One of the reasons why I don't have the license.  Such a pain in the
*ass*. There's also storage and tracking requirements for each and every
firearm, as I understand it.  I just don't have the time to devote to
that at this point in my life...

It would be nice though - no doubt about it.

	I hear you on that. I have a friend who had a class 3 license.
Offered to sell me a full auto MAC-11 Style weapon for around $800 (his
cost) to do this though I had to pay $400 in transfer fees in teh state of
virginia and have the local police chief sign off on it within 24 hours. I
gave it a pass becuase I just did not want to jump through that many hoops. 
	He eventually gave up the license while in law school because he did
not want to have to deal with the specter of a BATF audit at any time. Last
thing he figured he needed to have happen durring exams.
