[QUOTE="Fr Mulcahy, post: 4239213, member: 42567"] BATF Antique firearm definition: [URL]https://www.atf.gov/firearms/firearms-guides-importation-verification-firearms-national-firearms-act-definitions-antique#:~:text=For%20the%20purposes%20of%20the,similar%20type%20of%20ignition%20system[/URL] My understanding is that antique firearms do not require the federal background check. I know people who have received antique rifles through the mail, or at a pawnshop without a background check. However, every seller is free to set his own requirements, in addition to obeying federal, state, and local laws. In my opinion, you would be better off (given your legal status) using something other than a firearm (whether antique, C&R, or modern) for your self defense weapon. Your best self defense weapon is really your brain. Remember the three basic rules of self defense: 1. Don't hang around stupid people; 2. Don't go to stupid places; 3. Don't do stupid things. And yes, I have to remember those three laws every day to help keep me out of trouble. [/QUOTE]
