As our viewers are aware, Firearms Industry Consulting Group (FICG), a division of Prince Law Offices, P.C., declared yesterday, September 3, 2013, as the National Firearms Act (NFA) Day of Reckoning in response to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) proposal, ATF 41P. By all reports, the NFA Day of Reckoning was a success!
We have received numerous responses by individuals stating that they sent out multiple letters to their State and Federal Representatives and Officials regarding ATF 41P. Please note that these correspondences were NOT comments, as the comment period has not begun. Rather, these correspondences were dealing with preliminary issues which the DOJ and ATF have ignored, although required by the law.
We were made aware that our blog appeared on Fark.com, Examiner David Codrea discussed it in his article “Gun Lawyer Group calls for tomorrow to be ‘NFA Day of Reckoning’“, the NFA Day of Reckoning was blogged about by Attorney David Hardy on his blog, Of Arms and the Law, it was listed and discussed on multiple internet forums, and included in part of an article on GunMagazines.com. Additionally, Chief Counsel Joshua Prince and Attorney Tom Odom spoke with the Chief Counsel for the Pennsylvania GOP regarding these issues.
Even with all of this response, we still need more. We are inviting all of our viewers to respond to this post with what action they took yesterday for the NFA Day of Reckoning. Also, for everyone who was unaware or unable to send letters yesterday, the fight is not over! You can still submit letters to your State and Federal Representatives and Officials. If we all work together, we can stop ATF 41P from being enacted; however, it is going to take a concerted effort on everyone’s part.

With our 2nd Amendment rights being attacked at both the Federal and State level, and the ATF (Burea of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) trying to close down FFLs (Federal Firearms Licensees) for minor infractions while making FFLs the scapegoat when the ATF's records are inaccurate, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am one of only a handful of attorneys across the US that practices in the niche area of law known as firearms law. I decided to concentrate my legal practice on firearms law not only because I am a shooter and firearms enthusiast, but also to ensure that our inalienable Right to Keep and Bear Arms is never encroached upon.
I handle cases at the Federal and State level for both FFLs and individuals. At the federal and state levels for individuals, I actively defend the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution and Section 21 of the PA Constitution, as well as, help individuals with:
- License to Carry Firearms Denials;
- Challenges to Erroneous PICS Denials;
- Relief from Firearms Disabilities;
- Estate Planning Advice;
- Gun/NFA Trusts; and
- 42 USC 1983 Actions for Deprivation of Civil Rights
At both the state and federal levels, I represent FFLs and SOTs throughout Pennsylvania and the US regarding:
- ATF Compliance Inspections;
- Warning Letters and Hearings;
- FFL Revocations;
- Corporate Structure Advice
- Indoor/Outdoor Range Implementation; and
- Forfeiture Proceedings
In following my love for firearms and firearms law, I have taught several Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars on Firearms in Estates and Trusts and Firearms Law 101 for several Bar Associations, including Berks, Cumberland, and Dauphin Counties. I also planned and taught several Firearms in Estates CLE classes for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI).
While at Widener Law School, I was a member of the Widener Law Journal. I wrote an article on the Inaccuracy of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR). I also had an article published on Fee Disputes in Workers Compensation cases in the Widener Law Journal, Volume 18, No. 2.
You can often find me posting on several internet forums, including Subguns, Uzitalk, AR15, and PAFOA. I also hold PA Firearms Law classes for local ranges to inform the public on the firearm laws of the Commonwealth.
Following in my father's footsteps, I am also a Board member for the Pottstown Police Athletic League (PAL).

I sent mine out letters snail mail thinking that the impact would be larger; was this a tactical error, and was latency more important?

I don’t believe it was a tactical error. We’ve had people mail, fax, and email their letters. What we need to ensure is that our Representatives understand the importance of this proposal and why it should be stopped.

Sent out 4 letters via snail mail. I, too, felt that a physical letter would leave more of an impression than simply emailing.

I snail-mailed letters to my two federal senators, state senator, federal rep, state rep and my governor. And I shared your post on Facebook and invited others to join in.
