Half Cocked, at first I thought you were going off "HALF COCKED", and would be set straight by Scriv or Cross-X.
I have to admit you are a tenacious detective.
Trying to understand the laws in Massachusetts, and running into differing opinions like yours vrs others, reminds me of trying to talk to my 86 year old mother and tell her why she shouldn't vote for Ted Kennedy.
It's useless argument. She's so sure it's right nothing I say could change her mind.
Now I might be wrong about Kennedy, and I might be wrong about your point of view, but I'm willing to listen to both sides and see what we finally do, agree or disagree.
You're a stubborn SOB (I mean that in the nicest way), and I admire your persistence.
It seems I've been told many a time on this board that it wasn't the buyers responsibility to make sure the FA-10 is filed. Of course our old friend LenS, who also took this stance, is no longer with us.
I know when I acquire a new firearm, or rifle or shotgun, I want a piece of paper called an FA-10, to keep in my files to insure against future problems.
The fact that the laws are difficult to understand in Mass is more the problem. Why does it take a Detective, a Chief of Police, 5 lawyers and the attorney General to answer this simple question.
Two days ago PACKINGUNGAL posted a quick synopsis of the Florida gun laws. It was all on one page. It made complete sense, and was clear as a bell.
The problem we have here is not between you and Scriv or Cross-X and us.... the problem is a state that is trying by legislation to deprive us of the God given and Bill of Rights affirmed ability for self defense.
Welcome to the board. You don't have to be proven correct for me to enjoy the exchange.
Hope you'll stick around with us and share your point of view. You do cause me to be very confused however, I'll admit that.
