Mark: I want to thank you for checking this info with White Lab for us. $600 is cost prohibitive except for expensive guns IMHO plus it appears they only do cursory examination of proof....
....This, in my opinion, will require government intervention. With this in mind, the ultimate goal would be consumer safety and prevention of fraud.
What's a hand, an eye or even a life worth. I suspected there'd be complaints about the lab, heck give 'em a fair shake, they're doers. What if bubba gets his hands on a two hundred dollar pump gun, or god forbid, Larry thinks your gun is 'potentially unsafe'.
I can appreciate your concern. There is no safe gun and the real fraud is claiming there are other uses for guns besides killing people

. Here's hoping you had a great Christmas, and have a Happy New Year.
