A made in Montana website developer building independent online tools to help us promote, protect and exercise our firearms freedom. I am a 20 year veteran operator and trainer in the emergency roadside service industry. Starting with a childhood and teen years spent in school and family construction in Miles City, MT. Then beyond to Reno, Las Vegas and Northern California after politicians ruined the economy in the late 70's. After having a child my amazing wife and I moved from Tracy, California home to raise him in the last best place. My health since has now restricted me from working outside of my home and here we are today providing a different public service because there is nothing more satisfying. VOTE to help keep Montana pro-gun and I'll keep building and maintaining tools for us to exercise our RTKBA locally online. Feature ads or donate to help keep the lights on and keep me motivated.

I have no interest in dealing with people from out of state because I'm not going to ship through an FFL. If I wanted to do that, I'd sell on Gunbroker. I am not going to sell a firearm to someone I haven't met regardless of if they pass a background check.

I already ignore ads that want me to fill out a bill of sale or go through a dealer. I don't want to buy from someone that doesn't trust my word and I won't sell to someone I have any doubt about whether they should own a firearm.

Yes but they need visitor badges, like their state shape under username or something

Haven’t we voted on this before?
If my aging memory is correct, we voted it down. Why keep revisiting something already decided?

I'd be very surprised if 50% of membership will even participate in a poll, much less all vote yea, so it seems rather moot. However, I understand the need to prove the question was posed to/answered by whatever percent responds.

We revisit this because I reject people often at registration who try to join from out of state. I share this poll with them when they throw a fit in my inbox. Of course we wish they weren't, but gun rights become more of a state's rights issue every day. This is why we're helping build sites like this for other states like the most recent nevadaguntrader.com. I've also obtained Wyomingguntrader.com and will eventually get it up and running if enough Wyoming residents show interest. Tell them to use the contact form in the footer if they are interested in helping.
