can someone put together something like an idiot's guide to C3 in louisiana for those of us coming late to the party? i'm looking to get my first can and am trying to piece together information.
I can put something together. The hard part is over for me and my stamp should be back in 3 or 4 weeks. It was a nightmare since I didn't know a few details on the process that are really important (like having the correct agency ORI info on the fingerprint cards). My next transfer should be a breeze.
Here is my initial writeup and first impressions of it when it came in at Redstick:
Sorry if I'm out of line or if there's one up elsewhere but have you been able to put together the steps to get a class 3 item? I'm going by Belsco in Lafayette tomorrow just to check out some things there and I know they can help with the process but I was hoping to hear it from the consumer side.
I want to move my daughter up to a bigger caliber weapon but Im afraid the noise will bother her... She was not happy when I fired my AR around her.. But we all know the AR is mostly noise...
Step 1: Decide what you want to buy, find a dealer who has it or can order it, and pay him for it.
That's all you need to know right now. A month down the road if you are lucky, 6 months down the road if you are unlucky, and you can start on step 2.
I just submitted my paperwork for my 5.56mm AAC M4-2000. Step 1 on that can was started in February!
Don't worry, if you take it one step at a time it's really a breeze. If you look at everything that needs to be done all at once it'll seem overwhelming and you'll probably never get started. At best, this will take 6 months to complete and there is absolutely nothing you can do to hurry it up. So don't get in a hurry. It took me 10 years of looking at the steps online and visiting dealers before Will at Red Jacket finally pushed me over the edge and said "That'll be $598.50". I said, uhh.. but what about.. blah blah. He looked at me like I was an idiot (I was) and said "I just need cash or a credit card. Don't worry about anything else."
