Any luck with getting the rifle?

[king2005]

The government isn't getting back to me... kinda surprised really

[king2005]

Hey Blue,

The governenment got back to me! I can register my fathers rifle with NO issues. We just have to call a special number to get it registered & then placed under my name.

My dad agreeded for now. But hes debating if he wants to get his licence or not. I told him it needs to be registered ASAP & if & when he gets that licence I'll have it transfered back to his name.. BUT I made it darn clear that if its going under my name he MUST place the trigger lock I buy & mail him onto it. I will have both keys, NOT him. When I come down next summer, I will be taking the rifle apart & removing the firing pin & that'll be coming home with me & placed into a Firesafe with the keys for safety. The rifle will stay with him as hes had it since he was a boy & has NO intentions on giving it to anyone. He knows its worth between 3000-5000.00 now, & thats why I do NOT want it, so he wont worry about it being stolen from me or me selling it (which I would NEVER dream of doing!!)... But regardless that its registered under my name, in the end it is not mine & I know that. I just don't him him getting into doo doo or it going to the chop shop

I'll also be making him buy it a locking case that his current case can fit inside, so it can be locked so no one can even look at it. As it'll be under my name, & I refuse to get into any sort of issues becuase of some idiot finding it (which has never happened, but it would just be my luck)...

The Government also gave me a special number to call to have the ammunition destroyed. Its so old & has been laying around, I fear it might be damaged from age, or some strange moisture, mild, anything effecting it, or makin git super fragile & randomly exploding & possibly harming someone, or if someone forgets thats the old stuff & tries to use it & thinks its a dud & stupidly doesn't wait 1 min & take it out & then it goes off due to delay...

All that is soo unlikely, but why risk it right?

I promote Gun safety & I have very strict gun rules, which I force anyone I'm with to obey. Many are already gun safety rules/laws, but I go a little over board as many others do, as the laws here are strict enough & I don't want some idiot with me making them any worse, or worse I get blamed for something an idiot does & loose my license & guns.. NOT cool at all!!

I live by this rule 90% of the time, "Better Be Safe Then Sorry"... However I'm still a risk taker, like I'll climb a waterfall cliff, climb random boulders, walk across fallen trees, & other stupid things like petting a Bull Moose & touching his velvet antlers. I was quiet, slow & calm so he was cool.. Other people scared him away when they quickly reached for him.. idiots :P

Boy, 8, fatally shoots self in head while trying out Uzi submachine gun at Mass. gun club show
By Associated Press

11:15 AM CDT, October 27, 2008
WESTFIELD, Mass. (AP) _ An 8-year-old boy died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while firing an Uzi submachine gun under adult supervision at a gun fair.

The boy lost control of the weapon while firing it Sunday at the Machine Gun Shoot and Firearms Expo at the Westfield Sportsman's Club, police Lt. Lawrence Vallierpratte said.

The boy, Christopher Bizilj of Ashford, Conn., was with a certified instructor and "was shooting the weapon down range when the force of the weapon made it travel up and back toward his head, where he suffered the injury," a police statement said.

Christopher died at Baystate Medical Center.


Police said the boy's father, Charles Bizilj, attended the event with his son. The father is the medical director of emergency medicine at Johnson Memorial Hospital, in Stafford Springs, Conn.

Although police called it a "self-inflicted accidental shooting," police and the Hampden district attorney's office were investigating, officials said.

"We are going to review all the circumstance regarding what happened, who was involved, what authorities they may or may not have had, who was supervising," District Attorney William Bennett said Monday.

It is legal for children to fire a weapon if they have permission from a parent or legal guardian and are supervised by a properly certified and licensed instructor, Lt. Hipolito Nunez said.

Those conditions were met in this case, he said. He declined to release the supervisor's name.

The event, run in conjunction with C.O.P Firearms and Training, said in an ad that people are allowed to fire weapons at vehicles, pumpkins and other targets at the event.

The club said it would offer machine gun demonstrations and rentals and free handgun lessons.

"It's all legal & fun — No permits or licenses required!!!!" reads the ad, posted on the club's Web site.

Officials with the private club and the firearms group could not be reached for comment. Messages left on answering machines for the club and the C.O.P. group were not returned Monday.

The sportsman's club was founded in 1949 and describes itself on its Web site as promoting "the interest of legal sport with rod, gun, and bow and arrow, both directly and through training."

It has eight firing ranges as well as archery and fishing facilities located on 375 acres in Westfield, about 100 miles west of Boston.

An unfortunate accident.

But not enough reason for me to take the ability to hunt and defend your family away from everyone

Sorry

funny though how no one ever posts stories about when producing a gun has saved someone... and despite what you think it happens A LOT

[beeniesmom]

Oh my goodness. Poor child and family.
