Quoted: When I sell a firearm, I always stipulate that I will not do business with anyone in states like CT (can't remember who's on the list right now, it's getting longer. I have it on file). The purpose of the transaction when I sell is to make money. Usually to buy another firearm. Since I have NEVER had a problem finding a buyer in a free state, I feel NO need to research the bizarre gun laws of places like Connecticut or New York, or call anybody's Attorney General. Oppressive derp? Are you kidding me? There are AT LEAST two dozen free states in this country, places where men and women see firearms as tools to hunt, compete, and defend themselves, places like Wyoming, where this right, and preemption, is written in to the State Constitution. We are buying and selling firearms every day, without looking over our shoulders. WHY should we bother with you? When I list a firearm I occasionally get emails crying about how I won't deal with someone ("It's perfectly legal!"). When I bother to respond it's to point out that, last time I visited their state, their government hadn't yet built a fence around it to keep people in. This, from a guy who grew up in Brooklyn, and is doing very well in Wyoming.

I'm still glad "my' lowers are out there in California somewhere in circulation, like a pebble in the shoe of cocksucking mother fucking gun grabbing turds. I wish I could have flown over California parachuting AR15s into the state. In 2004 when the federal assault weapon ban ended guys sold me pre bans cheap because NY still had a state assault weapon ban. I'm tempted now to get those pre bans in CT since they're just squirrelled away now. But the site, and the world I guess, has changed. It's easy to type Molon Labe, but cowardice reigns and maybe rightfully so for some people. Maybe California will try to sue me or arrest me, maybe a bear will eat me, maybe I'll get hit by the Hostess Ho Ho truck on the way to court in ten minutes. I'll keep trying to fuck with gun grabbers. You hide in Wyoming. to each their own. |

It's in the statute, they wrote that on the FAQ to scare people into thinking exactly what you do. Its fucked up. I'm looking for it right now. The Military exemption is the only perfectly clear part of the new law. |

The Military exemption is the only perfectly clear part of the new law. Sec. 53-202d: "Any person who moves into the state in lawful possession of an assault weapon, shall, within ninety days, either render the weapon permanently inoperable, sell the weapon to a licensed gun dealer or remove the weapon from this state, except any person who is a member of the military or naval forces of this state or of the United States, is in lawful possession of an assault weapon and has been transferred into the state after October 1, 1994, may, within ninety days of arriving in the state, apply to the Department of Public Safety for a certificate of possession with respect to such assault weapon." In my line of work, may=optional. Still no blanket exemption |

I sold a couple AKs to an active duty mil in CT after their ban and was happy to do it. I wasn't taking on any extra risk, and although it took a little extra time to make sure I was in the clear legally, I felt good about helping out another shooter and thumbing my nose at the idiots in the CT legislature. |

(3): A member of the military or naval forces of this state or the United States; or Under the old ban, you had to register and get an AWB certificate within 90 days. This is no longer the case. |

I don't think some of these guys view us as brothers anymore. There is some schadenfreude in GD where people delight in the misfortune of gun owners in ban states, thinking they are eternally safe in some red state. Quoted:

Years ago it was legal in CA to buy "off name' lowers, like Mega or whatever with less restrictions than I guess the guns named specifically in some California law, like Colt. A lot of dealers were scared to ship lowers to California. I sold all my post ban off name (or whatever it's called) lowers to guys in California for whatever it cost me to replace them at the time. The lowers all went to FFLs. I don't know if the guy was a cop, regular guy or Darth Vader, the FFL I shipped it to was responsible for making sure the transferee was entitled to possess that lower under federal and California law. I didn't need those lowers, I bought more obviously. I'm still glad "my' lowers are out there in California somewhere in circulation, like a peddle in the shoe of cocksucking mother fucking gun grabbing turds. I wish I could have flown over California parachuting AR15s into the state.

If you have followed my posts at all, you will understand that I routinely engage in physically risky behavior. For fun and profit. FYI, I DID actually sell a lower to a guy in CT about five years ago. It was an old Olympic Arms SP-1 that I'd put enormous number of rounds through. For some reason I hadn't included my usual disclaimer, and found that the thing was bid to like five times what it was worth. I found out it was an evil "pre ban" in CT, and apparently worth its weight in gold. In that case, I went for it, since there was an enormous payoff. I was able to turn around and buy a complete match rifle. Now, you'll probably say I took advantage of the poor, oppressed Connecticutian (sic?). I f**k with gun grabbers by denying them the ability to tax my assets and income. I f**k with gun grabbers by doing FTF sales regularly. there are probably a hundred firearms in this country that are on nobody's books because of me. I f**k with gun grabbers by training new shooters, Americans and foreigners, in everything from .22 single shots to full auto. That is my hobby, AND my part time job. We each have our strategy. As you say, to each his own. |

