I think you only have to get a pass to purchase from the local PD. They no longer have to examine the device after purchase. Only your FFL knows the S/N.....
Eff registration and eff the state.
Dr. Ossian Sweet.
I live in Georgia, sweet Georgia.
My city has had handgun registration since the 1880’s. Someone took the city to court over this issue and the court decided that anyone who had a State Concealed Carry license did NOT have to register the handgun. The city agreed to honor the decision, but said that they would register any handguns from CCW holders for FREE if anyone wanted to. Registering handguns from NON-CCW people was still required. Naturally, I declined to register any handguns after that decision.
