New Gun Warranty Cards?

[Medic218]

Ok, this should be simple for some of you.
I bought a few guns at the Dallas show this past weekend and in all the paperwork were the Limited Lifetime Warranty cards to fill out and send back to the mfg.
My question is if this is really necessary?
Do you really need to fill out those little cards and mail them back to the mfg to get the warranty should anything happen to your new toy?

I can't speak for guns specifically, but for other items, the date on your warranty card is the start date of the Time of coverage by the warranty.
So if you date it today, you get 1 year (or whatever the term is from today), etc.
At least, that is how it works with the rest of the retail world, especially those that are "non-returnable" to the store items.

I do, Beretta will give you a extra year of warranty coverage.
