Re: This is 100% legal from what i can see but i want to make sure.
Sorry I'm a little pissy. I am just a little dumbfounded by what the OP has experienced here. Just short of hostility, coupled with some flat out wrong information. It's one thing to offer an opinion and/or *Correct* legal facts concerning the transportation of a handgun(particularly an 80%) to Vermont. Telling a new member to go use google and learn the law, get 3 years older etc. instead of getting the best factual information here (which is kind of why I thought this site existed) leaves me shaking my head.

Re: This is 100% legal from what i can see but i want to make sure.
A right not exercised, is a right lost.
It seems like a long time ago, but I can still remember when I was 18, and three years sure seemed like a long time then.
It's a damn shame that the best advice we can give to the guy is, "You can do it, but have a good attorney on retainer."
I hope the young man's intentions are pure. If so, perhaps he should completely explain his situation and explore what kind of support he might get from a go-fund-me to help him pursue his endeavor.

I didn't mean you Hodgie. I think you gave a valid opinion to seek legal advice.
I'm referring to statements like these:
Wow...so many possible felonies here. WRONG
You need to be 21 to have a handgun legally transferred to you. WRONG.yeah, see you in 3 years... learn the law first. google is a wonderful thing"It seems that the Constitution is more or less guidelines than actual rules"

Re: This is 100% legal from what i can see but i want to make sure.
I only disagree with you on one point above. Both 6107 and 6108 restrict "upon the public streets or upon any public property", so depending on the characteristics of his home, he may well be able to legally open carry in his yard. I won't argue the narrowness of the legal path, or the potential wisdom and risks involved, even with wholly lawful activity, but IMO, those cautions should come after the requested answer, and with a modicum of respect. That used to be the way it was done here. The general tone of the responses this young man received (not from you) sickens me.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Words of caution are certainly wise here, but the OP asked some very specific questions, looking to confirm answers he had already researched himself. As it turns out, he was right on every count. The misinformation and discouragement thrown his way are good examples of why our cause is in the shape it's in.
Sage advice from an experienced attorney is pragmatic, but the outright put-downs and discouragement, let alone the blatantly incorrect legal info from veteran posters, offered to someone simply wanting clarification of his own research was shameful. Regardless of the choices this young man makes, I hope he sticks around here. It's clear we are in desperate need of some fresh blood.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today! PM for more info.

Re: This is 100% legal from what i can see but i want to make sure.
This is my assessment as well. There is a legal pathway for him to build his own handgun and go to Vermont with it as well as go to local ranges. But there are landmines along the way, especially for interstate travel. The OP PM'ed me since I gave him the P80 idea in the other thread. My advice was that he has a choice to make based on his risk tolerance. The other route could be to just buy a shotgun/rifle from a dealer and have some risk minimized. I think my biggest concern for him would be to keep his mouth shut with friends or roommates about these plans and to invest in a good safe/lockbox if taking the plunge. Not doing anything stupid at a party, showing it off or being a tough guy is key.
Agreed.Last edited by jthrelf; September 19th, 2019 at 09:10 AM.

For posterity and peer-review, I'm posting my PM back to him (no I don't feel bad posting a private message, because they're my words not his).
