What does C&R mean

[pittspilot]

I have seen this on a number of magazines and online sites, and cannot find out what it means. I'm a newbie.

So what does it mean?

------------------
"Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities...Because it is the quality that guarantees all others"

"If we go on waiting upon events, how much shall we throw away our resources now available for our security"

"Where there is a great amount of free speech, there is always a certain amount of foolish speech"

Winston S. Churchill

C&R means the gun is a Curio & Relic piece. In general, this means a unique or rare collectable gun, or a gun that's 50 years old. C&R collectors can get a C&R FFL which allows them to purchase C&R guns directly for their own personal use. Some states have extra restrictions.

Yes.. Pittspilot.. also in California it still does not allow you to order handguns. You can go out of state and buy a C&R handgun wuth your C&R and bring it back and you have 5 days to register it, but you can't mail order it.. really lame! I really wanna get my hands on an East German Mak...

How does one apply for a C&R permit? Are there any restrictions in NY state?

Go to the BATF website and check out the section on C&R. No idea about NY, each state has some differences it seems... Especially NY and CA...
