For example, if the estimated search and reporting of your records consumes at least four hours of time and the loaded cost is $50/hour, then quote a minimum of $200 to comply, with the actual cost possibly higher. Have your attorney provide the quote to the requesting authority. Your attorney has much experience with "billable hours".<br /><br />Making you work for free is slavery.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-64419948258657581462011-03-19T10:44:42.542+00:002011-03-19T10:44:42.542+00:00a reader ask if you have any more information.

Who wouldn't prefer to recover their own weapon and make the scandal go away? <br /><br />Let me help: be on good terms with local gun brokers/pawn shops and ask them to keep an eye open for a SPECIFIC serial number and description of the missing weapon. Offer a reasonable reward, privately (since it was your carelessness that lost the weapon). <br /><br />The letter is a tactic of folks who think that police-State tactics of "demand all the information and sort it ourselves, and use the info and derived data for purposes other than for that originally obtained" is perfectly reasonable.<br /><br />The Washington State Patrol is among the more respected professional forces in the PNW, and they could keep it that way, unless they want to be the ATF. <br /><br />Cheers.pdxr13https://www.blogger.com/profile/04663894695994248670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-56574059563516296052011-03-19T03:31:49.292+00:002011-03-19T03:31:49.292+00:00Ummm NO!

It has not power at law. Having lived in that state for more than 2 decades (and damn glad I am not there anymore)I can say that the WSP are known for sneaky shit. I would expect that most gun dealers will comply because they are sheep. <br /><br />Furthermore, those few who choose not to divulge this info will be visited by goons with badges and implied threats will be issued. It could even get to a point that they will play games like look the other way when they are called or any number of other low tactics to show who is the master.<br /><br />KPN3%Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-51566049202581511702011-03-19T00:02:50.146+00:002011-03-19T00:02:50.146+00:00Seems like they're making a list -- and probab...Seems like they're making a list -- and probably checking it twice.<br /><br />How is this not "registration"?<br /><br />If a rifle was "lost or stolen" then they should have its serial # and be able to say "check your records for #1234567"<br /><br />Not sure I'd comply with this one...Dedicated_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375339835638311982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-28949338649908775202011-03-18T23:41:16.421+00:002011-03-18T23:41:16.421+00:00Last I heard, a certified letter was not a warrant...Last I heard, a certified letter was not a warrant.
