What is: "surplus ordnance sold, loaned or given by the Secretary of the Army pursuant to the provisions of section 4684(2), 4685 or 4686 of title 10 of the United States Code;" and where do I get a bunch of it? Thanks in advance! |
uscode.house.gov/download/pls/10C443.txt 4684(2): Subject to regulations under section 205 of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 486), any branch, office, or officer designated by the Secretary of the Army may sell, without advertisement and at prices that he considers reasonable - (1) surplus obsolete small arms and ammunition and equipment for them, to any patriotic organization for military purposes; and (2) surplus obsolete brass or bronze cannons, carriages, and cannon balls, for public parks, public buildings, and soldiers' monuments. 4685: (a) Upon the recommendation of the governor of the State or Territory concerned, the Secretary of the Army, under regulations to be prescribed by him and without cost to the United States for transportation, may lend obsolete ordnance and ordnance stores to State and Territorial educational institutions and to State soldiers and sailors' orphans' homes, for drill and instruction. However, no loan may be made under this subsection to an institution to which ordnance or ordnance stores may be issued under any law that was in effect on June 30, 1906, and is still in effect. (b) The Secretary shall require a bond from each institution or home to which property is lent under subsection (a), in double the value of the property lent, for the care and safekeeping of that property and, except for property properly expended, for its return when required. 4686: Obsolete ordnance: gift to State homes for soldiers and sailors. Subject to regulations under section 121 of title 40, the Secretary of the Army may give not more than two obsolete bronze or iron cannons suitable for firing salutes to any home for soldiers or sailors established and maintained under State authority. You "get a bunch of it" by meeting the above qualifications.
