Gunlawyer001's next Firearms Law Workshop....

[GunLawyer001]

I need your input.

I have a list of possible locations, I plan on holding Session I of my 3-part Workshop series somewhere in the York area, sometime on a Sunday between July 26 - August 9th.

So, either:

July 26th

August 2nd

August 9th

Since this is for you folks, are there any dates that would be better/worse than other dates in that range?

Once I get a sense of a good date, I'll nail down a location and post full details. Price is still $50 paid a week in advance, $75 at the door, discount for groups of 5.

After attending all three of these in Hellertown a few months back, I can say that youll find these to be VERY worthwhile and a terrific value.

Dont be misled by the 3rd session title or NFA content... while I didnt "think" this was applicable, I found this to be an extremely valuable and lively session. If you dont know Phil, your in for a real education.

Thanks for the kind words, and I agree that the National Firearms Act applies to a LOT more people than are aware. Some pen guns are felonies, others are fine; same for wallet holsters, AR-15 pistols, "short" shotguns. Why is a pistol-grip shotgun with an overall length of 28" not as "short" as a full-stocked shotgun with a 37" overall length? Which AR pistols are felonies? Why can't you zip-tie a pistol under your rifle? Plus, we talk about $5 transfers, how the NFA helped us during the Assault Weapon Ban, and other fun stuff.

Aug 9th is a club action shoot, but I can miss it to attend.
All other dates are good for me.

Since you pre-paid by bidding on the class for the Red Cross charity, I'll rule out the 9th. So we're looking at July 25th or August 2nd.

Don't rule out the 9th on my account.
