We now have a mobile web site thanks to GoMo (which is funded by Google). Allows you to build a mobile web site for any web site almost automatically. The system auto builds a template based on the existing URL and let’s you go through and tweak it. It literally took me 10 minutes to build an entire mobile capable version of the Eagle Firearms web site. Pretty slick! Mobile devices are auto-redirected to http://m.eaglefirearms.com upon connecting to the site.
Here’s how its done:

I’ve gotten a couple emails recently asking “when does hr 822 go to the senate?”
Actually H.R. 822 went to the Senate right after it passed in the House, however, the true next step is to get the bill out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. To do that a hearing is required, and currently there are no hearings scheduled for it but you can watch it at that link.
Remember the Senate is made up of a large number of anti-gun people so it will be difficult for any type of gun law to make it through the committee. If the committee does approve a Senate vote on H.R. 822 then Harry Reid will decide if it makes to a the Senate Floor for a vote.
Anti-Gun Senators that would most likely shoot this down:
Patrick J. Leahy
Chairman, D-Vermont
Herb Kohl
D-Wisconsin
Chuck Grassley
Ranking Member, R-Iowa
Dianne Feinstein
D-California
Orrin G. Hatch
R-Utah
Chuck Schumer
D-New York
Jon Kyl
R-Arizona
Dick Durbin
D-Illinois
Jeff Sessions
R-Alabama
Sheldon Whitehouse
D-Rhode Island
Lindsey Graham
R-South Carolina
Amy Klobuchar
D-Minnesota
John Cornyn
R-Texas
Al Franken
D-Minnesota
Michael S. Lee
R-Utah
Christopher A. Coons
D-Delaware
Tom Coburn
R-Oklahoma
Richard Blumenthal
D-Connecticut

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed an important self-defense measure that would enable millions of Right-to-Carry permit holders across the country to carry concealed firearms while traveling outside their home states. H.R. 822, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act, passed by a majority bipartisan vote of 272 to 154. All amendments aimed to weaken or damage the integrity of this bill were defeated.
This bill does not affect existing state laws. State laws governing where concealed firearms may be carried would apply within each state’s borders. H.R. 822 does not create a federal licensing system or impose federal standards on state permits; rather, it requires the states to recognize each others’ carry permits, just as they recognize drivers’ licenses and carry permits held by armored car guards

I wanted to write a quick blurb because I’ve recently received several questions about private transfers of firearms.
These are federal laws, I will speak a little bit to Washington State since we reside there. However these federal laws apply to everyone in every state. Your state may have more restrictive laws.
Transfer in State
It is legal at a federal level to do a private person-to-person transfer of a handgun or long gun to someone living in your state. I highly recommend (and some states may require it) that you fill out the states private transfer documents, as there are no federal documents required. (Click here for Washington State Form) This is only to protect you as the original owner, as the ATF or FBI through dealers may only track to you as the last weapon owner, a private state form would allow them to see proof you sold/gave the weapon to another person living in your state.
Its actually legal to ship a long gun person-to-person inside state borders without a dealer involved, however UPS and FEDEX usually will not allow it. USPS does however. It is NOT legal to ever ship a handgun in state without dealer involvement. Safest mode? Have your local FFL help you do any shipping of any firearms.
Transfer across State Lines
It is a felony to both the seller and the buyer to sell, give or transfer any long or hand gun to a person living in another state without dealer involvement. The only exception to this law is if the firearm in question was bequested (will’d) to the person in the other state. You can then transfer the firearm to them. I would keep that very well documented, or just do it through a dealer for safe measure.
So remember if you want to give/sell your any gun to someone living in another state, even a relative, you must involve a dealer in that transaction. It is a felony not to do so.
Antique or Curios Relic firearms are exempt from this law.
It is legal to temporary “Loan” or “rent” a firearm to a person of another state for temporary use.

I updated my article on Silencers due to a change I didn’t notice even happened in April of this year. House Bill 1016 signed in by the house and the senate of washington this year legalizes the use over silenced weapons. This is a great change in Washingtons usual conservative view on firearms ownership. You still need a Class 3 dealer to do the transfer for you as the federal government considers these Type 2 items. This will require a $200 SOT fee to the BATF as well as the dealer transfer fees, plus WA state tax. Type 2 weapons also require fingerprints and a 2×2 photo be attached to every transfer document. So if you are prepared and have the cash its now legal to get one.
If you already have one, or moved into state already owning one, you are all set, its legal to have on your gun now.
