR if you don't like it and make some fast cash. However I own to AR's one long,one short and think no man should be without at least one

thank you
i have read nothing but good things about rra so i am sure i will like it. i am a member of a local gun shop/club here in murfreesboro. once i receive the gun from my brother I will do that. sux but i guess if your going to play the game you should play it right.

I still want to let him pick it up just in case there is some weird unforeseen :q:q:q:q.

Smartest thing you've said so far.

I have a few questions

What do you do when you buy a piece from a gun show?

What do I do, or what is a person in general supposed to do?

If you are buying a firearm from a private, not FFL individual, then all you really need is a receipt from the person who sells you the firearm. I recommend a copy of his/her driver's license on the receipt, or at the very least a driver's license number. Of course, make/model/serial number should be specified on the receipt.



should i register the other firearms i own and why?

I don't have my Laws by state book with me, so I can't speak about a state requirement to register your firearms in AR, so I won't comment on that.

Now, by Federal Statute you do not need to "register" your firearms. Matter of fact, there really isn't a way to register a firearm that was purchased from an individual, with the ATF... let me rephrase that. Of course, you can always call your local BATF office and tell them you want to let the ATF know you're in possession of said firearms. But you'd be an idiot to do so, unless you're not sure of the complete history of the "unregistered" firearms. By complete history, I mean a history of every person that owned the firearm and for how long. Too many stolen firearms get sold at gun shows by private individuals.

At the very least, have a law enforcement friend run the serial numbers through NICS. If they come back clean, don't worry about the history. You'd do well to not boast to people of what you have and where they are.

I'm not advocating illegal firearm ownership by any means. My philosophy on this stuff is simple. If the ATF don't need to know about it and it's a legal transaction, there is no need for them to know about it.

Unfortunately, an FFL such as myself can't just go to a gun show and buy a firearm from a private individual... legally, anyways. As an FFL, any firearm transaction I make must be logged into my disposition book... a ledger, if you will. Even if the firearm was purchased from a non FFL.

I just don't like the government knowing every time i fart.

I have news for you... They can probably smell our farts. I'm not one for government getting into my business either, but laws are laws. We can either live with them or we can work to change them through peaceful means.

i fear that something drastic is going to happen and we will need a little secrecy but that is just me.


Then quit posting firearm possession information on the net.
 
so what your saying is if i bought the gun from my brother on a private party basis i would not need to register it? jk
 
so if the Arkansas state lottery laws states that the ticket holder can claim the prize (not the ticket purchaser). what was all that about?
 
The AR law may say that, but I think you've missed the whole point of my typing all that stuff to you, so let me recap for you. I am going to paraphrase, since I don't have the tie, inclination or patience to sit here and quote stuff:

You: Y0, I won me a friggin sweet AR 15! I'm not an AR resident but my bro gonna pick it up for me!
Others: Cool!
Me: Your bro can't legally pick it up.
You: Waaa! Frogman is an idiot! I'm smarter than the ATF!
Me: Explains to you why your bro can't pick it up... again
You: But the stor is gonna let my bro pick it up!
Me: He... can't... do... that.
You: Waaaa! I screwed up. I gave the raffle ticket to my brother. He's gonna loan me the rifle for the next 40 years.
Me: You're missing the point. You already said YOU won the rifle and your brother is going to pick it up for you. And Again, I explain the reason why that's illegal in the eyes of the ATF.
You: But.. But.. But... Arkansas lottery, :blah: :blah: :blah:!
Me: You're missing the point of what I've been trying to drive through your thick head.
