My buddy in Seattle was on Brownell's site, searching through local FFLs, and this came up. Seems really weird to me. Was anyone here aware of this?

These corporations will shit on the Bill of Rights and then use their influence and power to buy back the privileges for themselves. |

Their Redmond campus security isn't anything special and doesn't appear to be armed. Could be they have hidden tac teams but I doubt it. They own Redmond so redmond pd is always on speed dial.

I think now it’s under Vulcan something. Paul Allen had it, but was transferred to his other business ventures. I know it was for his Flying Heritage museum, so they could handle the hardware for the planes at first, now planes and tanks. It’s actually a 07/02.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought an FFL had to be in the business of selling firearms? You must be involved in the business. That does not necessarily mean retail sales to customers. It's far easier from a legal liability standpoint for a large corporate security office to hold an FFL than to deal with the responsibility of one person going and buying Glocks at an FFL. Their business is providing armed security to the rest of the organization, which they would otherwise contract out blah blah blah and it becomes an overhead charge instead of direct billable. The prohibition is holding a non-03 FFL for personal collecting, there must be a business nexus. Kharn |
