CT already looking to grant amnesty to get more registrations.

[Bennettjh]

Color me shocked.

I heard that all the misplaced registration mailings ended up in one gal's office. I'd suggest that the CT politicians go to Hellan' Hunt for 'em.

Connecticut Pols Blame Underwhelming Gun Registration Figures on Postal Glitches, Propose Amnesty - Hit & Run : Reason.com

That's hilarious. The incompetence of these people is amazing. I mean how could all of those boating accidents have gone totally unnoticed?

 

[ashby koss]

I'm rather surprised that instead of low numbers of actual firearms, that they were not swamped to the hilt with registrations for nailguns, staple guns, glue guns, etc... Perhaps that kind of mockery is just my style though.

This is heartwarming. Kind of reminds me of a couple of books I just finished. I think the author's name was Matthew Bracken

I wish I could find some of these comments funny but I can't. I am a connecticut resident. I am a teacher and I was a police officer when I bought the gun and magazines that I own. My gun had to be registered long ago because it "was bad". Now I have had to register the Magazines. It is hard when your state makes you feel like you committed the horrible act that happened here. The state is run by democrats and our voices were not heard. When I went into register my magazines I was asked if was turning in my rifle I held my tongue and politely replied no. My brother turned his paperwork in on the last day. You would not believe the line I drove because he was as sick as a dog. My brother and I did what we did because we still believe in our country and follow the laws.

Foremost, welcome to INGO.

I still believe in my country as well (just not the politicians) and that's why I will never register any gun or magazine and any politician who says I have to can kiss my ass!!

Good luck to you Ungie, hopefully enough people will wake up in your state and put the turds making your laws out on the unemployment line!

 

[Ungie]

Yes our governor is going have to rethink things quickly. I did register everything. When any Magazine that is over 10 rounds has to be registered there would be many more registrations. By the way we also have to have a license to purchase any kind of ammo. Keep a vigil and don't let this happen to you!

You are a newbie so I shall not go off, but lets say unjust laws are evil and should not be followed.

Definately, Welcome to INGO! As you can see not all of us are in IN. ( INGO follows you everywhere!)
Interesting to see what has transpired in CT and NY. Stop giving MA more ideas!!!!!!

Let me know if you want to shoot one day. MA still issues hi-cap licenses.......( pre-ban mags of course)
Also you will find INGO welcoming and friendly. Tamer than Northeast Shooters.....those guys are animals!

 

[Birds Away]

Hi cap licenses? What kind of hoops do you have to jump through for that? How do they determine whether it is pre-ban or not? Incredible!

 

[Classic]

Welcome to Ingo from NE Indy!

Sorry for your situation. Hope you get better results in the next election up there.

 

[Cygnus]

Hi cap licenses? What kind of hoops do you have to jump through for that? How do they determine whether it is pre-ban or not? Incredible!

Months of research........before you move......small law fees ( just cause I didnlt want to mess up).
Hell, you need a license to buy ammo but they don't track it. ( Well DICK'S does in MA)

Getting a hi-cap is what is needed to carry. A Class A license allows concealed carry and pre-ban ( Thanks Mitt!) hi-caps. You MUST apply for the A if you want to carry. Then the local police interview you ( still technically a shall issue) and decides if they want to add restrictions to your A or deny the A and give you a B. All on the whim of the local PD cheif. Luckily ( or stRategically) I live in a friendly town. So not hoops so much as fifedoms. Plus I. have not done anything REAL stupid in my past. That helps alot.

As far as how do they tell it's pre-ban....who knows. I hearburden is on the state but who wants to go through that? Best bet here is to buy local and keep the receipt. Of course Ruger P series mags before the ban had a metal base and are OK here ( no that is not a hint to PM me!)

 

[Birds Away]

Go west, young man, go west. Just not too far.

 

[Cygnus]

Actually in New England it's go north, to NH. Same Brady rating as IN.......

I do miss the cheap prices and open spaces of Rousch........sigh


Edit: Vermont would work too. For all it's crazy leftness, they have NO gun laws. Federal law only, consititutional carry etc.

So how badly do you miss Indiana: completely, or just incredibly?

Well, I am jealous of the gun show ads. There are 2 or 3 a year within driving distance. Funny thing you could NOT tell the difference in crowds if you didnlt know you were in MA. 85% of the people look like MI or IN "gun show" people.
I see threads like SALEM OR LOWELL GUN SHOW and I get excited then I am like oh wait.....wrong state!

Wrong State in more ways than one. Ever consider coming back to the Who'sYer(Daddy) State?

@ Ungie: Sorry to hear of your plight, this is just plain wrong you and other CT residents have to go through that because of what happened in Newtown. Remember 1994? A bunch of liberal politicians were fired by the American people right after the assault weapons ban went into effect. It can happen again and if it does, hopefully the Republicans (TEA party Republicans, not Establishment types I hope) won't blow it like they did back then.

If you believe we live in a country of laws, not men, work to change the laws. And don't rule out civil disobedience like Dr. King used. I put carrying a "banned" weapon or magazine but not using it for violent purposes other than to defend oneself squarely into the civil disobedience category.
