Law Enforcement Agency RESTRICTED! Cannot be owned by ANY individual! Beretta PM-12s 9MM Submachinegun Very Good condition. POST SAMPLE Need L.E. Love Letter, on Form 5
NOT TRANSFERABLE CALL

(Post Samples & Pre-Samples are NOT transferable to the public,
they are restricted to C3 dealers & Govenment Agencys ONLY)

1. You must be 21 years of age or older and legally able to qualify
for the purchase of a regular handgun (meaning no felonies, violent
misdemeanors, dishonorable discharges, etc.)

2. Pay us for the product, payment must be in full.

3. Get two 2"x2" passport photographs taken. Attach one to the
reverse side of each of the two copies of the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms & Explosives (BATFE) Form 4 we give you.
These photos typically cost $5 to $10.

4. Complete a small section on the reverse side of the BATFE
Form 4 that declares why you wish to possess the item. Most folks
say "Collector of firearms" or " Investment Purposes".

5. Take the two copies of the Form 4, with pictures attached and
your section completed to your local law enforcement agency
(city police, county sheriff, judge or other acceptable official ).
Also take the two FBI Form FD-258 fingerprint cards we 
give you. Ask the agency to officially take your fingerprints.
This will usually cost $10 to $15. Also ask to have the chief of
the agency complete his/her section of the reverse side of the
Form 4. This merely attests that you are not wanted locally and
that the official knows of no law which will be broken if you are
approved by the government.

6. Bring us the two copies of the Form 4 and both completed
fingerprint cards with a USPS money order made out to the
BATFE ($5 for an "Any Other Weapon" or $200 for a
short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, silencer or
machine gun) for the required transfer tax. We will then put
the two copies of the completed Form 4's, the two completed
fingerprint cards and the money order in an envelope and
immediately send it to the BATFE office in Atlanta, Ga.

7. The BATFE will first remove the money order and examine
the paperwork for completeness. Assuming the paperwork is
complete (it will be, or we will not mail it in), it will be assigned
to an agent, who will have a nationwide FBI background check
performed on you. Once you pass this (all legal folks over 21
pass it), the BATFE will mail us back a certified copy of one
of the Form 4's we sent them. On this copy will be a stamp that
looks like a postage stamp. This is a Federal tax stamp
indicating the transfer tax is paid.

8. When we receive this Form 4 back with a stamp on it
(currently about 11 MONTHS  after we mail it in), we will
call you and have you come by the shop to complete a BATFE
Form 4473 and give you the product along with the Form 4.
You should immediately make several copies of the Form 4
and carry one with you at all times while you have the item.
Be sure to put the original in a safe place.

Once you have legal possession of the Class 3/Title 2 item
you may not take the item across state lines unless you notify
the BATFE in writing before doing so. We have these forms
available for free. You are not asking for their approval but,
instead, merely letting them know you are taking a Class 3/Title
2 item across state line(s) and when you will depart and return.
(Not required for Suppressors or A.O.W.  but recomended.
You better know the State law where you are going.)

You may not loan this Class 3/Title 2 item to anyone! You
may not store this item at a friend's home who has access to it.
(Can be stored in a locked safe that only YOU can open) This
is a restricted distribution item. To possess it requires
(at the very least) an extensive background check. You are
obligated by law (and common sense) to prevent anyone
other than you from gaining access to it. You may let others
use the item if they remain in your physical presence
(under your control). If you decide to sell the item you must
bring the item to us (or another Class 3 dealer) and the buyer
to legally effect the transfer. The buyer then has to go through
all the steps described above and pay the required transfer tax,
plus a $50 fee to us to handle the paperwork, etc.
Should you be so attached to your prize possession that you
keep it until your passing, you can will it to your next of kin
without payment of transfer tax or order it to be sold with
payment of required transfer tax. However during either of
these 2 processes only the administrator of the estate can
have possession of the item. There will be a $50 fee to us
to handle the paperwork, etc in either case.

You now should have a complete understanding of the
steps and obligations on your part. Please feel free to
phone us at 850-477-2223
After 6pm weekdays, weekends just call.
