Journal GMontag's Journal: Damn feds. The Benelli Saga 11

Journal by GMontag

Went to pick up the Benelli Nova Pump 20051 many miles from the office. Took half of the day off too.

Finally got to the VA store around 3:00 PM.

Showed TN Driver's license and TN vehicle registration.

Seller: "Oh noooooo, the ATF/FBI and VA State Police (or whomever the hell) want them both to have the same address."

Me: "Umm, well, TN does not re-issue a license every time you move but they keep the new address in their database. They charge extra to re-issue a license that is not even required. The address on the registration is the correct one."

Seller: "Do you have something else with one of these addresses on it?"

Me: "Yes, lots of stuff, be right back." I go and get old registrations, also get envelope with new address, etc.

Seller: "I'm sorry, it has to be something current with your driver's license address on it."

Me: "I don't live there any more, here is an envelope from the Department of Safety of Tennessee with the new address, it matches the registration."

Seller: "It has to have the driver's license address."

Me calls the Tennessee Department of Safety and asks if they will fax my current information to the store.

TN DoS: "No, we don't do that, but you can go into a testing station and have a new license with the current address issued for the standard fee."

Me: "Well, I am not near a station, I am calling from VA, but I will do that in a few days when I am there, if I can figure out when a station is actually open. Thanks anyway."

Me: "They don't fax DL info."

Seller: "You can go get a fishing license from a different business, like Wal-Mart, with your driver's license address and that will work."

Me: "HUH?"

Seller: "Yep."

Me travels to The Wal-Mart and gets a $6 freaking VA 5 day temporary fishing f****** license, returns, fills out National/International Socialist Busybody fedform bullshit. Being I am buying in VA I have to fill out a redundant VA form asking the same BS. Thanks John Fucking KKKerry and the jackesses in Richmond.

I then purchase a box of shells for the Saiga-12 and try to pattern the thing while I wait, and wait, and wait. BTW, there is no excuse for my missing any clay target. At 40 yards in both full choke and no choke, the paper was full of little 9-shot holes. Could have been a window screen after 5 rounds.

At 5:00 the range closes and the store is still open for ½ hr more.

5:30, closing time, still no word back from the Oppressive Overlords.

These GDMFrs have now wasted a full afternoon AND I now have to waste Saturday morning, if they get off their bureaucratic asses and "clear" me, to take possession of MY gun.

FUCK THE GUN GRABBING COMMIES!!!!!

Oh, btw, what crime is this preventing? From now on I will be buying my guns from individuals rather than dealers. No background check (the ones I always pass), no BS, no sales tax.

Well, I still have to pick up my son's birthday present in TN from a dealer, but the agency check is supposed to be good for 30 days. Will see how that one goes.

Bastards.

  • God, how I hate VA. Don't get me wrong, most of the people are nice enough (even though they can't drive for shit), but it rivals California in the stupid fucking laws department. I'm getting orders back to Quantico in less than a month when I get commissioned & I'm not looking forward to being in VA again.

    I guess I'll spend most of my time aboard base, just like the last time I was stationed there. Now, if I could only find a way to get to Woodbridge, Arlington, and Richmond that didn't involve US-1 (
    • Well, VA got a lot better after 1 July. When I get a Tennessee Handgun Permit I will be able to carry more places in VA than I can back home! Plus, you now can carry open in many more places in VA than in TN.

      Otherwise, yea, lots of crap in VA.

        Got to love consealed carry permits.

        Crazily enough quite liberal Washington State in many ways has some of the better firearms laws in the country. Not as good as AK or VT (and what is up with that?) though. For example we had a sane concealed carry permit process long before it was fashionable for m
  • I fail to see how this can in any way be Kerry's fault. VA is republicrat turf, and WTF, it has never taken me that long to buy a gun. 10 minutes tops, on a bad day.

    Well, one more thing to adjust to having moved back into the northeast I guess.
    • I fail to see how this can in any way be Kerry's fault.

      Two words: Brady Bill [conservative.org].

      • The extended waiting is Virginia's fault, not the feds. To buy a rifle or shotgun from a dealer you just need to go through a NICS(yes, brady bill, but so what?) check which takes next to no time at all.
        • No, it is not "extended waiting" of VA, it is the Kerry/Brady bill at play, combined with the typical VA "Commonwealth" employee retard mindset that is the same stupidity that you find at any DoT or DoS.

          Fuck this stupid place, I am going to try transferring the gun to TN and buy it in the real USA.
          • I take it VA is one of those states that conducts their own checks through their own state-run beuracracy.

            Try WVa in the future, if it's an option(I don't feel like pouring over firearms laws right now). It never took me more than 10 minutes to go through the whole process for a rifle or shotgun and all I had to have was a valid driver's license.

            Which is interesting, because the damned federal NICS center is IN WVa.

            Funny that it is such a problem in VA. My understanding (I've never bought a gun from a dealer) is in Washington State the experience is much more like what buffer-overflow describes. Walk in, show ID, wait no more than a few minutes for the check and walk out with your firearm.

            I don't know if Washington
