I spoke with AGC Bailey today. The regulations were sent to the Secretary of the Commonwealth and will become effective on 7/20/07.

I am further told there were no substantive changes from the proposed regs for which the public hearing was held. This means the manufacturer, not GCAB, is supposed to certify compliance.

Additionally, the drivel about 3 years' worth of advertising being required to document the "formal target shooting competition" purpose of the firearm is also a requirement.

Note that we now have to wait for GCAB to actually develop a policy and application for this certification. As it should closely follow that procedure already in place for "consumer safety" standards, this should not take anywhere near as long.

We'll see............
