RTC’ers and I found time to do a little impromptu “min-RTC” or “dry run” at Little Five Points, Atlanta, the site for the upcoming 30 October rally.

Impromptu Restore The Constitution Pistols Only Dry Run

This was put together by phone with literally two hours notice, and the purpose was simply to begin preparing for the eventual rally that will be larger in size and include slung rifles and more signage.

AUG 31, 2010 07:52P.M. As the above picture shows, the Little Five Points location has a lot of foot traffic with what could be described as a “walking street.”

Impromptu Restore The Constitution Pistols Only Dry Run

We did all this with no demonstration permit, and it’s actually quite common for folks to set up shop right there on the street with banners, tables, flyers, etc. It’s not common to do so while open carrying. In fact, carrying openly at “public gatherings” to include political rallies was illegal here in Georgia up until a month or so ago. One of the local cops (I’m assuming from the mini-precinct) came out and talked to us for a bit, as did a few local civilians. All in all, interactions were positive and beneficial. Between now and October 30th, the plan is to do at least one more mini-RTC at Little Five Points, only with slung rifles. IMO, it’s best to wade into these things rather than dive right in. Impromptu Restore The Constitution Pistols Only Dry Run

So it’s not too difficult or complicated, is it? Research the laws, pick a spot, call a few friends, do a dry run, build toward a bigger gathering. And if you’re in the Atlanta area, you now know that this can be done safely and without incident at Little Five. No reason not to come out the 30th.

As our newest product and by popular demand of our customer base, we are pleased to be able to offer a universal hunting cushion that fits neatly in nearly all treestands.

The flat 10×14-inch platform seat has a massive 4-inch thick foam base. With one side a soft high resilience and the opposite, denser, closed cell foam; the hunter is allowed a chance to choose their own comfort.

The run-and-gun sport of practical shooting was formally established in 1976 but traces its roots back to the 1950’s and the quick draw “leather slap” competitions that grew out of America’s love affair with the TV westerns of that era.

The next major pistol competition on the USPSA calendar is the 2010 USPSA Handgun National Championships scheduled for October 8 through 16 in Las Vegas, Nev.

caliber or gauge, manufacturer, country of manufacture, and the serial number of each firearm imported or otherwise acquired, and the date such importation or other acquisition was made. In addition, the importer is required to mark the firearm in accordance with 27 CFR 478.92 and to complete and forward a duplicate ATF Form 6A to ATF in accordance with 27 CFR 478.112(d). The duplicate Form 6A must include the serial number of the firearm if not previously reported on the original Form 6A filed by the importer with CBP at the time of release.

Due to questions recently raised by licensed importers, ATF believes it is necessary to precisely explain “date of importation” as it is used in the GCA. The date of importation is the date a firearm is released from the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and brought into the United States. This interpretation is based on the GCA’s definition of “importation” in 27 CFR 478.11. The date of importation may not necessarily be the date an importer physically receives the firearm at its licensed premises. An importer located in New Hampshire may have its firearms imported through a CBP port of entry located in New York, and it may take several days for the firearms to be physically transported to the importer’s premises.

Open Letter to All Federal Firearms Licensed Importers AUG 31, 2010 12:39P.M. Open Letter to All Federal Firearms Licensed Importers Regarding Acquisition and Disposition Records Under 18 U.S.C. 923(G)(1)(A)

For example, if CBP releases a firearm on August 1, 2010, and the importer physically receives it on August 5, 2010, then the importer has until August 16, 2010 to mark the firearm, complete and forward the duplicate Form 6A to ATF, along with the serial number if not previously reported on the original Form 6A, and document the importation in its record of acquisition. The date of importation that is to be recorded in the record of acquisition is August 1, 2010, the date of CBP release and entry into the U.S. The regulation’s reference to “other acquisition” as the possible starting point for the 15-day period refers to firearms acquired by an importer domestically, such as purchases from U.S. wholesalers, retail dealers, or nonlicensees. If an importer is receiving a particularly large lot of imported firearms for which it does not have serial numbers in advance of physical receipt, it may sometimes be difficult to inventory, mark, and record the entire shipment within the 15-day period specified in the regulations. In such cases, importers may apply to ATF for a variance to extend the time period in which marks are to be applied, ATF Form 6A is filed, and the record of acquisition completed. Such variances should be submitted on a case-by-case basis in advance of a shipment’s receipt in order give ATF sufficient time to review and act on the request well before expiration of the standard 15-day period. The request also should identify and explain the amount of additional time needed by the importer to comply with marking and record-keeping requirements.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is committed to keeping industry members informed of statutory and regulatory developments affecting them. In furtherance of this commitment, we have prepared this open letter, which contains information about a recent clarification on the “date of importation” required to be recorded in a licensed importer’s record of acquisition, often referred to as the “bound book.”

Maintaining open lines of communication with the import community is essential to ATF in carrying out its mission.
