I am asking this for a friend of mine. He wants to pick up a M16A3 for a few reasons that make sense to me. He owns and lives on a small ranch about seventy miles from Tucson. He has been what can almost be seen as under seige from UDAs (undocumented aliens in the politically correct language, ILLEGAL ALIENS AND DRUG RUNNERS in plain speak)
On any given week, he says that at least two to three hundred people cross his land. The Border Patrol responds to his calls, but usually too late. He has lost sections of fence, found live stock butchered, some times killed without any meat taken (he understands hungry people and can alomst forgive them, but not the joy killing of his cows), his barn broken into, and other such things.
The final straw came a few months ago. He was away on business and his wife was home alone. When she heard a noise from the front of the house. She saw four or five HEAVILY armed men standing on the porch. She is no fool. She slipped out of the house and hid in the barn until they simply left. She is a retired Army nurse who spent two tours in a front line medical unit in 'Nam, so when she told me that these guys were shouldering AK's I believe her. My buddy has the usual array of firearms found on a ranch, hunting rifles, shotguns and handguns. I talked him into getting a AR-15. But if he needed to go heads up against full auto's he would be in tough shape.
Anyway, back to the original question. The top LEO is the county sheriff. He will not sign any document, for anyone to get the tax stamp to buy a NFA firearm. I suggested a lawyer to force the issue a bit. Does anyone know what the possible avenues of appeal are? Can anyone explain to me the hoops that need to be jumped through if he can't get the letter? This is a good, honest hard working man who is scared for his family and has a right to be.
