Isn't a gun registered when it is purchased? I have a glock registration form that I haven't sent to the company yet....

I had half a mind to leave the place, but I stayed and had my coffee, read the newspaper even as I watched about 10-15 cops show up to have their coffee break. She again told one of the cops, but he smiled and said nothing to me.

I am not sure what she accomplished by her paranoid behavior.

Proving once again that Seattle is over run with pansy idiot cowards

That's a warranty registration card.

And no, a gun is not registered when it's purchased. The 4473 form is retained in the dealer's files at his business premises.

I wish everybody would stop repeating this gun registration crap. That's a myth perpetuated by Hollywood. With a few exceptions, like Las Vegas, NV, we do not have gun registration in the United States of America.

HA! Funny I read this..I was @ a starbucks yesterday. I was sporting my Glock cap. Young lady that came up to take my order took a double take @ the cap; Her "GLOCK huh?...cool". She bumped the dude next to her and said "check his hat" dude turned...looked "so you like shooting huh?". Me "yep". Him "shoot to kill" he was joking but I replied "no I shoot to stop the threat". He stopped a sec "so you scared of getting jumped?" I said "no, just prepared" he said "cool" while bobbin his head.

lady handed my coffe (Grande carmal macciauto) said "good day....glock man". I thanked her for the coffe and went on my marry way.

We can be part of the solution or part of the problem.

Sneaking around and hiding a God given right as if it was some dirty little secret has never seemed like a solution me.

To me, it's less a matter of pride and literally open supporting of the Constitution than it is a matter of tactics.

I was in the local Wally World in Elizabethtown, KY this evening when I saw a young man OCing. I watched from a distance and saw that no one ran off screaming and yelling. My only problem was the way the young man was dressed. I don't want to be too critical, but he had a torn tee shirt on and dirty blue jeans. Maybe he did just get off of work, but if someone would have confronted him and judged him by appearance, he was a looser. Maybe I am just an angry old man, but if we want to be accepted, we should dress the part.

^I hate to say image is everything, but I think I don't get bothered typically because I'm wearing a polo shirt, khakis, a short haircut, and clean shaven. I'm sure most people think I'm some form of LE or are just afraid to ask.

Exactly. That's why I told her that, because in LV this is the case. I had to have my paperwork filled out and submitted and get my blue card when I picked up my cun. It's only on pistols though.
