I should add two more points. First, the benefit management company and the city could be subject to claims. Most benefits issues fall under ERISA, in one way, shape, or form. Second, the NLRB and EEOC are looking hard at these types of programs and limiting how much can be expected of...
I would not worry about signing the waiver form. If you decline any employment benefit, a smart employer gets a waiver so the employee doesn't come back and claim they didn't get offered that benefit.
I suspect he doesn't. When mine had a similar situation come up, they didn't even audit him, just looked at old 4473s. I think there is more going on than he is letting you know.
My FFL told me ATF visited him about a guy that bought something like 175 guns in a year, including several lots of 20 or 30 AK types. The investigator from ATF had nothing to say to my guy, as my guy is doing nothing wrong. The guy doing all the buying drew their attention because one of the...
The US Supreme Court issued an opinion yesterday, Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association that reverses a nearly two decade old ruling from the DC Circuit that required administrative agencies go through the notice and comment process BATFE was using with this ban. The Perez case stands for the...
As an attorney, albeit one in Texas, the issue is going to be subject to a motion on limine and almost certainly excluded as the probative value will almost certainly be outweighed by the prejudicial effect of such evidence. I've researched the issue before and never found a case where...
I just picked up two Ruger Single Sevens. While I won't give up my semi autos, I'll never not have several revolvers (or a whole lot more than several).
When you talk to Dead Air, they will tell you they distinguish themselves based on the mount. Thunderbeast is the choice of a large percentage of the long distance precision crowd. Added benefit (not that this is that big a deal), but they will clean your suppressor once a year if you pay the...
Ralph is an opportunistic POS. It is not well known, but every time he is standing with sine other POS complaining about that person being wronged, Ralph charges a big fee. Tens of thousands of dollars in some cases.
But it does serve as another barrier to those in DC exercising the right to own a handgun.
I'm trying to wrap my mind around why you're defending his fee and can't come up with a good reason.
His business model is based on having monopolistic control of the market. I don't think there is much to defend about his charge. Further, if it was $20, the number of transfers likely would increase.
The article does not make mention of what the FFL has to do to transfer a handgun. I suspect whatever is required is no greater than with a Class Three transfer (which often includes holding the other for months, even years) yet costs half that much.
I would hope someone would name and shame the DC FFL that charges $125 for a transfer. That's exploitative. In Houston I pay whopping $17.50. However, I do agree that the 5th is likely to affirm the lower court's ruling.
