If I knew where this guy lived, I’d bring a six pack of beer to his door.

Police claim it's illegal for Littlejohn to keep the flintlock without a gun license. Once again proving the low IQ of most cops.

IF they make you register it, do us a favor and shove it up bloomberg’s arse instead.

Some loophole in the city code that faithful replicas of antiques do not count as antiques?

“This is the last legal gun that you can have without registration in New York,” Littlejohn said. “And yet Mayor Bloomberg is driven crazy by my flintlock gun - the one that won the American Revolution.”
The irony...still think you live in the “home of the free”? Pffft!

Unfair. the cops are just enforcing the stupid local law that the city council enacted.

I attended the funeral of a dear friend a few years back. Very sensible fellow. Did not rashly jump to conclusions. smart too. I miss him very much. Lovely fellow named “Common Sense”.

It’s a relief to know that there is no more crime in Bloomberg’s New York. Obviously, the city cops have nothing much else left to do these days.

This is NYC you’re referring to - I’d say 97% of them are in on it.

Well BG, it seems the Feds too are after blackpowder firearms. There is a big BATF surcharge on all such weapons. It is invisible to most buyers who get their flintlocks and percussion weapons from retailers but I noted it on the Tennessee Valley Arms website when I considered ordering a Kentucky/Pennsylvania/Tennessee styled flintlock.

In NJ, if you inherit it you do not have to register it. However, if you buy it it must be registered.

He needs to get 60 patched balls and some FFFF and FF powder. The FF is used for the main charge and the FFFF is used for the flashpan to be ingnited by the flint. Smaller caliber rifles and pistols/revolvers need FFF for the main charge. Cannons use single F.

when i read the excerpt, i came away with 1 question and 1 statement.
question: how did the cops find out about the gun? turns out this dude made a silly mistake and the cops found out about the gun.
my statement: the cops who are investigating this have no desire to go after it. they are being told to do it by their boss. and sure enough that is the case!
what a joke. cops do not make laws, legislators do. cops do not make decisions about their cases, their bosses do. and more often than not those bosses are sitting around in an office all day salivating at the chance to get a gun number so they can get a pat on the back from the big bosses/mayor.
