The end of Triggernomics

[hitech]

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope that the contact Tom gave you can help.

Good luck....

[TDonovan]

Wow... And I though the US firearm restrictions were a pain in the butt.

When will people understand that it's really the law abiding citizens that are hurt by these laws. The bad guys who want guns will get what they want either way.

Ugh... Sorry about your trouble man.

[manike]

Aaarrgghh Dan, I feel for you.

I also know how much of a nightmare it can be in Germany.

Good luck!

I think all of you guys in the USA should take this as a lesson- watch out who you vote for. If you dont think the Democrats, Liberals, and Anti-Gun-Nuts in this country wouldnt LOVE to get a Gov't going here like Germany has, you have got another thing coming. If you CARE about your right to bear arms -of ANY type- you had better decide what side of the fence you sit on.

Dont take this as a political jest......

Well, better yet, please do. Damn democrats (Hypocrites), Liberals (socialists), Anti-Gun-Nuts (Just plain morons).

Wow, you disgust me. Maghog posts a thread like this, and you try and use it scare people into taking your side of the political spectrum.

I'm really truely sorry to hear this. I never owned any Triggernomics products, but from what I saw, you did some amazing stuff. I can't even imagine how it would feel to have everything taken away in one swoop like that.

Nazis.

That is VERY uncalled for, you have NO idea what your saying.............

[Marchborne]

Maghog,

REALLY sorry to hear about your missfortune. Germany has all kinds of issues with looking like gun toting Nazis. The good news is that this type of thing has been going on in Germany for 10 years. There may be a way out of it. Call OPM and ask for Thomas Hiechman (sp?) he has fought a lot of these battles and may have some info to help you. Tell him I sent you.

AGD

Just to add to what TK said: call OPM, find out what advice they may be able to offer (sounds like they've dealt with similar issues before) and GET A LAWYER. You may be getting into more trouble than it's worth to keep the 'cocker. Find out from a lawyer what the issues and penalties are, and then take your next steps. If you need help finding a lawyer, send me a PM. I know a good lawyer from Munich who works here in the US, and he may be able to recommend somebody for you, depending on where you are. Good luck, and hang in there.

Sorry to rurresect a thread, but did dan ever get his stuff back?
what happend?

[Maghog]

Yes I did, and it's almost done.

[SpitFire1299]

Wow.. a year!? That really sucks.

[BobTheCow]

So, you DID get everything back? Sweet!

Feel like explaining how the rest of the process went? It's great to hear you've got everything again. :)

[snoopay700]

Damn that sucks, is there any way to get the license and then get your stuff back? because if that's an option keep the cocker hidden, try to get the license, then get your stuff back, then if you try to come back to america you'll have the license and you can take all of it with you.

EDIT: Whoops, should've read the second page, sorry.

[Maghog]

I posted this thread a few days after it was resolved.

I haven't had anything shipped here since then. I wonder what they'll say when I get my Dye barrel.

Always remember to inform yourself when taking paintball equipment across international borders!!!

[matt-o]

That's terrible.

But how can they treat an air powered anything as a firearm, since there is no fire involved? Or is it a case that German authorities greatly restrict any object that is capable of launching a projectile?

At any rate, do contact a lawyer and probably the US embassy. I trust they itemized everything they seized...

someone told me that they see crossbows as firearms in the us? but they were probably full of crap.

[paint magnet]

If you're shipping paintball stuff internationally, label it as "toy parts" or something along that line. I've never had any problems.

Glad to hear everything worked out though.
