Why not? They issue mandates on toilet tanks.
Anyway, I was listening to the radio in my car yesterday, and the "news" had a story on about the recent "spate" of SoCal freeway shootings.
It seems the herbivores are getting spooked, and those with means are looking at ways to improve their chances in such an encounter. Inquiries to a local "bullet proof glass" installer have increased enough to where the station considered it worth interviewing the guy.
I didn't catch all the details, but the gist of his quote was you couldn't buy and install such glass without a federal permit.
That should come as news to Bulldog Direct Protective Systems Inc., "your 'One Stop Source' for Bullet Resistant Products for the Home, Office, or Vehicle."
According to their FAQ:
"Purchasing and Installing Bullet Resistant Glass Systems in the USA is perfectly legal. No Police or government permit is required. We do suggest contacting your local building / fire inspector with regards to building codes, inspections or / permits needed."
So what gives?
Is the news wrong or spreading disinformation?
Has some new "Homeland Security" edict come into play that Bulldog doesn't seem to know about?
I do know there are edicts regarding body armor.
Welcome to the Land of the Second Amendment--where you not only can't possess the means to actively defend yourself in many locales, but the means to passively protect yourself are also denied
