- I don't think the dealers drive them from the factories to
- the dealerships, so I guess there must be some way to move cars
- around from point to point without actually driving them. Now, I
- happen to have a driver's license and I register my cars for use
- on public highways, so I would probably drive it home. But I
- don't suppose it would take any great ingenuity or cost very
- much to arrange an alernative. If you buy a bulldozer, I don't
- think they make (or would even let) you drive it home.

- Hmmm, you lost me there. Do you really think that handgun
- purchasers would pay to have their purchases delivered in
- numbers sufficient to support some sort of delivery service?
- Seems pretty unlikely to me. In any case, in Maryland, and
- probably everywhere else, handgun purchasers are required to
- personally execute the State and Federal paperwork required to
- document the transfer of ownership. Since they have to be there
- anyway, there is probably no market for your concept.
