I would like to take a trip with my pistol and am wonder if the permit is good in other states or do I need to get permits for each state I visit...Thanks... (Links are appreciated.) (I wasn't sure wether to put this in travel or law & ethics...I guess this category is as good as any other...)

Peacemaker has it right -- no better site than http://www.packing.org\n\nHowever, if you want to know about the ins and outs of carrying concealed, you should subscribe to Dr Mike Brown's highly regarded yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wa-ccw/\n\nMost subscribers are from Washington, but the list is very relevant to CCW in all states.\n\nLeigh \nNRA Instructor\nhttp://www.NWSafe.org

p99 is by far the most comfortable pistol for me, it comes with 3 backstraps so it could be for you too. Glocks are butt ugly, IMO. Thers also a site out there that did 200 yard+ tests with the p99 (9mm, DA) and it almost outshot a full body 1911, beat the crap out of a glock 27, not quite what youd use it for, but my p99 is on its way and i should get it soon. YAY

Dick -- You might want to join Mike Brown's highly regarded list: \nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/wa-ccw/\nThere are almost 700 members with many in Oregon. For Sale items are posted from time to time. \n\nOregon is a private sale state -- dealer is not needed. Many astute firearm sellers will only sell to guys who have a Concealed Carry License. That means that they have passed a background check, both Fed and State and are not felons.  \n\nKevin Starrett has just published a book on Oregon gun laws. \nhttp://oregonfirearms.org/store/uorlbk.html\n\nWhat have you got to sell?\n\nLeigh M\nNRA Instructor\nhttp://www.LeighMaynard.com\nhttp://www.NWSafe.org

Unless you are in one of the few communist states in America, all you will need to fill out is a 4473...all of your personal information, a question asking if you are the actual buyer of the firearm, several questions concerning any criminal record, a question concerning your american citizenship, another asking if you have ever denounced your citizenship, and that's about it...the store calls the FBI, they make sure you are telling the truth and you can legally own a firearm, and if you are approved, you're done.  Alot less complicated than it sounds...plus, of course, you must be 18 or older...

Most times, in order to ship weapons, they can only be shipped from one licensed person to another.  What may have to happen is you'll have to go to a gun shop, pawn shop that handles guns, etc, and they may have to ship them for you to another licensed gun handler and from there you could pick them up.  For law and liability reasons, fees, etc., it would be a good idea to start off by calling the police department and they might can head you in the right direction.

most often if it is cased and locked, and in the trunk, also known as the 3 step rule (would take 3 steps to get a hold of the weapon) you are legal. the bugger issue is what kind of weapon is it? some places have outlawed posetion of classes of weapons. there is Federal law about transporting weapons across state lines (peaceable journey laws), but they have been ignored by some LEO's (NJ comes to mind).

I believe there are seperate license.. for example, you can get one for a concealed firearm, however im not sure on the knife, as to where you could acquire one, I would check with your local gun/hunting store or police station. They should be able to help

I personally haven't driven the Alcan, but my brother and other friends have.  They said if you have an NRA or any other pro gun decal, they tend to tear your vehicle apart at the checkpoint.  As a military member, you may want to expect it.  DO NOT CARRY FIREARMS!  The drive is beautiful, but take it easy around the corners.  I had a friend come around a bend and smack dab into a moose.  The moose ran off.  It caved in the roof of his car, and cost him alot of time and money to have it repaired, and it wasn't fixed very good.  It's crazy, but the drive is shorter from Montana than from Seattle.  Preplan your trip, check in with someone stateside on a regular basis.  Expect to pay a helluva lot more for gas.  Alaska is beautiful, though.  Hot up there is mid 80's.  The cold isn't that bad because it's a dry cold.  I ran around in jeans and a windbreaker in 20 degree weather.  I hope you have a 4 wheel drive.  Anything else, email me.

33-round pistol mags cannot be shipped to addresses in California; Hawaii; Massachusetts; New York; Toledo, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio; New Jersey; Cleveland, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio; and Maryland. \n\nMan, do some of you people just spew the first thing that comes to your mind whether you have a clue or not? I just saw an earlier question where people had voted on an answer that was wrong. If you don't know don't answer and don't vote. First they are legal second they exist without being made at home third it is legal to own magazines that say law enforcement only. I know the last one seems strange but it partly has to do with the expired awb\n\nanother place to get them is cheaperthandirt.com Boker if you mentioned that one I am sorry

