But again dont marginalize all Troopers, i happen to know a few* and we all support the Second ammendment to the FULLEST extent. "Shall not be infringed" means just that.

You say we, but have no idea what the database is? My last interaction with a trooper, wasn't about the 2nd A, the problems are with the other A's, much like this OP.

I wouldn't think so..

Have I ever said anything that would make you think I am a liar?

Honestly...

What I know is that I saw the sheet, and saw what info it had on it. The pistol in question had an abbreviation (their system abbreviated the mfg name to three letters).

In this case it was BKL which I think is a russian pistol (bakal maybe?)

Honestly I pride myself on not telling lies and making up stories, review every post I've made and see how many "tall tales" I've made.

I speak the truth and Im comfortable with that.

I didn't mean to be accusatory...

Don't forget this section:
Right to Bear Arms
Section 21.
The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

i think it would.

the state has been tracking handgun purchases since 1931. the PSP since 1943.
