I was happy when I saw it on the news, but after finally going through the opinion I'm a bit cautiously optimistic.
The court held that San Diego's "good cause" requirement was an impermissible burden because San Diego didn't consider general self-defense as sufficient "good cause". But it's...
While I agree that the lower is the registered part, I'm concerned that if it's registered as 5.56 and not "multi", and a cop somehow notices it with an upper with a different caliber than 5.56, this could cause trouble.
Call me paranoid, I know.
Silly question from someone who's never bought a lower:
If a lower is marked 5.56 and not "multi" (e.g., Stag and CMMG lowers), will it be registered as 5.56? (Or does it depend on the FFL?)
To play it safe, I'd rather have one that's registered as "multi".
1) If you own an (unregistered) HBAR now, is there a possibility that purchasing a new non-HBAR upper after 10/1 and slapping it on the lower could be considered "manufacturing" and thus a no-no?
A buddy of mine doesn't own any ARs, but is eyeing an HBAR, even though it won't be banned...
Aye, no 40 rd pmags. Even at the place in the far right corner with the huge "CLIPS" (lol) sign.
Seeing more Tavors nowadays. DK something-or-other had a black 16" for about ~$2000, and a guy straight up the middle from the entrance about 4 tables in had 16" and 18" black and FDE for $2099...
They define "rent" as "the temporary transfer for consideration of a regulated firearm that is taken from the property of the owner of the regulated firearm."
So if you rent at the range, and you aren't taking it off the premises, you should be ok as far as "renting". "Receive" is a bit vague...
Is the OAL less than 29 inches? If so, I think it'll be banned as a "copycat".
Edit: NM, if it's the Masterpiece Arms MPA1SST, it looks to be 31.75 inches.
There is language regarding initiating a purchase before 10/1, but only regarding the soon-to-be-banned firearms: "purchase order for, or completed application to purchase an assault long gun or a copycat weapon before October 1, 2013."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see anything...
I was wondering about that too. The law says that a HQL is required to "purchase, rent, or receive" a handgun. "Receive" isn't defined, but one interpretation is that even if a handgun purchase is initiated prior to 10/1, you can't "receive" it after 10/1 without a HQL.
ROFLMAO.
I just keep the invoices with the dealer names. I figure even if they question the authenticity of the invoice, the dealer should have a record of purchase in their bound 4473 book.
