    I live in the only state in the union that treats them as firearms and I would have to go through the same permitting gauntlet as a Glock to obtain one.

    Otherwise I’d have, like, five.

      oh, for the love of God it’s a test that you can study for for half an hour and take the store quit crying.

        …no, it isn’t. The weirdness comes from in-state dealers having to treat BP guns as firearms with 4473s and everything. Neither out of state retailers nor in-state FFLs want to bother with all that.

        I have modern guns and went through the process for them. I’m not going to burn a pistol permit on something everyone else can buy in the mail, even if I could find someone willing to do it.

          Okay, I’m going to need to look half that up.

          Can’t I just buy a tax stamp or something convenient like that?

      Sorry to hear that. My state Ohio, treats them as firearms regarding posession and transporting. I do enjoy the priviledge of shipped to my house. (Shame on Cabelas for restricting shipping here because of a shooting)
