A thought about LG registration and OLL's

[IGOTDIRT4U]

If and when it becomes law and withstands any challenges, would it be to our best interests to voluntarily register our previously purchased OLL rifles?

The strategy here would be to put pressure on LEO to acknowledge them and the numbers of them.

[Wolverine]

You can do that now if you wish using the voluntary registration.

ETA: Eventually (10+ years?) when a significant number of rifles that LEO come in contact with are registered there might be an advantage to having yours registered. It's like that with handguns now. Some LEO don't realize that handguns don't need to be registered and finding one raises their suspicions unnecessarily. It is also possible that further legislation will carve out new regulations that distinguish between registered and unregistered long arms. Kind of like the penalty for unlicensed concealed carry now distinguishes between registered and unregistered handguns or the requirement that LTC handguns be registered to LTC holder.

• OLL rifles are normal, legal unrestricted rifles just like Rem 700s, regular-stocked Mini14s, 10/22s, etc.
  .
• An OLL rifle showing up on an LEO's MDT screen may possibly avert drama.
  .
• But OLL drama is quite rare now, esp. considering the number of OLL rifles out there now - and in frequent use.
  .
• Really, it's a matter of your personal discretion. For numerous reasons, there will not be any 'clawbacks' like
  past SKS-style fiasco, etc.
  .Dep
• Depending on fees and your discretionary income, you are free to register as many sheetmetal items as you wish :-)

I do believe that volregging your OLL could have some... interesting... benefits.

Gene I sure am glad you are on our side

I have a few OLLs and will most likely throw a few of them on the volreg list just in case. I already own NFA items and a few handguns bought after the 90s so no harm as far as i can see.

Id like to try to get the AUGA3 on that list, then I can bring it back into the state. Right now I don't need a headache so I kept out of state next to my tax stamps.

Like Bill said, the drama has gone down because a lot more Cops are on this forum(or were scolded by cgf) and know the law but there can always be one that will pull the ol' "Is that registered to you?" trick on me and I will have the OB Wan wave for them.

Assault Weapon related? That's what I'm guessing.

I would be stoked.

On a side note, if everyone volreg every OLL we would know know how many we managed to get in under Iggys and Allisons watch.

Just let us know when to begin...

So I take it the long gun registration bill passed?
I see that the uoc bill went through, what about the ammo registration?

[oldrifle]

I don't see how "volregging" an OLL rifle can make it a RAW. If the AWB was in effect when you built it, it can never be a RAW, correct?

Son of AB962 was the only one that was vetoed.




This year.

Don't expect DeLeon and his cronies to give up. He got it to Brown's desk this year. Fully expect him to be taking JB to lunch to find out what his objections are and how he can rewrite it to pass a veto.

What is this "sheetmetal" stuff you keep referencing?

Care to elaborate on that?


I should add that I feel we are in good hands with you guys on our corner. Many thanks!

Not yet, but soon.
