Local AO rang and enquired about the situation then told the father he would not be able to retain his FAL while his son was payroled there. AO informed father that he would send an officer there shortly to collect. To which the father replied, "Sure, I will have him (son) packed and ready for you to pick up. If I have to choose between my license and the son, it is an easy choice as he had bailed his son out many times before."

AO suddenly did not want to come out and collect anything- Father kept his license.

I did almost the exact same thing...except told arms officer the lad was now his responsibility .....
