Depends on the state. Each one is different in that regard. Which state would you be talking about?

I'll know when I'll decide to go. It's only theoretical for now.

I see, well in general the further south or west that you go it'll be less regulated (except the Peoples Republic of California). Once you decide i'll be happy to look up the non resident regulations for that state on the NRAs website for you.

I hate to be "that guy". Well actually I love being that guy. :D

1. On September 15th, 1988, a 13-year veteran of the Dayton, Ohio police department, Patrolman Roger Waller, (32), used his legally possessed fully automatic MAC-11 .380 caliber sub-machine gun to kill a police informant, 52-year-old Lawrence Hileman.

Patrolman Waller pleaded guilty in 1990, and he and an accomplice were sentenced to 18 years in prison.

He got 15 years to life plus 3 years for using a gun in crime. Parole was denied in January 2011 and he still lives at Grafton Correctional

2. Dr. Shou Chao Ho killed Dr. Carmelito Olaes on 14 September 1992 and pleaded guilty to it. Sentenced 15 years to life by judge Judy Cross and 3 years for using a firearm in a crime plus he also had charges for harassing hospital staff with firearms.

He is still in Warren Correctional first parole hearing is in september of 2016.

While a very small number, unfortunately we can not say that no legally owned class 3 machine gun has ever been used in a crime.

Maybe you could post the gist of it for those of us who do not have Facebook.

You are right

a comment on Takei's wall is public.

Here is what this Dylan wrote

Quote:

For those who think President Obama is over reaching in his authority, or he is acting like a king with his "Executive Orders", please remember that he is charged with the enforcement of federal law--how this enforcement is to be done is left to him by both Congress and The Court, so long as it is within the rule of law. If Congress finds what he is doing to be unlawful or outside his authority, they can pass new laws--better written laws to guide the President in how they intended him to enforce the law in the first place.

The mantra from the gun lobby for the past 20 years or so has been: "We don't need more gun laws, we need enforcement of the laws we have now." Well, today, President Obama did just that; he used existing laws to close loopholes and enforce federal regulations. He is operating in the exact manner in which the Constitution mandates he do. You don't have to like it, you don't have to agree with it, but I think, like our President does, if we can save even one life or prevent even one shooting, we are doing the right thing.

I was so proud of the President this morning. I can only hope that others will follow his example.
