You might recall my post of about a week ago detailing a fight I was having with my insurance company over a claim.  In a nutshell they wanted to declare that anything attatched to a gun(scope, sling, etc) was considered to be the gun and as such was subject to the maximum dollar amount for a gun theft claim in my policy.

Today at 5:15pm PST they finaly submitted to me and told me the check will leave their office tommorrow.  For all of my arguing I get another $755.77.

The line that really killed them came from the BATFs very own website.  The killer quote is "The court held that the sights and compensator units were nontaxable accessories since they were readily removable and of secondary or subordinate importance to the function of the firearm." That and I kept telling them it can't be a gun if I can legally sell it to a 12 year old. (nevermind the fact that a 12 year old cannot enter into a contract OK)

I win!  Time to go shopping!

Awesome!!  I honestly didn't think you would be able to pull it off.  Good for you - an example to all of us!

What can I say guys  I am ruthless!

Jimmy do you still have that sweet baby .308 you've been lugging around for so many months?

Jimmy it's a good bet that you won't have to lug that boat anchor to more than one more show!  That is aof course asumming the rats actually mail the check!  Is the next WAC show in April the next one you'll be at?

I did log all of my stolen guns into the WWW.isthisgunstolen.com website.

I do not have a URL to reference my super secret beatdown reference but it came from
Auto-Ordinance Corp.v. United States 822 F.2d 1566(Fed. Cir. 1987)  The case revolved around Auto Ordinance sueing to recover excise taxes paid on sights and compensator units sold with rifles it manufactured.  AO claimed these parts were nontaxable accessories that shoudl not be included in the taxable sale price of the rifles.  The IRS  contended that they were component parts and must be included.
