Gun Registration

[Pastor Bill]

In KY sales are recorded (when done through a dealer) but that's the only registration I know of.

I grew up in Illinois, and they didn't register guns, but gun owners. You had to apply for an FOID (Firearm Owner's IDentification) if you wanted to purchase firearms or ammunition, and possibly in order to buy hunting licenses.

This way they registered those that owned guns, because it's not possible to keep up with the gun sales, and honestly they can't keep up with the owners either, it's a hassle for those that follow the rules, and just ignored by the criminals they are trying to prevent from owning guns.

I meant to say, "I belive" owning a handgun is different. I was thinking that you had to register handguns and go thru a background check. Of course I could be way wrong.

In Alabama you only have to do that if you buy from a licensed dealer. Sales between individuals need not be reported.

In Alabama all guns are suppost to be register, but that don't happen as stated by Macgulley. But to get a permit to carry a conceal weapon, you have to have a register hand gun. My permit is suppost to good in 5 to 7 other states. Price will depend on what Sheriff's office you go to.

Not all counties require you to list a handgun in order to get a permit and my county only requires that one be listed although the permit covers any handgun I may carry.
I've never heard that you are supposed to register all guns. Where could I find information on that legislation?

Not in VA yet that I know of...Like some other states you can buy handguns at a gun show and not register it. It you purchase at a gun shop it must be registered.

I bought my 9mm at a gun shop had it registered and then got my conceal carry permit...I was afraid Obama/Dems would try to pass some type of regulations and hoped to be grandfathered in. I guess time will tell.

VA gun laws are awesome!!! You can walk in buy a gun with no permit and then openly carry on your side exposed walking down the street. I had my glock in the open on the holster when walking my Rottweiler in a neighborhood that was not that great.

You can drive with a loaded gun anywhere in VA with NO permit, you just can conceal it without a concealed weapons permit.

One Love,

Actually KY is that way to, concealed means concealed, open carrying is only prohibited in schools, hospitals, government buildings and churches which is also true of concealed (and actually KY passed a law that with a concealed carry permit a pastor can carry in the church.)

But you can't have a radar detector!

Let any police caught you with a non register gun on you conceal and they will at least ticket you and you will most likly loose that gun. If you have it out in the open then they will question you, but may not bother you. I believe you to be wrong on the unregister gun being covered.

The policy of renderen permits are suppost to be the same every where. prices are up to the sheriff of each county.

Say just which county do you live in?

Generally, any states that have conceal/carry permits will honor permits from other states.

I pray VA and Kentucky stay that way...Sounds like Kentucky sounds like a pretty good place to live.

Washington D.C. has a strict criminal system, too. It's called the IRS. (But that's a case where the SYSTEM is strict and criminal. )

Your state laws are very similar.
