Joint registration

As of a few weeks ago, every gun in our home was registered to me.  We've undertaken as a summer project getting them all joint registered.  And what a joy that process is proving to be!

First, if you've been stuck in line behind us, I offer no apologies.  We didn't make the laws, we're simply following them. 

Second, it's amazing to me how much the details change every time we visit the window.  Four times now, and dealing with the same people behind the window each time, and we've ended up with four different results.  For example, today they stamped my original registration forms "Joint Registration" but did not type any additional information on them.  In previous visits, they typed the name and registration number of the co-registrant on the originals.

My favorite, at least so far, is that on one trip, they typed on all of the originals that the guns were co-registered... to me!  That's right, my name appears both as the registrant and the co-registrant.  I pointed this out, but they said it wasn't important, because they got the G-number correct.

Lots of quality time standing in line.  Average trip is about 70 minutes.  The record (so far) is 112 minutes.  Still have several visits to go!
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

Heavies

I guess that proves the registration process is pretty much a useless waste of time and taxpayer dollars.  They don't even know what is going on, and the data base is so old and outdated that the system would probably crash if asked to look for something in particular.
