Re: Good Argument Against a 6-Shooter

Re: Stopped twice this evening..........

He was very polite and never asked if I was armed. Unless you were not armed, you are required to inform the officer that you have a handgun. All but one of the times I've been pulled over since obtaining my CHL, the officer has asked immediately upon seeing my license. I've been disarmed once in t...

Re: Serbu Super Shorty 870 mag

No, it would still not be legal. It's still a 12 gauge shotgun, which means the barrel needs to be 18" long and overall length needs to be 26". If both of those requirements are not met, it falls either into the AOW category, or the SBS category, depending on how the receiver was equipped ...

Re: Shooting a rifle on private property?

Re: Corp of Engineers Lake

Re: Advice needed on Springfield 1911 3" models
