• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Jurisdictions should provide official Firearms Guides

Admit it Skidmark, you're just against the idea because you don't want to be required to hand out leaflets to every kid walking by, in triplicate, explaining the rules and regulations around the edict: Get off my lawn!

I don't think even the OP is of the opinion that handing out a leaflet (even one the size of the Unabridged Oxford Dictionary of the English Language, with Appendices) should be mandatory. He seems to just want one for his personal satisfaction, and seems to believe that The Gooberment ought to be responsible for making it magically appear.

And for the record, I do not hand out leaflets. I use tarps.

stay safe.

Want in one hand and - well, you know the rest of that saying.

In case you were not aware of it, one of the many reasons that The Law is not themed, wonderfully cross-referenced, with clickable links and a great table of contents and an effective index is because the folks who write, who enforce, and who interpret The Law do not particularly want you to know precisely what it is. It's darned hard to control people when they know what the rules and boundaries and limitations are
Revolt against this intention is one motivator behind the guide, besides the urge for self-preservation of knowing what the rules are to either change, avoid, or obey them.

But, since you have expressed your heart's desire, please keep us updated o your progress in bringing it about. If you ask nicely you might get some technical assistance. But if you are expecting to wait and have someone else make this dream document of yours magically appear .... If you believe that NC's effort was acceptable, why not flatter them by copying their format?

Get to it, kid. We are waiting.
Intend to, but hopefully getting my jurisdictions on up the ladder to do so, according to specs, not me creating it. I'm wanting the tax funded "experts" to pull it off on our behalf for the public's good.

I guess I'll muddle through whatever chain of politicians I can pitch it to. Not proficient at lobbying yet.

Off topic reply - In Virginia if you want to lobby, go do it. If you want to be able to claim your expenses or officially represent an organization, then you register.

If and when someone (the OP?) chooses to develop and make available an "Official Firearm Guide," please start a new thread. You'll turn blue before the government does it.........and could you trust it if they did?

Meanwhile this thread is locked.
