Pistol Toter's License

[dakota port]

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.

could you take the shotgun to the united states with you when you left? did you have sell it or give it to the police when you left if you couldn't take it?

i'm wondering if people have to leave family heirloom firearms when they leave

My New York State pistol permit had each individual gun listed, by make and serial number (no room for the model).
Some guys with big handgun collections had to have additional cards issued by the Court to give enough paper for recording all the guns they owned.
Just the other day I found an unused "purchase coupon" for my NYS gun permit... you had to give it to the seller when you bought a handgun , and that seller had to bring it to the Court to get the gun taken off his or her license or otherwise make the paperwork reconcile.

I'm glad to leave all that crap behind.

Although, this morning it's 24 degrees and my deck is covered in ice. I feel like I'm still in New York at the moment.

Where in NY.. ? I know it wasn't the 5 Burroughs since NYS pistol Permit is not valid there.. Binghamton/Ithaca and Syracuse here...

I sold them before I left. It was at short notice, so not something I looked into.

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

Probably cost.

Some folks think owning more than 3 fishing poles is wasteful, or more than 1 vehicle or more than 1 pair of shoes...... To each his own.

Licensing to carry in Georgia started in 1910. Before 1910, Open Carry had always been legal for a white man since the founding of our state. A lot more information here - http://www.georgiacarry.org/cms/georgias-carry-laws-explained/history-of-georgias-carry-laws/

In 1906, Clark Howell and Hoke Smith battled for the Democrat nomination for Governor. The candidates spent much of the time debating how best to disenfranchise black men, spreading fear about "Negro rule", and claiming to be the most ardent white supremacist. After the election, the newspapers published 4 stories in rapid succession about attacks on white women by black men and other stories about an epidemic of black crime. 20

On the afternoon of Saturday, September 22 1906, thousands of white men and boys, agitated by the continuing flow of newspaper stories about black on white crime, gathered in downtown Atlanta. After midnight and for two more days, the mob attacked black-owned businesses, blacks riding on trolley cars, and black neighborhoods. Once the Blacks learned of the riot, they secretly armed themselves and then effectively defended their homes and families from the invading mob, while the police protected white neighborhoods and property. 21

In the years following the riot, white voters and the all white General Assembly systematically disenfranchised and then disarmed blacks in Georgia. In 1910, the General Assembly imposed licensing requirements with the intent to disarm blacks by using the same seemingly non-discriminatory manner that successfully disenfranchised Blacks two years earlier. To possess a firearm a license issued by the Ordinary (now know as probate judge) must be applied for and granted. Applicants had to be: a) at least eighteen years old or over b) give a bond payable to the Governor of the State in the sum of one hundred dollars, AND c) a fee of fifty cents.22 $100 in 1910 is equivalent to over $2000 in 2007 dollars.23 In the unlikely event a black man could post the bond, the Ordinary, who was always white, since blacks could not hold office, could be counted on to deny the application. Judicial Immunity applicable to the Ordinary meant that Blacks were unable to challenge the license denials.

To further the illusion that this law was not discriminatory against blacks, the Georgia Supreme Court decided Strickland v. State. The Court ruled the 1910 law was Constitutional because the law was within the purview of the police powers of the state.24 At this time, the police were all white and often members of the KKK who could be counted on not to enforce the law against white people.

Open Carry - Ok with License
Issuing Authority - County Ordinary
Concealed Carry - Prohibited
May or Shall Issue - May
Car Carry
Fee - $.50 plus $100 Bond
Public Gathering -Prohibited
Term -3 years

Interesting to read the history.

I always wondered why older people called them Toter's licenses.

Me too, I just assumed it was southern slang.

Looks like the Dems are still playing the same game. Except today, they are claiming whites are mistreating blacks and are racist in an effort to insight the blacks against whites. I.E. BLM, ANTIFA, etc. All to gain more political power and votes.
