Howdy (again) all,
This will be my last word on the subject and I am unanimous in this. What we have going on here is a difference of opinions. We are each entitled to our own. Not to put too fine a point on it, the only opinion that counts is/will be that of the BATF if they are ever directly involved in a specific circumstance. I for one have no interest in sitting down with them and pressing for an opinion. Some day, someone with this assembled collection of parts and pieces will find themselves in the clutches of the G Men and he will find out exactly what their opinion is. I pity that fellow.
To further muddy the waters, I believe some here have seen that there is often a lack of unanimity of opinion within that august organization; so, even then, you're still likely to find more than one opinion. While ignorance of the law is no excuse, I'd prefer not to risk my liberty to the ignorance of those who have to apply this particular area of the law.
I know that I started this discussion looking to confirm what I believed to be the case. Now, I feel like it is time for me to bow out as I don't think I have any solid evidence to further the discussion.
Respectfully,
Rev. Chase
