missing finger

[deerhtr]

what would the effect be if i was missing my right index finger when i went to livescan

 

[snavematt]

Like physically?

 

[deerhtr]

yes sir, lost it in 1999

As of May 19, 1986, people with missing fingers are prohibited from owning NFA weapons.

j/k. I'm sure that they make note of that while printing you and just send it in. You can't be the first person printed who has a "I lost this little guy while ......." story.

 

[snavematt]

Yeah shouldn't be a problem

 

[deerhtr]

thank you gentlemen for your timely replies

 

[Hotrod Diesel]

So your not going to give the story?

Pics or it didn't happen...?

 

[deerhtr]

here you go, the story is a stupid man versus machine moment

The person taking the prints will just have to enter in that finger as an exemption into the system for that finger. It's no big deal as long as the operator enters it BEFORE he begins taking your prints.

there is a spot on the hard cards for annotation of missing or disfigured digits not sure how live scan does it, my guess is they just add it to the information they send with the prints.

Not sure what they use for NFA, but on some old cards, I've seen where there is a checkbox or similar for 'missing digit'.

Out of curiosity, what adjustments have you made when handling and shooting firearms?

I'm sorry but as soon as i read the first post i thought of this...

Hangover II
Teddy: "By the way, do you have any idea where my finger is?"
Stu: "Yeah, we gave it to a drug dealing monkey."

I had Soldier in my unit who didn't have any ridges on his finger tips. The guy was a laborer who worked outside with tools and digging ditches. Shake his and was like raw course sandpaper. He had the hardest darn time getting his clearance. They investigated him for months, they thought he got rid of his prints on purpose.
