Chicago Gun Registration Sect. D ?

[RandyP]

Ay Caramba! - What a cluster fun-fest - lol

 

yesterday the gal at 48th & Kedzie told me Section D is to be filled out showing the gun shoppe where and when I bought the firearm I want to register. Just to be safe I called the gun desk this morning 312-745-5164 and was told No, you should list the name & address of the person who has been storing the gun for you OUTSIDE the City limits and then list the Date as the date you are filling out the application (today's date) as the date you are bringing the gun into the city, even if you are not bringing it in until after you receive the registration for the thing.

 

Why do I think that NOBODY over there knows What the hey!!! is going on? Oh I remember, it's becuz NOBODY over there knows What the hey!!! is going on.

 

Any fellow Chicagoans out there already receive their registrations care to share what did YOU did for Section D?

 

Thanks.

My wife spoke with a sgt down there and got the skinny on Section D with respect to grandfathered gun registration. They have to have something in those fields in order to submit the form into their computer system. It isn't their desire, they are using software that they didn't design or implement. They want whatever you know to the best of your recollection. For example, for who you bought it from it could even be "Some vender at a downstate gun show" and date "sometime during the summer of 2007" or "Inherited from my Grandfather", etc.

 

For newly purchased guns that aren't grandfathered, they'll need the accurate information.

[RandyP]

EXCELLENT Info!

 

I have no problem listing the few Gun Shops involved and the 'approximate' dates of purchase for my collection. Frankly I'd much prefer listing even closed gun shops than put an out-of-city relative's info into the system - lol

I'd suggest you registrants start documenting names of whom your talking with at the gun desk. The more you talk of the information that's being asked for the more this looks like a bunch of crap. Remember state law your required to keep records for 10 years. But the intimate details of a if you kept an firearm outside of chicago for a dozen years at your brothers house and his address is none of the city's business. Theres also examples that it may have been bought from a private party sale and not a gun shop. So Chicago's going to start collecting data from old private sales that may have occurred over 10 years ago as well?

 

 

Whats next, a DNA sample and polygraph test? Or the deposit of first born male child? This is freaking ridiculous. Its not the fault of the gun desk staff, Its just the normal bureaucracy response that every line needs to be filled out. It's bugging me that the city feels the need to suddenly create a data base on previously owned firearms that were never kept within the city limits.

 

Your submitting the firearms serial number, They will run that to see if it's stolen or traced in someway as a crime gun. But as to where a legitimately owned and stored outside of city limits firearm...... It should be none of the city's business.

 

 

Why not just tell them you kept it at Alderman Mell's vacation home in Wisconsin in the interim?

the next time someone goes there, could you pick up a couple extra forms for me. I think they will be handy in Springfield next year.

 

thanks

If you don't need their pre-printed forms you can print your own from online. I can point out the inconsistencies and missing selections if you want.

Repeating what others have said, I used what I remembered. For one of the grandfathered handguns I used "private party" and the year and month and town as best as I could remember. For another, I used "Gun Shop" and just the Street name and town(it's been closed for many years.).

"Oh, I remember, it's becuz NOBODY over there knows What the hey!!! is going on." I want you to know that it's of no disrespect to you few good guys in Chicago, but I'm laughing my a** off right now. Elections have consequences don't they?

[RandyP]

Sometimes if you don't laugh...you'll just cry - lol

 

The ONLY....and I do mean ONLY... vaguely 'positive' aspect of any of this paperwork nightmare is that now there is a way to resume being a law-abiding citizen who owns, keeps and bears arms in his own home. For decades MANY Chicago residents have simply and quietly ignored the unconstitutional handgun ban and legally bought firearms at suburban gun emporiums and then brought them all home where they have been kept ever since. Now there is a mechanism that should make the short round trip out to the car/garage on your way to your favorite local gun range less of a game of 'hide & seek' when you are "street legal".

 

Does this mean I approve of paying for a Right - heck no! Does it mean that very soon I will be in full compliance with this stinkin' ordinance? Yes.

That is the biggest BULL**** LIE in the world. All they have to do is enter "dummy data" into the fields if you don't supply data for them. A computer can't tell the difference between legit information and bogus info. The city simply wants to invade our privacy. PERIOD.

 

 

(To clarify, I'm not saying that FF is a liar, I'm saying the city is a liar.)

[Yas]

The answer should be Nunya Nun-ya da*@&^% business...

 

 

If any of the registrants kept those guns within the city limits ignoring the ban in the past, then the truthful answer should be the 5th amendment.

Todd - perhaps you should have copies of both versions of these bureaucrat creations and double your fun!

[Xwing]

I think the answer in that section should be "NOYB". When I have to fill out forms that ask for personal information that is not really needed, that's what I fill in... I have filled out many online forms with several fields of "NOYB" and no-one has denied my applications for it...

[Ol'Coach]

Is it possible we could have a sub-forum of IL politics titled, "Chicago Gun Rights," or whatever?

 

Seems there is a need!
