Purchasing too many pistols

[Suther]

I remember a report about someone who was buying handguns and selling them to people who shouldn't have them.

He bought something like 83 guns in 6 months before someone said hey that's a lot of guns for one person and looked into it.

So you might attract attention, which would probably get you a phone call from the CFO. Or you might need to buy 20 times what you have to draw attention....

Edit : 47 guns in 5 months, 43 of which were sold to a "friend" who was acting as a middle man. At least 30 of these are unrecovered still.

Wife does not care I am taking her to cuba and am putting in a new kitchen and that cost a lot more then the 4 restricted I bought. Could have bought a BMG .50 with the money I spent on the trip, but then I would be single and paying child support lol.

Happy wife = happy life.

They are looking for 'straw purchases".

We're not buying straw Son, we're buying lots and lots of beau-tiful guns. Try to focus....

I have a number of handguns and other than the RCMP knowing I have them, it has never been an issue, so far. One interesting thing I found is when my wife phoned 911 when we had an attempted break in, the 911 operator phoned back in less than 60 seconds and asked where our firearms were, were any loaded, were they locked up etc. However, when the RCMP arrived, they didn't ask or mention it. I think they must have a protocol on knowing what they could face before they arrive on scene. If the CFO wants to do an inspection, I believe they have to give you notice, at least I believe that's the case.

The same thing has happened to me. I got into a car accident about 2 years back (no one else involved, just lost control of the car Ina gravel road and ended up in a ditch) and when I called the police to report it, they asked my if I had any firearms or ammo in the car. I told them I didn't but 3 cruisers showed up anyways.

Actually talked to my CFO, told me don't get collect is license, but over 10 restricteds the computer may flag you for a visit

bullpucky
i have a LOT of restricted's in the safe and ive never NEVER even had a phone call in the 30+ years ive had them, hell ive got near 10 just in my M&P collection and at least a dozen 1911's.
my dad has more then me and he has never had a phone call or visit either.

the day he goes off to the seniors lodge and i get his collection will be a interesting day on the phone with the CFO for me im sure.

Tell her you're applying for a job there.