Thanks for selling it here! i see the prices going down . people aren't willing to pay top dollar anymore |

Quoted: Aimless, my man, you are confusing "cowardice" with "common sense". No need for insults. If you have followed my posts at all, you will understand that I routinely engage in physically risky behavior. For fun and profit. FYI, I DID actually sell a lower to a guy in CT about five years ago. It was an old Olympic Arms SP-1 that I'd put enormous number of rounds through. For some reason I hadn't included my usual disclaimer, and found that the thing was bid to like five times what it was worth. I found out it was an evil "pre ban" in CT, and apparently worth its weight in gold. In that case, I went for it, since there was an enormous payoff. I was able to turn around and buy a complete match rifle. Now, you'll probably say I took advantage of the poor, oppressed Connecticutian (sic?). I f**k with gun grabbers by denying them the ability to tax my assets and income. I f**k with gun grabbers by doing FTF sales regularly. there are probably a hundred firearms in this country that are on nobody's books because of me.

You don't like gunowners in CT, you're scared of CT cops, whatever whatever. Edit I certainly have no problem with someone selling a firearm for whatever the market will bear. Not ones giving away registered machine guns |

I don't think some of these guys view us as brothers anymore. There is some schadenfreude in GD where people delight in the misfortune of gun owners in ban states, thinking they are eternally safe in some red state. Quoted:

snip Do your homework, make sure it's legal, and help your brothers stuck behind enemy lines. I sold a couple AKs to an active duty mil in CT after their ban and was happy to do it. I wasn't taking on any extra risk, and although it took a little extra time to make sure I was in the clear legally, I felt good about helping out another shooter and thumbing my nose at the idiots in the CT legislature. Which is a goddamned disgrace and very politically shortsighted. The antis are going to pick off individual states until they can use those wins to tilt the balance in congress. I'm sure there were some progun congressmen from upstate NY. Now, I doubt they'd put their neck on the line for a vote in congress that won't affect their constituents one bit because of the state law. |

Those who wanted pre bans, bought them, the demand is lower these days. They still move pretty quick those, hell, Delta Arsenal is on this very site buying up every pre ban he can find and flipping it at two to three times what he paid for it. I'm sure there are others. |

Top/insane dollar, no, but often 2-3 times what the beat-to-hell gun would bring in Nebraska? Sure.
Now that we can have pre'94 AK/Thompson/Uzi, etc. the buying field has exploded and lowered prices since it's not all about sometimesobscure non-Colt AR lowers any more. |

I'm thinking about selling my HK MR762A1, but unfortunately, the buyer is in CT state... home of nasty AWB. The buyer told me that he's a active duty military police and can purchase any "assault" firearms & "normal" capacity magazines as if he's in any other "free" state. He further stated that he could send me a copy of the statute and I could also verify it with his FFL if needed. I thought only official duty weapon is allowed to purchase even for active duty military and a letter is often issued by Commissioner prior to possession. The buyer told me that no such letter is needed. I'm not familiar with crazy CT state gun laws and not sure what to do. Should I tell him adios~ or is it legal to sell and ship it to his FFL? In Connecticut, military and police are allowed to buy and own unregistered assault weapons and mags for on duty or off duty use. Military just need to show their CAC and permit to buy them. Police, but not military, need a letter from their department authorizing purchase (for weapons). He does not need to register them with DESPP until he separates from the military (he'll have a 90 day window to register them when that happens). |

"Active duty military police" in CT? There's only New London (USN sub base) and 3 USCG facilities (including the USCG Academy) in CT. "Military police" are Army = the only "active duty" Army in CT would have to be someone that was either assigned to New London for some reason or AGR (Active Guard / Reserve - a very small number of NG and USAR full-time, mostly admin people). Military can possess "assault weapons" as part of their official duties - but an "active duty military police" isn't going to be authorized to carry a privately owned weapon as part of his official duties. I see people think there is a blanket exemption for any sort of military in CT. As Aimless says, what happens after it gets to the FFL is not your concern. |

yes all is true. i would make sure the buyer includes his military id when buying Not so legal to copy a CAC. He would probably need to show military orders He shows the FFL his CAC card, if the seller wants confirmation send an email from his Enterprise .mil account. Done, easy. |

I'm a CT FFL. He's not lying. The way the law is written LEO an MIL can buy assault weapons. LEO needs a letter from the chief. MIL doesn't need anything. Can you post either the statute number or a link to the military exemption? I cant seem to find it in writing and getting stationed in CT in a few months and trying to find best option for my assault guns.

Here's why, you are reading the original law, not the "fixed" one. After they banned everything they realized they forgot to ban .22 rifles, so they fixed it.

Let the royalty get a toy the dirty peasants cant? FUCK NO For police? Maybe. The mil is a different story. They are sent there and usually not by choice. I'm fine with it.
