As I am a proud owner / collector of Dan Wesson revolvers I thought it appropriate to display the same with the use of a personalized license plate here in the Commonwealth of PA. I was requesting: DW-357. I received a call from the bureaucracy yesterday asking what this represented, and when I told her all about the gun, its history and how beautiful looking it was she said they would not approve my request because "guns represent violence" and the state of Pennsylvania does not approve violence. Agh! I wrote an email to Rep. Casey saking him to look into it for me. People are violent not guns. 
Oh well, maybe not a big deal her on the DW Forum but I thought you would be interested in this topic.

That is crazy... Only a small few would even know what that means!

It's a shame you didn't just say "It's my Grand fFather's initials and birthday". Isn't it absurd that the State feels they have a right to restrict this. Wait isn't that a violation of your 1st amendment rights?

Exactly! What they don't know, they can't deny you for.
Unfortunately, you probably can't sneak another attempt past them now.

It definately is that big a deal jaggman - you're a firearms collector, they have no right to censor a service that is (optionally) provided to all other citizens. By the same token, they probably do have guidelines so bad stuff (profanity) dosn't get out there - but maybe it's time to give the guidelines a little sanity check...
Contacting your rep. is a good idea, but also contact your State Senator.
and keep us posted.

Same logic might apply to PIT BUL?
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Jaggman, since we share the same state I thought i would share that theri is a personalized plate in our town that has 375H&H on it. Wonder if that is a birthday or something?
My guess is the guy likes BIG Rifles. Maybe you should try 7445VH10?

SMF,
BIG rifles huh. Your suggestion is one too many characters. (7 max) When this is over I'll post my plate on DWF.

They have no right to ask that. If it's not profanity, or hate crime related or sexist, it's not their business. That is a crock.
I have my own personalized plate, related to my favorite shooting past time. My older Blazer, but I have the same plate on my Trailblazer.

Update: I just got back from the office of Hon. Douglas G. Reichley, PA State Rep, and his office is going to personally submit my request to the Dept of MV. They said that my denial was "inappropriate". Pic to follow..............

A friend of mine, who once drove a Mercedes 240D (4-cyl non-turbo Diesel) had a personalized plate that read "2FNSLO". He only got away with it for 1 year.
