Don't mean nothing, I'm Just saying

Manassas ≠ Manassas Park

Two completely separate localities (Cities in this case) with completely separate police departments :)

ok here's the applicable fed and VA laws that were the subject of confusion:

18.2-309. Furnishing certain weapons to minors; penalty.
.......
B. If any person sells, barters, gives or furnishes, or causes to be sold, bartered, given or furnished, to any minor a handgun, having good cause to believe him to be a minor, such person shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony. This subsection shall not apply to any transfer made between family members or for the purpose of engaging in a sporting event or activity.
That's a sad commentary on how low we've sunk. My first gun was a Savage target rifle given me by my Fathers Law Partner.

Lucky it was before the Huns took over the state.:X

Do you still have the aforementioned Savage Target Rifle???

I have been looking high and low for a smallbore rifle for my 12 year old daughter and can't find one for under $1,000.... I'd REALLY like to find a used one if possible.

Yea... I kind of ... Um .... live here and know the boundaries very well. I also know that a call to one will produce a response from all.

The Manassas Park police responded to the Tony's incident that was the topic of this thread. :banghead:

Try www.cdnninvestments.com, download their latest catalog, and check page 40 for a used .22 taget rifle they're selling. You can call them to see if it meets your needs, and if so, find a local dealer to so the transfer, and Bob's your uncle.

lol. I bet that has a bit of awkward silent moments involved when it happens, or really short conversations.
There was one real awkward moment. When the cop asked for ID and we just sat there, nobody reached for there ID. That was a tense moment. Hyland's head was about to explode, he had no clue how to handle the situation and you could sense his anxiety mounting quickly.

Excepting people from this forum and VCDL members, I have yet to hear anyone's 2d hand version of the event being remotely close to what happened. People that heard the 'details' from the police, their versions were bloody insane.

Regarding the VA Arms clerk. At least now it is for 'political statement' vs 'they were lawsuit shopping'. &*^^% Why he agrees the police had a right to harass people for lawfully making a political statement I don't know.:cry:

I wasn't implying anything by my post,
I was under the impression that it was MCPD only since I saw nothing mentioning Manassas Park on the VCDL page that covers that topic.

Amazing site, Grape. Thank you again! Now I just need to find the $$$ to get one. Looks like the best chance of finding one is on that site. Saw a couple rifles, but we'll see how it goes.

To confirm it was Manassas City officers, although at least one, Hittel was a former Manassas Park officer. We had joked about going to Rack and Roll Billiards in MP, which was on the news at the time for the harassment they were getting from the MPPD
