Hey there,Just thinking in hypotheticals you understand, if I found a firearm that was not legal I would keep the information to myself (telling or showing no one). Assume the government is routinely monitoring electronic communications and records for keywords and phrases (remember the NSA and others). Authorities, like the police or ATF always think crime is everywhere, so there is no reason to bother the poor dear people and complicate their lives.Say you found a German Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44) assault rifle (a very valuable collectable, $28,750 and more…Rock Island Auction: German - STG 44)Examine the weapon and document it carefully. That means gathering a lot of information on firearms in general. Use the public library’s computer and put the data into a portable USB drive. Hide the necessary information in that bulk of that research.In the meantime stabilize the weapon, that is clean and oil it. Store it in a vapor proof bag with desiccant to control moisture.When all data is gathered, strip it down and clean it properly while documenting each step in the process. Check for worn parts that need to be replaced or remanufactured.If the weapon appears safe, test the weapon by proof firing it, semiautomatic with several single shots and a small bursts under automatic (in a remote location, no one must know).Strip it down and clean it. Then put it into long term storage called caching (http://www.patriotrising.com/PDF/Smuggling%20&%20Caching/WeaponsCaching.pdf this is a PDF of a book on the subject)For The Zombies or other stuff you want long term storage for.Then when you are near death, you can pass it on to the next guardian.Regards

In general, Cabotage refers to shipping along coastal routes between foreign sea ports, and also to the restriction on the operation of vessels between sea ports within a particular country.The Indian Cabotage rules are contained in Sections 406 and407 under Part XIV of the Merchant Shipping Act 1958 (the Act).The Merchant Shipping Act as is existed today has 24 parts. The review committee appointed by the Government of India, in 1991 under the Chairmanship of DG(s) to study the provision of the Act in its entirety and give suggestions for amendments taking into consideration the International Convention which India has ratified but not statutorily enacted, has suggested comprehensive amendments to the Act including the amendment of the preamble of the Act.Cabotage law in India provides right of first refusal to Indian flagged ships for coastal shipping. Such or similar laws are there in various other countries of the world, with the intent to promote/protect interests of domestic shipping industry.The first Indian Merchant Shipping Act was enacted in 1923, the provision of which were in line with the U.K. Merchant Shipping Act, 1894. After independence, taking care of new conditions and changes that have taken place in the Shipping Industry, a comprehensive legislation passed by Indian Parliament in 1958 known as Merchant Shipping Act, 1958. The Act has been constantly under revision and amendments to ratify the changes approved by the International Maritime Organization, through its conventions and protocols, to which India is a Member.BASIC HISTORY:1.1.1. India has been a seafaring nation for centuries. She has built up a glorious maritime history and tradition much before the rise of European maritime powers. The Indian ships used to sail across many seas and carried on prosperous trade with Asian and Middle East countries. Since the advent of British Rule, the development of indigenous shipping industry was discouraged because of preferential treatment given to British shipping. The restrictive British navigational laws not only hindered the growth and development of Indian shipping but gradually made it disappeared from High Seas.1.1.2. The Indian Merchant Shipping Law as it existed in 19th century has never been on sound footing. The British law was applicable to Indian ships trading in international sea voyages as these ships were required to be registered under U.K. Merchant Shipping Act and therefore, technically they were British Ships although registered in India. The Indian Merchant Shipping Law was nebulous and sketchy. Between the years 1938 to 1947, the following legislation on merchant shipping were held the field (a) The Bombay Coasting Vessels Act, 1938 (b) The Indian Registration of Ships Act, 1841 (as amended in 1950); and (c) The Indian Merchant Shipping Act, 1923. The first of the three enactments referred to above dealt with regulations of seagoing vessels. The 1841 act embodied in it provisions relating to registration of sailing vessels. Both these enactments had, however, been so modeled as to apply only to small coasters and sailing vessels. The third Act, namely, the Indian Merchant Shipping Act, 1923 was fairly comprehensive. Indian Merchant Shipping Law consolidating the provisions of the earlier two acts was supplemented by passing of the Seamen (Litigation) Act, 1946 and Control of Indian Shipping Act, 1947. This Act had, however, only consolidated the laws on merchant shipping and it did not revise the law and therefore, was found wanting in many respects. The provisions of the International Conventions with respect to Load Lines, 1930 and SOLAS, 1948, both of which were ratified by India were later on incorporated through Indian Merchant Shipping Amendment Acts of 1933 and 1953.1.1.3. Immediately after the independence to suit the requirements of a maritime country like India, the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 was passed by the Indian Parliament. This Act had made good the main deficiency in the earlier laws that they did not provide for registration of what may be termed as Indian Ships. Certain enabling provisions were also incorporated in the Act to accelerate the pace of development of shipping in the post independence period. This Act is divided into 24 parts, each part dealing with specific aspects of merchant shipping like registration of ships , sailing vessels and fishing vessels, National Shipping Board, manning of ships, engagement, discharge and repatriation of seamen and apprentices, safety of passenger and cargo ships, control of Indian ships and ships engaged in the coasting trade, collisions, prevention and control of pollution of the sea by oil from ships, limitation of shipowners' liability, civil liability for oil pollution damage etc.AMENDMENTSThe different parts of the Act came into force on different dates as indicated below:-(i) Parts I & II came into force on 15.12.1958;(ii) Part IV came into force on 17.3.1959;(iii) Section 7, Part XIV (including Section 405-414), Section 436, (in so far as it relates to offenses mentioned against S.Nos. 122 to 125 (both inclusive), Sections 437, 438, 439, 440, 441, 458, 459 and 460 and so much of section 461 and of part I of Schedule as relates to the Control of Shipping Act, 1947 came into force on 1.4.1960;(iv) The remaining provisions of the original Act (except the amendments made subsequently) came into force w.e.f. 1.1.1961;(v) Part VIA -providing for obligation of certain certificate holders to serve Govt. or in Indian Ships was inserted by amendment Act of 1979 came into force from 4.5.1979;(vi) Part IX A- dealing with nuclear ships inserted by Amendment Act of 1966 came into force from 28.5.1966.(vii) Part X A -giving provisions for limitations of liability of owners in case of certain damages inserted by Amendment Act of 1970, came into force from 15.9.1972; (viii) Part X B- giving provisions for civil liability for oil pollution damage was inserted by Amendment Act of 1983 came into force from 18.5.1983;(ix) Part XV A- giving provisions for fishing boats inserted by Amendment Act of 1983 which came into force from 18.5.1983.1.2.4.

