in state buyer wants to buy a handgun for his son for christmas, his son lives in hawaii. he plans on flying out there and giving it to him. i told him i think the easiest thing to do is send it to a ffl out there to be transferred to him. just have to pay shipping and transfer fees. it is a springfield xd, dad says the son cant find a dealer to order him one. i know you can buy a gun as a gift for someone, but can you fly to another state and give it to him still, does hawaii have any stupid laws against ftf transfers?

just never had this come up in the last 6 years in the shop. i think it would probaly be ok, i just thought it would save alot of headache if we mailed it to a transfer dealer out there.

    Ruger Rehawk in a .45LC, Stainless Steel, 4" barrel, Double Action, Black Grip, 6 shot..Payment and Shipping: Please do not bid if you do not agree to the terms below!!!!! Auction may end early do to item being sold in the store even if the reserve has been met.

    Once the reserve is met with a bid, you can't just tell the high bidder, tough luck, I sold it in the store, right?

    My best friend worked for a small subcontracted company that works for a larger company. Its kinda like a manpower service because the larger company owns all the equipment and the facility and the subcontractor supplies the labor.
    Last month the contract with the larger company expired and they allowed other subcontractors to bid on the contract. The small company he worked for lost their contract with the larger company to another subcontractor. The new company kept all the employees of the previous subcontractor and is now running the facility which belongs to the larger company.
    My friend and all his co-workers are now given a decision as to how to manage their 401k's from their previous employer. They can (A.) Do a complete rollover of all their funds and keep making payments on loans they may have against their 401k's. or (B.) Take the cashout and pay penalties on their money pay off their loans if they have any and do as they wish basically.
    My question is this, can they be forced as a (group) to choose how to manage their previous 401k funds or does each individual reserve the right to make his own decision? I told my friend it sounded fishy to make them choose as a group, A or B.
    The former employer terminated their position, the day they no longer worked for that company their retirement fund ceased to be a group retirement fund and they as individuals should be given a choice as to what they wished to do with their money.
    Am I wrong?

    When Clinton left office they gave him a 21 gun salute. Its a damn shame they all missed....

    By a vote of 50-18, the California Assembly approved a bill on Thursday April 19, 2018 telling churches and others with traditional beliefs about gender and sexual orientation that advocating their views could get them sued. AB 2943 declares ?advertising, offering to engage in, or engaging in sexual orientation change efforts with an individual? is illegal under state?s consumer fraud law.

    I have never seen one like this before. Are they legal to own with no tax stamp? The price is not bad.

    Gun itself is over 19 inches long. Seller claims he asked his police officer and the officer said it was legal. 20 Gauge in case that matters.

    Auction #3236114I'm not asking because I want to bother the guy or be a jerk.I'm asking because I own a detachable-mag SKS and I've got a vested interest in the peculiar legalities of SKS rifles.Boeboe's an expert on this, maybe he'll speak up.

    OK, I have kinda dumb question:

    Since I am not an American resident(I am from the UK....), am I allowed to resell guns by using this way:

    1. I am posting an auction.
    2. Buyer buys and sends me the money.
    3. I keep my commission - sell the rest money to the FFL store...and they ship the item to the end buyer.

    The problem is that I don't have FFL permission according to the USA laws. But I don't see anythin bad or illegal since the items ships from a FFL to another guy having FFL. I am just the middleman.

    So?
    Thank you.

    My friend "George" just got done telling me that a friend of a friend of his had just called on the phone to offer a handgun for sale. He was in a hurry, and just needed the money fast "to buy some gas".

    The gun in question is a Kel Tec PLR-16 pistol in .223 caliber, and was described as "sporting a front end peg".

    A front end peg? I asked.

    A "front end peg" turns out to be a sideways facing grip attachment to the front end. I asked him wether or not it turned such gun into a pistol with a front end grip, thus illegal. His reply was "not around here it ain't".

    Price was not set, yet my intuition tells me something is not right.

    Pass?

    Got an email today from an India based Company saying I could buy prescription drugs without an prescription. They claim this is legal and more people are doing this because the cost of a Dr visit is so high and the inconvenience. My Doctor says he won't fill my Ambien anymore..

    I thought a pistol having a detachable buttstock made it a SBR?


    Though I could be wrong, it has happened once or twice before.. [:D]

    Depends on the length of the barrel.

    If it has a 16" barrel when using the stock its legal.
    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    My guess is that the barrel length is such that it is classified as a rifle - that happens to have a detachable stock. B.T.W. I bought a couple of the Carbon 15 pistols before Buschmaster bought them a few years ago. A blast to shoot.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Thanks, I wasn't sure, but it does look like it could be a 16" barrel.

    It threw me off because I found it under semi auto pistols, damn misleading information.. [}:)]

    I'm looking for a new carry gun so I can be tacticool,
    Still trying to find a way to carry it with a bayonet and not gut myself.. [:p][;)]

    yep, looks like a 16" barrel, so it's legal.

    I had a carbon 15 rifle when they first came out, before bushmaster took over, and mine was a jam-o-matic

    Where do the detachable stock/holsters of Broomhandles and Hi-Powers fit in with this ??

    There must also be others.

    C&R ??

    16" barrel and 26" overall is federal requirement for rifles.

    18/26 for shotguns.

    Not sure why the shotgun minimum is 2" more than for the rifle. Have to ask the nitwits who think they are experts on everything just because they lied and cheated their way into office.

    doug, from what iv`e read about it the batf gave exemptions for the broomhandles and artillery luger and a few others.

    Military pistols that originally came with shoulder stocks are exempted.
