Safe Handling Demonstration

[kemasa]

Note: There was a last second (or past last second) change. It turns out that there is a copyright on the video, so the CA DOJ needs to grant me a license in order to allow me to give it to people. This paperwork should be done today and once that is done, I will allow access.

I finally was contacted by the right person and was given permission/told that there were no issues with giving out copies of the HSC video, converted from VHS to a DVD iso file.

You can access it at:

http://www.net-ffl.com/hsc/

I was told that they are in the process of updating the video, but it will take quite some time to do so. They will be making the updated video available on the CA DOJ Firearms website. Since it is the government, it might take quite some time until it is done. In the meantime, you can make use of this converted video.

You should be able to download it and watch it on your computer or create a DVD from the iso file.

Thanks for your efforts. I have the iso and it takes about 5 minutes to make a dvd, ymmv, but it's going to be good to be able to loan a customer a dvd, they can watch at home on tv or pc and then take the test. I'm still waiting for somebody to ask to borrow the vhs...

Has the link been removed? I can't figure out which one is the .iso.

[kemasa]

Yes, as I mentioned, the link has been removed for a bit (see first paragraph). I had received approval, then I later got a call back saying that there is a copyright on it and so they needed to have a license agreement signed. I received the agreement, signed it, scanned it and sent it back, BUT they did not sign the copy that they sent me, so until I get that, it is delayed a bit.

It should be soon and at least progress is being made.

FYI: I got the copyright license agreement, but I have not received the pdf file for the label. For the most part the label is not needed, but if anyone makes a DVD, it should be there. Due to a medical issue, the DVD label is delayed, so hopefully next week everything should be good to go. Sorry about the delay, but at least the CA DOJ is working on this and trying to get it all done in a timely manner, showing that who is assisting you at the DOJ makes a huge difference.

The DOJ is going to be by here on Friday, so I'll ask about it.

You'd think you were asking for the rights to Gone with the Wind or something... ;-)

The State of California has a habit of selling rights to their publications to commercial publishers rather than reproduce them themselves. For instance Barclays has the rights to the California Code of Regulations and they are the only ones who can distribute them. I don't know if the same is true for the video.

[kemasa]

The process is moving forward, which is much better than when I was talking to the other person who seemed to be doing very little, other than relaying the question incorrectly and finally scheduling it to be discussed in a meeting which had not been scheduled yet and thought that was something.

The pdf label is really not much to worry about, but per the agreement it needs to be put on a DVD and while I can not force someone, I really need to make it available. It should be a short delay, especially considering the previous delay.

Ok, finally everything has been dealt with and the webpage is now "live".

Great job ! Thanks for all your efforts in dealing with the bureaucracy.

[kemasa]

You are welcome. I hope people can make use of it.

[TripleT]

I have already burned a couple of loaner dvd's and anyone that questions if they can pass the test will be welcome to take one home to play on their computer or tv to assist them.

[kemasa]

I hope you put the required label on them. The DOJ was talking about make a new label, but in the end decided to use the old label, which makes sense since that is the proper label for the video.

Printed 'em, pasted 'em. Legal once more !

http://www.net-ffl.com/hsc/hscengo.iso link is broken, unless I am doing something wrong.

[kemasa]

Sorry, I changed the permissions to prevent downloading and forgot to change it back. It should work now. I had changed the initial webpage, but that does not prevent access to the files if people knew the exact link.

Please try it again.
