When I left the UK I had a shotgun certificate. It listed all guns by make & serial number, recorded transfers and also recorded all ammunition purchases. I wish I could find it now.

my grandfather still thinks i'm wasteful owing more then 3 firearms, i would guess that many of the previous generation didn't have large firearm collections for one reason or another
Anybody working in a convenience store after dark should be issued a firearm by their employer.
So I'm curious... the verbiage on the card says that he 'filed a good and sufficient bond'.
Was that the .45 cent fee, or did they have to actually leave a deposit with the court?

A Colt 45 at that. Very interesting piece of history. Thank you for showing that to us. Very unique.
1974? we all toted guns license or not and a knife
I lived in a small town in Virginia back in the early 70's. It was nothing to see a farmer carrying a six shooter on his side. It was a open carry town and it didn't draw attention or people weren't oohhing and ahhhing. It was just common place to see farmers carrying firearms out in public. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Like I said if you grow up around it you just don't react to it like you would now.
I started policing in 74 and as best I remember open carry was legal under state law, but local ordinances could make it illegal. The "toter's" permit was a may issue deal. And unless you knew the right contacts, you would never get one.
That was my first permit,you had to be bonded back then.You could get a land owner to "go on your bond',the bond was $100.00.Each gun had to have a license and a different bond.Got my first one when I was believe it or not 16 man those were the good old days.BTW got my first "Special Deputy" ID at 18......