The Govt. of India in 1991, set up a Review Committee under the Chairmanship of Director General of Shipping to review the Merchant Shipping Act 1958 in its entirety taking into consideration the international conventions which India has ratified but not enacted statutorily. The Committee has gone into depth of the provisions of M.S. Act 1958 and has suggested wide ranging amendments of various sections including the preamble. The intent and purpose of the Act is better explained in the suggested preamble by the Review Committee which now includes to provide for registration of Indian ships, safety.of ships, welfare of seafarers etc. These suggestions/recommendations of the Review Committee are under consideration of the Government to amend the M.S.

Cargo and foreign ships are allowed only when no suitable Indian flag vessel is available for this purpose. However the shipping ministry in 2015 relaxed the cabotage law for five years to allow special foreign flagged vessels such as roll-on, roll-off (Ro-Ro), pure car carriers, truck carriers and LNG vessels to facilitate transportation of cargo along the country's coastline.You can download the copy of Merchant Shipping Act 1958 (the Act) here. https://www.ilo.org/dyn/natlex/docs/ELECTRONIC/32645/76823/F.../IND32645.pdf

The grant was recorded on eleven copper plates that were strung together on a copper wire and stamped with the Pallava royal seal—a bull and the phallic symbol associated with the god Shiva.The inscription begins with a eulogy written in Sanskrit lauding the king. Details of the land grant, written in the local language, Tamil, follow. This passage from the Tamil portion defines the relationship between the land grant recipient and the local village community.Having seen the order. . . we, the inhabitants, went to the boundaries which the headman of the district pointed out, walked around the village from right to left, and planted milk-bushes and placed stones around it. . . . The recipient shall enjoy the wet land and the dry land included within these four boundaries, wherever the iguana runs and the tortoise crawls, and shall be permitted to dig river channels and irrigation channels. . . . Those who take and use the water in these channels by pouring out baskets, by cutting branch channels, or by employing small levers shall pay a fine to be collected by the king. The recipient and his descendants shall enjoy the houses, house gardens, and so forth, and shall have the right to build houses and halls of burnt tiles. The land included within these boundaries we have endowed with all exemptions. The recipient shall enjoy the exemptions obtaining in this village without paying for the oil-mill and looms, the hire of the well-diggers, the share of the Brahmans of the king, the share of shengodi [a plant], the share of figs, the share of lamp black, the share of corn-ears, the share of the headman, the share of the potter, the sifting of [rice] paddy, the price of ghee [clarified butter], the price of cloth, the share of cloth, the hunters, messengers, dancing-girls, the grass, the best cow and the best bull, the share of the district, cotton-threads, servants, palmyra molasses, the fines to the accountant and the minister.Source: Kasakkudi Plates of Nandivarman, South Indian Inscriptions, Archaeological Survey of India, vol. 2, part 3 (Madras: Government Press, 1896), 360-362.Source: A Copper-Plate Land Grant InscriptionFigure: Text of Copper Plate Inscriptions of Grants to Brahmins (Source: பக்கம்:A hand book of Tamil Nadu.pdf/118)Figure: Copper plate inscriptions indicating grants for Brahmins (Source: Indiancopper plate inscriptions - Wikipedia)Entire villages were granted to Brahmins - which they lease farmed to Shudras and lived luxuriously. Temples in India were among the richest in the world. None of this unearned wealth was taken away from the Brahmins even when the Muslisms ruled India.Many of the claims that the Brahmins were poor and discriminated in India in the past or present is a shameful lie. Brahmins are one of the most prosperous castes in India dominating Indian politics, judiciary, bureaucracy, private sectors.It is sad to see bottomless greed.
