Hey all,
Noob Member here...
Great bunch of people, and lots of cool info, kudos, very nice site indeed.
Anyhow, I have an old M1911 Colt 45 ACP that's been collecting dust since
my dad passed away (15 years).
Dad said he got it from a friend of a friend and didn't wan't to register it for
fear the govt. would someday confiscate all our guns, (maybe, maybe not).
I've been afraid to try to register it because it says US Government Property,
and would be kept and melted down.
Or I will be fined for waiting too long to register.
But, I can't, (legally), sell it, carry it, shoot it, or transport it.
And it is rather useless as a boat anchor, cause it isn't heavy enough.
Might be worth $1000+ to a collector though...
Could use the cash for getting a 9mm for my future carry pistol.
Kinda like the CZ 75 P-01 & Sig P226, although kinda big for CC.
My current (legal) pistols are only 22cal.
Anybody have any experiences or info on this :question:
Oh, and what type of case is allowed to transport pistol to get registered ?
All I have are "soft cases", not lockable.
Just signed up for CPL class (for June maybe) to eventually get my CPL.
I'd hate to screw things up, having pistols without papers:banghead:
Thanks,
Paranoia
