Request for Information - Moving to the USA and pistols

[wanneroo]

Can you goto my mates gravesite and give him a minutes silence for me?

Yes. Private message the information and location. My dad's hobby is grave hunting here in Pennsylvania, he finds old war vets graves going back to the 1700s and cleans them up and logs entries on Find a Grave, so he can probably help me out.

Keep in mind I live four hours from the Philadelphia area, so I don't get down there often, but I do from time to time.

My company is doing concrete work on the wall in Texas. I'm sucking as much proverbial dic* as I can to get a transfer over there.

The other thing is I would join the Pennsylvania Firearms Owners Association(PAFOA) forum online http://forum.pafoa.org/

I'm a member on there and there is lots of specific Pennsylvania related information on there in regards to matches, gun shops, gun clubs, Pennsylvania and Federal gun law, etc. Feel free to post a thread in the appropriate sub forum on there for whatever questions you have. Most people are very helpful and there is a lot of knowledgeable people there.

Thank you for this info. NO issues with me bringing my guns but based on the 2 forms the ATF have sent me, each being about 8 pages long, I think Ill just leave my bang here and buy new over there

I probably would. There is plenty to buy over here. PA is a pro 2nd Amendment state overall, gun ownership especially in rural areas is high, plenty of clubs with all sorts of competitions, a strong hunting culture and plenty of gun stores and gun shows.

I would also be aware that we are surrounded by some not so friendly states, going from PA to New Jersey is like crossing from West Germany to East Germany in the 1980s, so doing things like taking a pistol into NJ and getting caught with it could put you in prison.

New Jersey is extremely hostile to anything gun related. They have all manner of gun restrictions and punitive laws with prison terms if you make a goof. On top of that their property taxes and income taxes are insane among other taxes as well. You can't even legally pump your own petrol at the petrol station.

Forgotten weapons on YouTube has just uploaded a video on importing guns into the US. Maybe worth a watch
