Chapter 90 Legal Firearms
Sig then pulled out a Ruger LCP pistol from his bag.
There were also some loose gun parts in plastic bags, large and small, which seemed to be able to be assembled into five or six pistols.
The Gru LCP black gun body is compact and short, the size of a palm, and the magazine can hold 6 rounds of bullets, making it suitable for carrying in a waist bag or holster.
The other friends also tried it out. They felt it was a bit novel at first, but soon they lost interest in it. It was just a tool in their hands.
After all, they have had the opportunity to touch guns since childhood, and it is very common. If the environment does not allow it, not many people are willing to buy guns. In addition to gun enthusiasts, many people are not very interested.
Jennifer was very interested in this and wanted to keep a gun for self-defense, so she asked Sig if he was willing to sell her a gun.
Although Sig is not a straight man, he is a real introverted person. He can't even express himself clearly and just rejected her directly.
"You don't have a legal gun license. I'm harming you by giving you a gun! These guns can only be kept at home to protect yourself. Even if you use them in the camp, you will definitely be held accountable by the police. This is an open-air place, not our own home."
"Aren't the police officers one of our own?" Jennifer asked, "You and Dominic helped the police officer named Miguel. Without you, he would have died a long time ago. Doesn't he have any other expression? Like giving us some privileges or something?"
"Miguel is still in hospital for recuperation. We help him only because he is a good police officer who does his job conscientiously. We don't ask for too much care. Even if we are given more privileges, we will not be allowed to shoot in the city. That will definitely be classified as gang-related! We will be given special care." Sig explained.
"Then it should be okay for me to use it in the RV. At least it's a private space," said Jennifer.
Sig then noticed the green RV and said in surprise, "Maybe it's possible. Shooting in self-defense in an RV should be legal and compliant, but after an accident we also need a reliable lawyer to testify in court for us."
"That's it." Everyone was instantly disappointed after hearing this. "We don't know any decent and reliable lawyers at all."
"Isn't Dave a lawyer?" Sig hesitated.
"If you also want to go to jail, you can hire him as your lawyer." Several people shook their heads, expressing their fear for Mr. Dave Sinek's professionalism.
Zhang Ailun took the short and thick LCP in his hand and weighed it, then removed the magazine and found that it was already full of bullets. All the things in front of him were real weapons, and there were several boxes of matching bullets for the pistol and submachine gun.
"Did you get these things from your friends? It must have cost you a lot of money, right?" Zhang Ailun checked the backpack again and found a lot of security equipment in it, even tactical headsets and walkie-talkies.
"It didn't cost much, actually. My budget was limited. I wanted to buy an assembled rifle, but then I thought better of it because it was too expensive. These are all assembled second-hand guns. There are many stores on the market that specialize in selling second-hand parts. My friend knows some distributors who also specialize in modified guns, sales, and registration of gun numbers."
Sieg explained: "Like the Ruger LCP in your hand, the retail price in the gun store is about $250. If you buy it privately from my friend, you can get one for only $50! If you only buy parts, it will be cheaper. What is expensive is the gun serial number. Without the serial number, it is illegal. But ordinary people are not recommended to buy through this channel, because many parts are second-hand, and they don’t know how to assemble the gun, so it is easy to have problems during repair and maintenance."
There are three types of guns on the market: one is a numbered gun, one is an unnumbered black gun, and the other is a damaged gun that has been eliminated and needs to be cancelled.
But the numbers of obsolete guns can be resold, just like license plates. The registration on the assembled guns is a legal and compliant shell gun, and the transaction process can also be checked online. With this legal, compliant and profitable industry chain, it is difficult to find a real ghost gun without a number, and the number needs to be polished by hand.
Guns without serial numbers are expensive and illegal. Second-hand assembled and modified guns are legal and cheap, but the quality is poor.
There is no need to worry about Sig, as he is a professional. He can disassemble and reassemble a gun with his eyes closed and is proficient in all kinds of gun repair and maintenance work.
Even if you buy battle-damaged guns and parts, you can assemble them yourself, and even make minor adjustments to the guns.
"These equipments are all obsolete security equipments. Some people with CCW certificates met with accidents while performing their duties, or they quit the job. They would find someone to sell these second-hand equipments. I inherited this set of equipments from my friend, and it only cost me more than 300 dollars in total."
"My favorite is this bulletproof vest. My friend's friend accidentally injured a black man while performing security work. Then he was accused of racial discrimination. The incident got a bit serious. He was complained about and his license was revoked. He had no choice but to quit this job. It was also sold at a discount."
Sig took out a bulletproof vest from his backpack, smiling widely and looking very satisfied.
This kind of thing is not easy to get. You can buy guns through various channels, but defensive equipment is harder to get than guns, and it is impossible for ordinary people to own them.
People with CCW certificates can interview and find jobs similar to security guards and bodyguards. First of all, they need to have a residential address and tax and consumption receipts. The hourly wage is basically more than $40, and the work is also easy. Most of them are to maintain on-site security or star concerts. If you work as a security guard in hotels and shops in wealthy areas such as Beverly Hills, the hourly wage is more than $90.
As a temporary worker, you don't have to actually come into conflict with criminals. When something happens, you should first ensure your own safety, call 911, and then take care of the safety of your employer and the facilities.
Employer? If the employer is gone, just find another one.
The hourly wage might even be higher.
It's better to be fired than to be eliminated by reality.
If you shoot and kill someone, the responsibility is still yours, and the employer is not responsible. In the media, you often see people blaming and complaining about the security personnel, but they don’t think about it. Why would I really work for them for just a few hundred dollars? Even if I work as a bodyguard for the president for hundreds of thousands a year, it’s not worth it!
Just slack off on the job. Security work is just a decoration. You have already done the work, so what are the police and the FBI for?
Although Zhang Ailun was very envious and wanted to have a real gun, he had no choice. He had no ID and could not afford the charge of illegal possession of a gun. If he was reported or caught by the police, he would be sentenced to life imprisonment. The unlucky ones would be beaten to a pulp.
I can only hope that my documents will be processed faster!
I took out my cell phone and asked the fake ID dealer: Does the whole package include CCW IDs?
Fake license dealers: Not included. You have a legal gun purchase license, but no security certificate or gun license. If you want to apply for such a license, you need to add an additional $400, and we can help you handle this problem.
It has to be you!
As long as you pay money, you can do anything.
