Thanks, Folks.
I have been considering a C & R license but have 5 major/minor concerns and would appreciate any input.
1) I would no longer be able to do a friend to friend buy OR sell.
2) I would not be able to transfer a firearm to my son who is under 21 (no gift possibility).
2) I would have to keep records for umpty eleven years.
4) BATF could ask me to arrange a time and place to discuss such records, wasted time.
5) It would complicate my life and save me $75 or $100 bucks a year.
Am I wrong or it it just not worth it for the yield right now?
Keep in mind that I am a professional person who generally buys a one or 2, at most, firearms a year, and am not engaged in any more serious business than shooting firearms legally, so any legal issues are not in question. Having said that, I have bought 6 C & R rifles through my class 4 friend in the past few months. These milsurps are too cool (5 K31s and a Spanish Guardia beauty).
And the 96 Swedish Mausers would look pretty good next to the Enfields. Nah, not going there...
But maybe a few more K31s.
Thanks,
Rick
