re: La Concealed Carry question?? Advantages of lifetime vs the 5 year.

One of my best friends owns a pawn shop. I don't buy many new, I buy from individuals where there is no record. If I every have to give up weapons, I'll give up all the ones that I bought through a retailer.

You are a walking stereotype of the worst customers at a gun store. Can't tell you how many times I have had customers like you say dumb crap like this but then wear "Back the Blue" type shirts.

Sorry man, don't have any idea what you're meaning?

Buying privately in my state is not illegal, plus there is no registration law (in my state).

I have bought a few from retailers, if it comes down to it, I'll give those up. Most of mine were not bought from retailers though, I have no plans to declare those or give them up or register them.

If a squad of ATF agents show up to my door with a search warrant, I'm probably not going to fight them to the death though.

I don't think it will come to this in my lifetime (at most I got 30 years left), but there is a point in the future when confiscation or at least well controlled national regulation will happen.

That's odd, I just bought a gun two weeks ago and presented my Lifetime CCP with no background check wait. Now granted it is less than 5 years since I went to the Lifetime renewal. So just to be clear on what you're saying... Even though it expires and I have to go through the same process to renew a lifetime permit (FBI Background check to make sure I've committed no crimes in the previous 5 years) it makes the gun purchase check different than from the first five years of issuance?

I got no idea, but if you saying there is no record of you purchasing the firearm, that's great. I was with a buddy and he purchased a rifle in Vicksburg, MS He had his CCP, but still had to complete some paperwork (actually the store completed the paperwork by recording info from his CCP)?

I don't know, but if you are purchasing a firearm with a CCP and there is no recorded transaction going to the ATF, please let me know, that may change my opinion. I'm assuming this is in LA?

If I am wrong, I do apologize.

My reply was to a previous post… but no the paperwork for the transaction was completed. My comment was to the fact that the gun store doesn’t have to run the background check upon presenting a valid permit.

Open Letter to all Louisiana FFLs

quote:

---

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has reviewed the
Louisiana Lifetime Permit and determined that the permit meets the requirements as an
alternative to the NICS background check requirement only for the initial five-year period
beginning on the original issuance date. However, since the Louisiana Lifetime Permit is
not re-issued with an updated issuance date, the holder cannot continue to use their
“original” Lifetime Permit indefinitely as an alternative to a NICS background check.
After the initial five-year period, the Louisiana Lifetime Permit would no longer meet the
requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 922(t) as an alternative to a NICS background check. The
holder of a Louisiana Lifetime Permit would then be subject to a NICS check by a
Louisiana FFL for a firearm transfer occurring after the first five years of the issuance date.

I guess that settles that question, thanks for the info.
