Today I am speaking with retired Master Sergeant John Keene, who is the NFA specialist for the Morphy's.

From the very common misconception of a "Class III License" (which does not exist), to the variety of terms like pre-May, post-May, pre-86, post-86, transferrable, defat, deactivated, and so forth - what do they all mean?
