I’m in the military and I was given a couple of rifles and a handgun when my grandfather pasted away. The guns have been stored with my father in nebraska for years because I have been stationed overseas. The guns are not registered that I know of and a couple are older. I would like to have them with me when I get stationed in Texas this summer.
Before I deployed to Iraq out of Ft.Hood I bought a couple of rifles. I am still in Iraq,am active duty. When i get back can i still buy firearms like i used to before i went. To clarify I was able to go to the gun store and show my military ID and orders proving I am stationed in Texas. Is this still the norm for military buyers at gun stores? Do all gun stores do this. Will i be still able to go with my orders and id card and buy firearms?
Whats this i hear about having to get CHL just to buy a handgun? I have no intention on concealed carrying mine. Don’t you just have to be 21 to buy a handgun. I heard of a waiting period now too.
I read the gun laws in California and they say you cannot own a handgun at 18. However, if I’m in the military, I am still using firearms so it shouldn’t matter if I owned a handgun. Should it?
I don’t think people should be allowed to own assault rifles,snipers, and shotguns because those are just mean to fully kill. A standard handgun is ok but why sell military class weapons?
I inherited 2 rifles (a single and double barrel) and a hand gun from my father, when he passed away.
The story about them, as I understand it, goes like this:
A friend of his, was diagnosed with Cancer and did not want the rifles around, so he gave them to my father to "hold onto" for him. When he died, my father tried to give the rifles back to his son, who did not want anything to do with them and said keep them. That was almost 2 years ago.
The only documentation I have is some papers from the military that discharges the two rifles to my dad’s friend, years and years ago.
Now, I’ve got them and will be moving from California to Pennsylvania in about two weeks. What should I do with the rifles? Can I sell them? Pawn them?
Now, there is also a handgun that was my father’s. I want to keep that, and take it with me. Is there anything I need to do ahead of time or do I just take it with me when I drive cross-country?
Thanks in advance for any advice!!
I am talking about off duty, or on duty. If you are in a uniform or traveling are you allowed to carry a personal handgun?
Fighting boredom here.
Okay, here’s the scenario. The DOD has been reading your answers on the hunting section of YA and they were so impressed that they decided to hire you as their small arms consultant to completely redo their small arms inventory based on your recommendation.
So, what do you tell them? What rifle, handgun and calibers do they get? Don’t worry about money because Ben Bernanke said he will print whatever is needed. He’s got your back on this.
Great stuff everyone, and yes, if you think the current inventory is tops then let’s hear it.
sometimes i think people just join because its cool using the guns rather than pride for their country, lol. not saying anyone could buy them but say like a gun collector or maybe having a permit or license like how owning a handgun or shotgun is for hunting and things like that? i wouldnt even care if the assault rifle was loaded or not i would just be happy having the real thing. is it possible? thanks.
I was wondering if sniper rifles fell under the class III or whatever category. Or is it easier to get like a handgun? Thanks for all the help in advance! =]
The kind I’m talking about is the m40a3 and the likes.
