@sltrib Yeah, well, the rural states out West don't follow the rules like you'd expect if you're from, say, California, like me.
My wife and I lived in Wyoming a long time ago. One day I stopped in at a major hardware store, saw a handgun I liked, and bought it. The counterman placed all the federal registration paperwork on the counter which I carefully filled out in full. When I was finished he picked it all up, looked it over, turned, and dropped it all in the wastebasket. He said, "We don't believe in that shit around here." And that was that.
