Dave, I wasn't referring to you about being difficult. And by the way, I'm not making policy about checking serial numbers at the gate. That IS coming from the show manager who is given that authority by the directors. No, I'm not making the policy. I'm also not in a position to do so. But what difference does that make? Again, it's different than the police running a S/N to see if the gun is stolen. If we were to see a specific gun that was reported stolen then we would check the S/N against a known stolen S/N on a piece of note paper, to see if it was that gun. If the S/N isn't correct, we're not keeping the number of the gun we're checking, just checking it against the number that we have. Nothing gets recorded or put on any list. Quit acting like private security is the same as police.
What's the difference if an employee at a gun shop is doing a deal/trade with a customer? If the gun shop had a list of stolen S/N's and spotted a potential match, wouldn't they check that out? It's clear that this is an anti-WAC attitude since no one is saying anything about gun shops checking for the exact same thing.
Now seriously, all I did was offer what assistance I can to one of our fellow OC'ers to help him possibly find his gun, and two of you are jumping down my throat because of WAC policies. C'mon guys, give it a rest already.
