Certified expert?

[EQGuy]

I bought a Remington 700 ADL Varmint rifle last week and I picked it up this morning. In California you now have to demonstrate to a person certified by the state that you can safely load and unload the rifle. He demonstrates the proper procedure using a dummy cartridge and then you have to show that you can do the same. I noticed he was having trouble figuring out how to remove the bolt from the 700 so I showed him how you have to press the bolt release lever under the trigger. Even though I have a hunting license I still had to be instructed by a "certified expert" before they would release the rifle to me. It is a strange world we live in.

Better you than me. I like California, at least parts of it, but hate it's stance towards guns, and traffic in southern CA sucks almost as bad as their gun laws do.

I would love to be there to see what happens when someone buys a cap and ball revolver.

Or maybe remove the bolt from an old Model 600 Remington.

It certainly is.
We can all likely learn something but true experts can be few and far between.

It is a strange world YOU live in, not the rest of us.

Parts of rural California are some of the most beautiful spots on this planet, unfortunately there are those large cities and that is where the laws are made.

Same story here in New York.

I was once told the definition of an expert:

EX--an old has been

PERT--a big puff of hot air

Today's expert is tomorrow's fool

You have to wait a week to pick up a rifle you purchased?? And you still live there?? And you have to show the expert how to do his job?? Oy

And you still live there??

And the rest of us think we are safe from the politicians. Not sure who is foolish here. Join the NRA and fight back now!
