There’s a Midnight Run joke here somewhere, but I have other things to do.

I have two pistols – can someone tell me how to “register” them so I don’t suffer this fate?

In the burbs of Chicago (Where I live) I am allowed to possess firearms but not carry concealed or otherwise. In no state that I know of do you have to register each and every firearm you own. When you purchase a firearm from a dealer – BATF gets a copy of the info, but that isn’t registration.

Every time I hear about someone getting busted for an ‘unregistered firearm’ it turns out later that they were just not legally allowed to posses such item (or carry it about their person). Farina as an ex-LEO is allowed to carry concealed (at least in his home state). This is a dumb charge and it should never have gotten trumped up to a felony.

Farina is one of my favorite character actors as well- some of his best work was on the 80’s series set in the 60’s- “Crime Story”, which I loved. But about the story…it’s a shock, considering that before becoming an actor, Farina was a Chicago police officer!

So this ‘unregistered weapon’ stuff is just crazy. Farina of all people!
I’m pretty sure he’ll cooperate. As for forgetting one’s handgun is within carry on luggage getting on a plane? Maybe. But..why did he forget to register it?
