Single Shot Exemption Explanation/Database Thread

[lugnutwrench]

Just admit it, you are a gouger since charging anything is gouging. You should offer the service for free or perhaps pay people to do it for them. It should be free transfers for all!!

Oh yes, of course what you say is true. However, in this case, we have government-mandated gouging since it is the state who imposes the additional work and fees to begin with....

I am all for the free market and freedom to charge what the market will bear except when government mandates are the basis for the charges. We don't have a free market here. I would hate to speculate what a PPT would cost in most shops if the fees were not set by law. Of course the entire PPT process is unnecessary and antiquated at best. We should be able to do an instant background check without going to an FFL to sell a used gun if the state insists on such things.

At least some transfer FFLs were honest about their price increases. I was told by one that he so many transfers currently that can't keep up with the work. There are plenty of GB and other sales to keep him fully occupied.

The funny thing is that the government forces the FFL to give a discounted fee ($10), but still requires that the government gets their normal fee ($25).

It is interesting that many times when I am doing a transfer, the state gets more money through sales tax than I do, but I get to do all the work, including having to do the sales tax return at no cost, plus due to the forced rounding, I often have to send in more money than I collected for sales tax.

Silly citizen, you work for the collective, not yourself. Oh, you mean you didn't realize that and now you're no longer motivated to do a good job? We have methods of motivating you....

... After discussion with our attorney and others, it seems probable that most of the current legislation will pass ....

Sorry this is kind of a hi-jack, but is there anything we can do to fight passage of this legislation? I've already sent multiple emails to my representatives and gotten all the canned responses.

EBR works, I'm having a cz 75b stainless sent to a local ffl/gunsmith in oc. We need the parts for the SSE conversion. Could we get that stuff from you?

[zrunr]

Call OC Armory. They are the best at this at a very fair price.

While I'm sure they check the thread relatively often, you should really call them to find out.

Does OC armory do SSE conversions? 1911?

[MIW173]

Does any one out there do a SSE for a Micro Desert Eagle 380 ACP if so would love to get that info?? Thanks

[B16]

Just a quick question, but did the wording of AB169 change from a few weeks ago? I remember reading the bill and it mentioning the SSE, but now it seems to have been dropped.

Can anyone clarify?

[Duff45]

I think its still there and it passed out of the Assembly Public Safety Committee and now goes to the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

(2) Existing law makes the provisions defining and governing unsafe handguns inapplicable to a single-shot pistol, as specified.
This bill would instead make the provisions defining and governing unsafe handguns inapplicable to a single-shot pistol with a break top or bolt action. The bill would make this exemption inapplicable to a semiautomatic pistol that has been temporarily or permanently altered so that it will not fire in a semiautomatic mode. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
