The thing about government is the rules and regulations in place to 'protect us' usually screw us over the most.
First, the purchase application has 2 sections devoted to ethnic background. The first is hispanic and non hispanic. If you chose non hispanic, then you get to select what you are. I'll keep my trap shut on what I think of that.
I knew, absolutely knew that my application would get turned down. I had that kind of day, 2 dentist office visits for a total of $500 and the inability to eat anything for our 17th anniversary dinner. It seems that my drivers license is invalid....
HOW DOES THIS CRAP HAPPEN.
How does my perfectly good drivers license that's still good for years suddenly become invalid. Not revoked, suspended, stolen..... just invalid.
Heading to DMV once I post this, I'm sure it will be a disaster. They will tell me nothing is wrong and I'll be in limbo buying my firearms from some homeless guy under a bridge.
Hope that it gets worked out.
ReplyDeleteWorked out, computer error but now I have to wait for a new card to be mailed. Not sure why they can't print them at the location but I'm sort of patient.
DeleteMight be worth getting them as "private sales" anyway.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's better, I just can't find what I'm looking for and when I do people want more than new. I suppose people forget that it's not worth what they paid for it, as soon as they buy it.
DeleteWhen I was looking for a carbine, all the AR's were super pricey in the used market. The $600 carbine someone put $2000 more into doesn't make it worth $2600. To me anyhow.
Mine became invalid once because the personal information strip on the back was no longer able to be read when swiped on the machines. If you can't be tracked the government will do whatever necessary to put you back into their tracking system.
ReplyDeleteIt took forever to get off the no fly list, I'm just happy it wasn't something major. My new license will have a picture of me not smiling on it, I love DMV.
