Holy shit. CA pales in comparison to that. All I had to do was go in to the same dealer I got my P38 at, take some test that asked if it was a bad idea to load a pistol and fire it at my testicles, and show some identification and proof of residence. The character reference thing is pretty ridiculous.

Is that P-38 C&R ? If so, perhaps that's why it was easier to do.

Getting your permit in NY is a bullshit process....one that's not impossible, just a deterrent. They do that shit on purpose so most people wouldn't bother. Another form of gun control.

Ok, edited to say......The Investigator called me today to inform me that i needed to surrender the newer High Standard double nine revolver. It was never registered and it'll be a pain in the ass to trace it so they'll just destroy it. I don't have a problem with that. The other pistols can be registered to me because they are "War bring-backs" but i need to deal with some red tape.
Called my friend today and gave him the scoop. He told me he wasn't interested in them and i can keep them. So, i'll be filling out some paperwork this week for the other 2 pistols. Lets see what happens.

Nein. I don't remember the exact term but it was something like Handgun Safety Permit which I guess is just the same as a license. I also had to sign some paper stating I have a safe to keep it in. It was all rather surprising, I guess CA's style is just to place heavy restrictions on the guns themselves, because if going on a shooting rampage I wouldn't ever think of bringing extra magazines.
