Call your field agent and ask about the very recent changes to the VAF/UPIN application approval process. They don't give out UPINs like they used to. If you have a common/duplicate name issue or something else not related to lack of or faulty database (FBI or Local) information that causes...
I understand where you are coming from, but please understand three things: 1) There is nothing in the law to keep victims of violent crimes (or their families) from filling civil suits against dealers for choosing to release without a check. Defending against such a case could bankrupt a...
04RWon - Don't take this personally, because this comment applies to all of us:
Folks, herein is evidence of a slippery slope that we must avoid. We're all pissed off about our rights being trampled upon, yet at the same time, we have to be careful not to become complacent with unacceptable...
How about collectors who have multiple purchases from multiple dealers at a rate of 2-4 regulated firearms per month? Why should everyone have to wait for the MSP to do 10 background checks on the same guy for purchases made over the last 80 days when they could ND them all at once?
Also on the 4473 is the statement that, for the purpose of the regulations you described, contacting the POC is the same as contacting NICS. No response from POC after 7 days, AND no response from NICS after 3 full business days passes the test. Legal to release without so much as an NTN...
Ask an attorney or an insurance provider about potential liability for early release. Anyone can sue you for wrongful death, even if you follow the law. I know this from personal experience. There is more to it than simply following the law. Civil cases are not based on crimes; they are...
Well, they are not supposed to keep readily-accessible records of your previous applications. Same with the Fed. When you get a NICS check on an unregulated long gun, the records of that check are supposed to be destroyed afterwards. That's why they have the VAF accessible from your UPIN if...
There is also some difference between what the civilian reviewers are able to approve and what must be done by an officer. So, a civi reviews your app, sees something (anything?), and it gets passed to another pile for a second review by an officer.
Considering how many applications seem...
I'm not sure, either. I'm asking a sincere question, not trying to make a statement in the form of a question.
Here's the section on Declaratory Judgments in Maryland:
My non-lawyer reading of (a)(2)(b) makes it seem possible that such relief could be granted. It might even be better to...
Couldn't a judge issue a Declaratory Judgment stating that dealers who release according to the law are not subject to civil liability based on the decision to do so?
