Interesting Gunbroker Requirement

[clay_shooter]

This is the first time I've seen this for a C&R item.


"Maryland C&Rs also need to furnish their Regulated Firearm Collector Letter Copy"

 

[Gbh]

Another GB seller that doesn't know Maryland law.

I shall sell things on Gunbroker, and force buyers to send me a copy of their library cards.

I've seen it before with certain sellers. Haven't done business with any if them.

I've dealt with them two or three times in the past, and suspect that if someone called, and explained the laws (with references), they'd react favorably.

Never had a problem with RTP on items I've gotten which have the requirement in the description. Could be because I'm already on file, tho.

Anyone with that in the description of their items isn't getting my money. What a load of crap. There's plenty of sellers on GB that will take a C&R and C&R alone.

"Don't ascribe to malice that which can as easily be attributed to ignorance."

An old friend has used that as his e-mail signature line for decades (before the Internet). Try to look at it from the standpoint of the dealers. There are 50 states and thousands of municipalities, and lots of them have different laws. They have their businesses, fines, and even jail time at risk if they don't interpret something correctly. You don't. Call them, ask to speak to someone who has the power to look at the situation, explain the laws, and -- most important -- give them references so that they can see for themselves that you are correct.

But don't get a chip on your shoulder about this stuff. The gun dealers aren't the bad guys. They are caught having to deal with the same BS as everyone else. If you want to vent, fire off a letter to your local representatives and that poor excuse for a governor who's wasting space in Annapolis.

You're right, of course. I was just venting, sorry. The gun/gun owner hating Nazis in Annapolis couldn't care less about anything we say or have said the new laws confirm that. Our illustrious Governor has his eyes on the White House.
