Do you register your new firearms with the manufacturer?

[IndyS3]

Nope, I'm not giving the government any info.

Too late.

 

[hps]

I register mine

 

[Bunnykid68]

I register mine at Kohls and Walmart in hope of getting some wedding gifts

 

[Racechase1]

All mine are private sale, new and used. What the government doesn't know what hurt them. I won't register a thing.

 

[Mitchell0481]

Have not registered any.

 

[hooky]

The only issue I've ever had is with a used Ruger and there was no problem getting it fixed, even though it wasn't registered.

Never have, never will. I had a problem with a new shotgun where the choke tube key was missing from the box. I just called them and they mailed me one, even though I had not filled out the card. IF, a firearm proves defective, your store receipt will be enough.

 

[cfl4rat]

What, firearms... i dont have any so thats a no for me.

 

[Kagnew]

I think he means your LICENCE to Carry Handgun.

How would your LICENSE To Carry (a) Handgun be a method by which to track your firearms?

 

[Racechase1]

I don't think it would track your firearm. That said, if they day comes to take them, license holders will be one of the first places they visit.

I ALWAYS register a new firearm with the manufacture for the warranty alone. It has saved me hundreds in repairs that the manufacture paid for rather than me paying for them because i "didn't want a paper trail".

The State of Indiana is a implied warranty state. Meaning you don't have to send the warranty card to receive warranty service. A call to the manufacturer will tell you if the gun is recalled.

 

[No2rdame]

This is a good question. I'm guessing that if/when the gov decided to collect our toys, gun manufactures records would be open to them.

If it ever came to that, I'm quite sure the gun manufacturers would fight turning their records over to the government tooth and nail. Their lawyers would intervene, not to mention the legal support coming from the NRA.

 

[indytiger]

No, I will hear about recalls.

Thanks to a great forum.

 

[sepe]

Nope. On the ones I've bought new, I keep all the paperwork that comes with it as well as the original receipt and a copy. I have scanned the warranty cards and filled them in with the date of purchase and gun's info. Electronic file is made with pictures and the gun's info.

How would your LICENSE To Carry (a) Handgun be a method by which to track your firearms?

Best I can come up with is that they'd have reason to believe that you own firearms. I know that not everyone that has an LTCH owns. With private sales still being okay, even registering the warranty information doesn't really give much. I know that I've bought guns that people said were "registered with the manufacturer" and been told I could contact them if anything needed work...because they'd want to contact the manufacturer and let them know they sold it.

Some pretty paranoid people out there, imo.

 

[chubbs]

The couple companys that I've had to call didn't ask a thing about if I registered it or not. Most just need the sales receipt if anything. The warranty cards are just to get information on their buyers to help advertise or so they say, but I'm all ready buying their products so I don't think they need my info.

 

[Steve B]

Turn them in it doesn't matter. If the government decides to collect the info and use it it would be worthless. Gov at door: "We see you have guns as per this paperwork." You:"I sold them all in compliance with state law when I needed the money due to your p*** poor handling of our economy. BTW, thanks for that." Close door.

I registerd my SIG 238 and I am actually happy I did.
When you register with SIG, they send you special offers.
I got 3 7 rd. mags for $99.
Every once in a while, I get other offers.
I thought it was well worth it.

I registered the P250c I bought just after Christmas with SIG, and received the code for 20% off any accessories. Called a few days later to order extra magazines, rep notified me they were not honoring the discount code for magazines due to demand.

Still bought three magazines, thought I best get them while I can - and they were still less than what they were going for at the 1500 (of course).

 

[jaybird_123]

I usually register them for warranty reasons also. My luck is usually bad, so I try to CMOA.
