Motorist Protection Act..Best kept secret in Texas

Bought by me for her. I said nothing about registration.

But you implied it with "that is in my name ". The way it reads to some is that you think it is in fact registered in your name.

That's no different than buying jewelry for your wife.

Very different, I dont fill out govt forms to buy jewelry, nor do i have to have the jewelry serial number called in.

The reporter on point 4 said "The gun must be in your name"....We don't register our guns in Texas. Why do reporters keep making up"facts" ?

The serial number doesn't get called in, they call in to do a background check on you. The only record of the sale is what the dealer keeps, such as the record in his "bound book", the 4473 Form and perhaps in his point of sale system. Nothing gets sent to the ATF, and if you have a CHL then the FFL doesn't even make a phone call to NICS. So it's actually quite similar to buying jewelry, the only difference is that the ATF can request a copy of the records from the FFL without a warrant.

When you run out of facts, just make something up!
TV continues to propogate the myth that guns are registered in all but the most restrictive loacles in the country. One of my favorite shows is NCIS, but it drives me insane when they talk about someone living in Virginia and automatically the gun is in some mythical registration database. And, pre Heller, they were acting like people in DC had guns registered to them, too. The whole reason Heller happened is because DC was refusing registrations.

That's the nature of such shows, though - they bend the truth to keep the story moving along. It's like when they get DNA matches back in hours (rather than the days or weeks it would take in real life) or worse digital forensics (I've seen backlogs of close to a year for hard drives).

And that's OK, really, when it's fictional entertainment. I guess the question is, has the mainstream news media abandoned its mission to inform and explain and just become another form of entertainment, bringing viewer eyeballs to commercials with no concern for the facts?
