Gun Owners of America analysis of current House Bills:
H.R. 17, H.R. 45, H.R. 197, H.R. 442 & H.R. 495

H.R. 17 (Bartlett): This bill would reaffirm the right to use firearms for self-defense and for defense of one’s home and family.

H.R. 45 (Rush): This bill would require a license for handguns and semiautomatics, including those currently possessed. The applicant must be thumbprinted and sign a certification that, effectively, the firearm will not be kept in a place where it would be available for the defense of the gun owner’s family. The applicant must also make available ALL of his psychiatric records, pass an exam, and pay a fee of up to . The license may be renewed after five years and may be revoked. Private sales would be outlawed, and reports to the attorney general of all transactions would be required, even when, as the bill allows, the AG determines that a state licensing system is sufficiently draconian to substitute for the federal license.

Dont be stupid. Any infringment on our constitutional right is a bad thing. not a good thing, and one more thing read the whole bill. WAKE UP AMERICA, this is not right, The Oath our politcians take when they get into office is to DEFEND our rights, not take them away. They cant just change the constitution because they think it is ok. They are traitors. If they take your guns what will they take next. YOU really think they will stop at one of your rights. If you do you are uneducated and you dont understand your rights. Just because I believe that blacks should be slaves doesnt make it right. They deserve to be free because the constitution grants that right. Same with guns. It doesnt matter what the people say, The constitution should not be treated like an old outdated set af rules, it is a living document that should not be infringed on

I want to get a C&R license and its my first time applying, I came across a few problems while filling out the form. I when to the local PD for help but they said they’ve never seen a form like that before. They also didn’t know who the Chief LEO is.

So I’m hoping someone here can help me?

One question 10: Non-immigrant alien certification of compliance with USC 18… etc,
I’m a US citizen, do I need to fill out any part of #10 A, B, or C? Because on C it asks "are you in possession of a valid hunting license of permit lawfully issued in the US?" followed by "if you answered NO, you likely cannot lawfully possess a firearm and therefore cannot be a federal firearms licensee". I don’t have a valid license right now, and I’d rather not have to spend alot of money to get one in order to get a C&R. does Question 10 apply tome at all?

List #14, requires me to make a copy to local Chief LEO or Sheriff, does that mean city CLEO or county CLEO? If I drop by the county courthouse and go to the county sheriff’s dept can I get help there? is that the CLEO I give my copy to?

List #15, "title": what does that mean?

and finally to apply for a C&R license, is this the only form I fill out?

-thanks

Ok, I am thinking about getting the Federal Firearms License For Collectors – The Curios and Relics License (C&R FFL)

I know that its for a gun collector so can I buy a new gun like a glock from a wholesale dealer online or is the FFL-3 only to buy guns 50+ years old ?

Thanks.

I have tried checking with several sources; some say that the required age for a Federal Firearms License is 18, others say 21. I have also read that different ages are required for purchasing certain types of firearms (shotguns, handguns, rifles and respective ammunition). Does anyone with experience in this field know what the correct required age (for each, if necessary) is?
I’ve always been a legal citizen and have no criminal record, so no factor other than age (I’m 17) prevents me legally from being able to hold a license.
I am particularly interested in rifles, such as assault rifles and battle rifles in .308 Win, 7.62mm, etc. Are there any other requirements for these types of firearms?

In 1991 when I was 18, in California, I was arrested with a group of guys outside an apartment complex. 3 of the guys had just done a "beer run" but no one pointed fingers so the cops took all 5 of us in. I was fingerprinted and booked, then released. The following morning my uncle and I went down to the police station and spoke with the police chief at the time, and told him my role and the whole story of what went on. The chief of police said he would take care of the case. That was nearly 20 years ago, so I don’t remember exactly what was said. That was the only criminal thing I have ever been charged with. I haven’t even had a traffic ticket in 10 years(knock on wood).

I never received anything from the court, and a follow up inquiry into my criminal record revealed nothing. I have since had several background checks, like a Certificate of Firearms Eligibility where I was Livescanned for the FBI and DOJ, and I received my COE without a single issue. At 21, I also applied for a Correctional Officer position and I made the first cut of 80 people with a 1000+ applicants. I was called in for a physical and interview, and eventually a 2nd interview 6 months later(which I blew off as I was snowboarding in Colorado and had no plans to ever return to CA). If there was a problem with my record, I imagine my application would have been tossed in the first cut of applicants.

If you are still with me, I’ll fast forward to the present. I am in the process of applying for my Class 03 Federal Firearms License(Curio and Relic) and I just received a letter from the BATF stating that I had an arrest for Petty Theft Retail Merchandise but there is no final disposition of charges. They are asking for a final disposition of charges from the court or a disposition of charges from the arresting agency(the police department was absorbed by the Sheriffs department 10 years ago). In the letter I received, the BATF has not rejected or threatened to reject my application but they do say in 45 days without documentation clarifying the disposition of charges for this incident, that my application will be considered abandoned and my fee refunded.

So my question is, since there was never any final disposition of charges, can I have both the charges and the arrest expunged? Do I need a lawyer to do this and if not where should I start? Also what agency or courthouse department should I talk to first to get the final disposition of charges documentation on official letterhead, in order to satisfy the BATF’s request?
I forgot to mention, that I am still a California resident.
Dr. Phil as far as I know, I have no case number for this arrest. I never received anything from the court regarding the arrest. I have never been to court for this arrest or anything else criminal in nature. I have never spoken with a DA. Like you I have made several firearm purchases, as well as some pretty thorough background checks, and I have never been made aware of any problem with my record until now.
