    I have an E-cat question so makes sense to use this thread. I was told by a fella at guncity that when they 'buy' new e-cat firearms and bring them in to the country they have to destroy one (usually a cheap Chinese one) because the Govt/Police department have to regulate the number of e-cat firearms in the country??? As in they only want a certain number.

    He also when on to say that all the people that applied for their e-cat endorsement after the pistol grip saga don't really have a "real" e-cat, it's only permitted to change over their existing firearms because of the law change. A.K.A if they want to apply for a permit to procure and purchase a new e-cat firearm, they can't...

    Please tell me for the love of God, that this is aaabbb-sol-ute bollllucks.

    Thought so.

    But still he sounded so sure that he believed the malarkey that was coming out of his mouth

    @Kscott

    You can put down any reason you like on your E Endorsement application.

    I always add "And Any Other Lawful Purpose"

    I've had an E endorsement since inception and have never had any issues.

    Others I know have had a few surprise inspections.

    Cheers
    Pete

    One of the actions that the Police might try to insist on but there is no legal standing for it I can see. ie Just read the law and regs, be great if you can spot such a clause for me as I cannot find it.

    To put it into perspective before people get too upset, a 'criminal' can be used to describe someone who has a criminal conviction by the courts, which David Tipple openly acknowledges he has. Ergo, the statement, a 'crim', is factually correct and not slanderous nor libelous

    Hell, my father was one of the cops who came to see him after he threatened some skinheads with a shotgun after they broke the aerial off his car.

    To bring a successful defamation prosecution you would have to prove what is being said is a false statement AND it is detrimental to peoples view of your character which I dont think is occuring in this instance.

    Of course he's referring to Tipple, who else has spent time in a US prison?

    I guess I will say what people are thinking.
    Yes many may not like GC like me but if they are the cheapest I will deal with them.

    They honoured a warranty on an item of theirs which I didn't buy. They didn'thave to but they did .

    We all may bitch and moan about them and yes David tipple is a felon, but there are far worse people out there. He has good business sense and if there was an issue about him been near guns, then they wouldn't be dealers would they.

    I think enough has been said about the Tipples and gun city so let's end it there and move on.

    They have shit we want and I will be buying a few rifles from them in the next few months.

    And I bet deep down, people will buy from them just cause they are cheap. Yet they won't admit it in this forum. Will they.....

    Also how did we get here from an e cat question anyway.

    I don't buy from them because they are not cheap


    We ended up here because a mis-informed (or bullshitting) Gun City salesperson was spreading misinformation about E endorsements.
