How many of you collectors have a c&r license? I'm thinking about getting one myself. Any reason(s) not to? My wife is hoping someone here will talk me out of it.

Go for it, I say!

Hey, if you visit The Box of Truth website, that guy will convince you that you NEED a C&R.

Can you ship handguns via US post office when you have a C&R license?

A C&R holder cannot ship by US mail.

The c and r license is worth it in most states. The state of NJ has said that it will not recognize c and r licenses for the purchase of handguns or any other weapon classification.

Wrong. You can ship long guns via postal service.

Handguns no, you can use UPS for that.

The Brownell's and Midway discounts you receive for having a c and r more than make up the $30/3 year fee.

Having guns shipped directly to your door is a happy factor.

Exactly. About five years ago I was buying Enfield bayonets wholesale and selling them on ebay. I was netting about $1k a month only working two hours a day.

But I also bought a lot of C&R guns, both rifles and pistols. Oh, that $1k I was making, I spent on guns.

Not unless you lived in Spain. That was the only negative feedback I ever left while selling.

My 1914 P-08 Luger is my only old collectable. Guess I don't need one.