Bound's hubby here:\n\nI was brought up around guns. I was taught from an early age that guns were not toys but they were, first and foremost, tools that put food on the table. Secondarily, they were for recreation, and finally, they were for defense. The way I was brought up I was taught firearm safety with my toy guns before I was even allowed to touch a firearm. I was taught to respect firearms. At no point did my parents or grandparents try to keep guns away from me to make them mystical and curious objects. Even though I was given my first gun at 9, I was not allowed to touch any gun without supervision until I was 14. \n\nThe first lesson I had about what a gun could do was when I was about 8. When my grandfather had me shoot his hunting shotgun at an old metal bucket... it not only knocked me on my butt, the bucket was full of about maybe 50 holes and bounced a good 20 feet. It caught my eye about what a gun could do. \n\nMy wife and I have decided that our daughter (and any other children we may have) will be brought up around guns. We will not isolate her from guns to make her curious about them. From an early age she will be taught to respect a firearm and how to make it safe. She will know how to safely handle them and use them. Should she have any toy guns, the safety lessons will begin there. \n\nShe will not be raised with mixed values about guns. There will not be any paintball guns nor airsoft guns. She will not be allowed to think that it's ok to point one type of gun at a person and not another. All guns, whether toy or real, will be treated the same... as if they were real guns. Safety begins at an early age and in the home. She will learn that guns are tools that put food on the table, that they provide recreation (target shooting, competitions, etc.) and security. The greatest lesson she will learn is that when a gun goes off the outcome will be final... not like on t.v. when a character is shot one week and returns the next, unscathed. She will learn that when she is angry she doesn't turn to a gun first. If she demonstrates that she is not ready or responsible, her exposure to guns may be delayed or minimized.

that is not up to florida but up too the fbi. they did a background check on him and the mental problem wasn't on record. if you are concerned call your local fbi office and they will have it revoked it will go on file and he will have to give up his permit.also he will never be allowed to own a hand gun again. problem solved.

Buna Ziua Andrei!   Love your country!  I am former gunstore owner and at present am safety instructor.  Most states in the USA have some requirement to take familiarization and/or safety course before receiving license to be able to purchase a gun... although there are some more remote states where this is less necessary.  As was posted earlier, the US has written Constitution with Amendments which guarantee the Rights of any citizen to protect themselves from those who wish to do them harm.  I presently work in a city called Lexington, Massachusetts and here there is a great history from when the American revolution started when citizens took their guns and beat down the overbearing British monarchy... hence the legacy of guns in the hands of freedom-loving-people was born here.   The US has a culture of people who truly believe that freedom lies within the peoples' ability to guarantee that the government will never be more powerful than it's citizens.  It may be mostly symbolic, but the guns make it a real part of US custom.  Hope this helps!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nSimply ... you CAN'T!\n\nIn New Jersey, air rifles, pellet guns, BB guns, etc. are considered FIREARMS and require the purchaser to have a NJ Firearms Identification Card ... our state's version of a rifle and shotgun permit. And if you are trying to get a pistol version of an air rifle, pellet gun, or BB gun, you need a New Jersey Permit to Purchase a Pistol!\n\nNo one will legally sell an air type gun to residents of NJ without the proper permits, and will not ship them here!\n\nSorry ... it's the law we must live with!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nActually, you can purchase a BB gun in the Socialist Republic of New Jersey! However, you do need a New Jersey Firearms Identification Card (Rifle & Shotgun Permit).\n\nIn order to get a NJFID card, you must do the following:\nComplete an application\nBe fingerprinted\nHave two references\nHave a mental background check\nPay a total of about $80 in appropriate fees\nTheoretically, wait 2 - 6 weeks for approval \n(Wait time is actually more like 6 months, depending on the issuing authority!)\n\nIn New Jersey, BB guns and air rifles are defined as firearms, and require a firearms permit. If you want a BB pistol or an air pistol, you need an appropriate pistol purchase permit.\n\nGood luck!

i just checked into this myself for i live here also, but all you have to do is be shure the buyer is 18 years old,. if its a private sale and your not a dealer you dont have to get a backround for a rifle ,ALL pistols or anything in the pistol class such as a asslt rifles w/ folding stocks must be registered with the local police,...I suggest a bill of sale on all firearms in triplicat at least with one witness so that if anything bad happens with said weapon...say stolen and used in a crime, you are not liable. Rifles are traced by the original sale of the weapon,not by the subsequent sales unless sold by a dealer,or reregistered to the new owner via the police station.

I can't speak for California, New York, New Jersy, Or District of Columbia residents, But in the rest of the states (with the possible exception of local codes) There is not really any such thing as an unregistered handgun. There is no paper trail following the original purchase other than the requirement that the FFL dealers who have sold the gun fill out a form and keep it in their record book for future reference. There is no national gun registry. \nThat being said, yes, dealers (with the possible exception of the states/jurisdictions listed above) purchase second-hand guns. so do pawn shops.\nTo insure you get a fair price, Go to a bookstore and look up your gun in the "Big Blue Book of Gun Values" , or similar publication.\nMake sure you write down the make model and caliber of the gun so you can look it up properly.
