I suspected this before I started searching. We need to did a moat around New York and starve them to extinction.

Ding, ding, ding! Free Republic Post of the Day!
“Hey sheriff, I’ll give you 50 bucks for that .45 you got there on your hip.” Na this WUSS probably uses a “9 Mil”.
I am just repeating what the CCW Instructor told us. Be it that his comments were directly related to his experience with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and since it is the largest shop, with five locations, he talks to a lot of officers. Maybe it was worse case scenario, but he was very pointed about it. He also mentioned something about the need for an attorney to straighten out the situation.
Take it for what it is worth.
LOL! Maybe....but for $50 bucks, I'll take it! :-)
I’m sorry, but this entire idea smacks of corruptability.
How exactly can a reasonable chain of custody be 100% guaranteed?
It cannot. I see an easy way for any LEO to pick up a few throw down weapons right there - and don’t say that it doesn’t happen.
That to the side, thank you for your explanation of GTB and how the magic number (little known) is applied here in Florida, but are you certain that firearms are not in an entirely separate category from other stolen items, GT or not?
I did not research this law so I am not asking as satire, I just do not know.
Thank you for your post.
“How exactly can a reasonable chain of custody be 100% guaranteed?”
It cannot if you are buying used items. Nor do I think it should be. To have a 100% guaranteed chain of custody for guns is to invite gun confiscation.
Here is an old but good post:
Gun Registration is Gun Confiscation

Of course, an individual can guarantee that the firearm is tied to them if they buy only new and keep records of the sale. With the current war on the constitution, I can see why some people would be concerned with that, just as constitutionalists are concerned about the government having records of gun sales.
“it is the largest shop, with five locations”
People tend to hear what they want to hear. Conscious or not, he has a vested interest in discouraging private sales.
$7000 Grant for Crime Prevention, eh?
A Concealed license class, in my stomping grounds, cost about $90.00.
How many of those do you think could be paid for, with that grant?
How many law-abiding citizens could that enable, ‘to do the right thing’?
Would THAT not be a ‘crime detterent’?

Excellent point. I suspect that this sheriff department is not one of those who are offering free gun classes to women as a crime deterrent.

They LIED! They are not supposed to be collecting a database of all serial numbers!
The only database of serials they are SUPPOSED to have is a list of stolen guns.
Actually, you are correct in that only the stolen guns are in a database and the screen on the inquiry only comes back with a stolen or not stolen designation. There is and never was any mention of an all encompassing database of all guns or any other information tied to it except whether it is listed as stolen.
