Did you even read the letter from the doj to Boyd Davis of SASS?
Dear Mr. Davis,
The Department of Justice recognizes the sport and entertainment value associated with the 20th Annual
END of TRAIL World Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting event. This event to be held in Norco,
California, April 25-29, 2001, will provide entertainment and sport for more than 15,000 individuals. We
recognize the need of competitors to possess replicas of antique "cowboy" rifles for participation in your
event. We have no objection to your regulated possession and use of such rifles as well as the possession
of such rifles for the specific purposed of travel into and within our state for this year's event.
Additionally, our office will contact Riverside District Attorney Grove Trask along with Riverside County
Sheriff Larry Smith and communicate our position of non-objection to the event and the rifles utilized by
participants.
Finally, I appreciate your close working relationship with this office and wish you success in this year's
event.

For Bill Lockyer, Attorney General
There is NO MENTION of the issuance of permits to the individual participants which is required under 12079a:
12079. (a) Upon a showing that good cause exists, the Department of Justice may issue permits for the
possession, transportation, or sale between a person licensed pursuant to Section 12071 and an
out-of-state client, of large capacity magazines. (b) For purposes of this section, "large capacity
magazine" shall have the same meaning as that set forth in paragraph (25) of subdivision (c) of Section
12020.
What the DOJ is doing is asking the Riverside County Sheriff to look the other way and a mere letter would probably not be legally binding. I don't know if you are up on current events but the last time an attorney general pulled a "look the other way" and extended the "assault weapon" registration past march of 1992, 1500 people that complied got letters stating they were in possession of illegal "assault weapons" and had to get rid of them. Then there is lockyer's Great Western Gun Show fiasco where he had LE weapons displayed at the press conference in an attempt to mislead the sheeple that anyone can go in and buy a MP5 and M16. I do not put it past this clown that he wouldn't try to pull another scam. He has already demonstrated that he believes that the ends justifies the means.
