Registration
So I bought a Taurus Judge, and needed to register it. I arrived at N. Las Vegas PD and went right to it.
Lady: “Oooh the Judge, isn’t this a shotgun?”
Me: “I think so, Not quite sure what all it shoots, pretty cool though.”
The lady gave me the form to fill out, and I started. She asked me what caliber it was, and I told her I don’t know, she said you may have to go to METRO.
To shorten the story, she really did not want to register it, and kept offering me the nearest METRO location. She went back and forth with me about the caliber, I asked her if it was important, and she said yes, very. I asked her, “if it is that important, why do they just take peoples word for it.” Her mood changed. She swept me with the gun several times (cylinder out) but gave me an uncomfortable awkward feeling. At the end of the 30+ mins. She refused to register it because I did not know the name of the person from whom I had purchased it. She would not give me my form, or her name. and when I asked for her supervisors name, all she gave me was a phone number that seems to go to a dead cell phone with no voicemail set up.
At my earliest convenience, I went to the NW area command, from what I hear of people’s experiences, they are the best. It started off good, but got real ugly again because I didn’t know who sold me the firearm. I was there for almost 2 hours, 4 people came in gave up everything, and were out with their “blue card” while I was there.
The first guy called my name. I came up and turned over my form. We started going through it as he was inputting the info. My employer info was left blank so he asked me, I told him “self” (I won’t be doing that again”) he asked for my next of kin, I gave him my sons name. (won’t be doing that one either.) then we got to the sellers name, and I said “first name Private, last name Party” he sat back for a sec and said how about unknown. He did his work, and came back with the form to sign and a “blue card” he asked me to check the card and make sure it was proper, I did and found that there was only one caliber listed. He said he would see if he could fix it.
While the first guy was gone there was an Asian Officer with what appeared to be a self inflicted gunshot wound ( in and out bandages left thigh, and right foot/ ankle in a cast.) and all in a line. Came over and said that they do not register guns to people who withhold information, and that he felt I was suspicious. I told him that I did not have aq name and would be lying if I gave him one.
He kept at it, I pulled my recorder out and put it by the window, he wanted to know why I was acting like a street attorney, I asked him for his name and P# we went back and forth, he never gave me his name, and I never gave him one either. He then said “I am not dealing with you anymore” But I am sending your firearm info to HQ and you will just have to wait.
I was on the phone with Timf343 and we had plans to have lunch. He ended up showing up for the last 5-10 mins. OC Cali style. The first guy saw that, and said “I will get you registered.”
Next time will be Much different. I will bring a tri- pod, video camera, voice recorder etc. and a lunch as well as reading material. I will put my gun and ID in the box, and sit down and wait. When they call me up for the form I will ask for the NRS that says I am required to participate, and go sit down. I will not sign anything that I get no copy of, If they want to make their registration obsolete, I will accommodate them.
