• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Little suggestion

So i had a thought earlier tonight.

What about another forum that deals only with different state laws and regulations. Too often in other forums we have to preface things with "laws in your state may vary..."

What i am suggesting is 50 individual forums each dealing with a sperate state. I think this would be incredibly useful not only for hunting, legal and politicial issues, but for those of us travelling across different states to hunt or transport firearms.

Let me know your thoughts.

thanks.
 
I'm not sure that structuring such a beast in a forum format would be the best solution. When people ask questions in L&P, we invariably get about a half-dozen "helpful" comments from other members that begin with, "I think..." or "I'm pretty sure..." or "My buddy says..." :rolleyes:

If you're interested in a website that records the laws of the 50 states and gives sources for users to independently verify information, try http://www.packing.org or http://nraila.org/GunLaws

Take a look at these sites and let us know what you think. Is there perhaps something about the formats of the two links above that you think could be improved? If so, let us know and we'll look into it.

Thanks,

-Dave
