Quoted: ETA Search reveals that TW posts a lot in the CA HTF and claims to be a member of the CA National Guard in Fresno!

From the
Here's some BS thread:
Funny... I live in Madera and had no idea this went on .... Technowizard.

There is no Madera in TX, its in CA.
but
here he asserts that he has dual residence in Texas and California:
Of course this is why the words "United States" is an oxy moron! For this reason I keep my dual residence... not with Arizona, but with the state of Texas. Everyone should establish a second residency in a pro-gun state IMHO.... it really saves you on the BS and headaches from time to time.

He may be a resident of TX, which is admittedly more pro-gun than the PRK, but either he doesn't understand Federal Laws regarding the transfer of firearms, or he is choosing to ignore them.
Based on the fact that
MisterSuzuki (of our own NV Hometown thread) educated
technowizard about the limitations of interstate transfers in
this same thread on 12/26/2005, and
technowizard posts this request in our NV HomeTown Forum on 1/10/2006 makes me suspect some level of malfeasance .
Now the disclaimer and discussion:
technowizard,
If you really are a dual-state resident, then bully for you. Most of us don't have the time and resources to maintain such a thing. You have the fantastic opportunity to exercise your "inalienable" rights in one of your states of residence despite the fact that the other state pointedly and gratuitously infringes on those same rights (Hell! That's one of the reasons we moved to NV in the first place - Madison Wisconsin uses the PRK as a role model when it comes to most gun rights!).
It may be legal for you to own and currently purchase anything you want in TX, but I would highly recommend that you look into the importation laws of CA. A lot of what you posted about in the
hypothetical situation, I drive to AZ grab a stag lower... thread
is banned in CA, and you are committing a felony if you take them from your home in TX to your home in CA unless you purchsed them before the CA AWB,
and had them registered in CA before the Dec, 1999 deadline.
If you're a Guardsman (and I thank you for your service, by the way - its very much appreciated
), and you are bringing firearms into the state for the purposes of your service, then the rules may be different, but I am ignorant of any such exemption.
I'm not calling you a troll
, but please forgive us examining your request with skepticism when you are asking us to help you break Federal Law.
(By the way, a face to face transfer of a serialized firearm between residents of different states is a Federal Crime - it is the
reason we have FFLs. The law is the National Fireams Act of 1938, and was specifically part of the "Commerce and Trade" section dealing with Interstate Commerce.)
