Possible. But,JALLEN wrote:Thanks. I think that is the way to go. There is just too much chance of getting a cart before a horse in this deal and ending up actually taking longer to straighten things out than otherwise it would take. I can carry just about any place, just like you guys can. I spent today looking for 30.06 signs and 50% signs, 226 tucked discretely away.gthaustex wrote:JALLEN, the application is good for 1 yr as you found out. The CHL-100 class completion form is good for 2 yrs for an original ( non renewal) application. Renewals are good for 6 months. I would wait as others have said until you have a residence here that you can place on the application. Welcome home.....
I saw one 30.06 sign but I think the type is too small. I saw one sign that unlicensed possession is forbidden...... I can live with that.
Finding the right house may be a problem. Because of my lung disease, and being on supplemental oxygen, I need a one story house with electric range, no gas, no open flame. I also need to be able to have some exterior antennas for radio purposes, not as easy as it sounds, or as I would have expected. The last time I put up an antenna in these parts, there was no permit, no restrictions, nobody TO ask if it was OK. Anyway, that rules out hundreds of homes that are for sale. That said, we've identified a couple of dozen possibles, and will be taking closer looks in the days ahead.
BTW, the TSA crawled all over my oxygen concentrator on the flight to San Antonio. It tested positive for explosives, strongly, they said. They finally cleared it but took their time, tested it every way, consulted, scratched their heads, etc. Could that be from being at an indoor range recently?
Do you need to clean any of the connections or any other part of the device? What do you use? Do you use a Hydrogen Peroxide based mouthwash, toothpaste? Get some on your hands and transfer the residue to the device? The analyzers are very sensitive and one of the components that they screen for is oxidizers. Concentrated H2O2 peroxide cleaners could leave enough residue and/or accumulate over time and lead to a false positive. This one of the reasons they limit fluid content. Toothpaste with whitener, hydrogen peroxide, will always test positive. Ditto H2O2 based anything.
I started investigating the explosive residue thing after my grandsons Tae Kwon Do uniform had tested positive after my daughter soaked it in OxyClean to remove some staining. They were traveling to the world championships and decide to carry on the uniform in a garment bag to reduce wrinkling. Big Mistake.
