The same places you shoot semi-autos of the same calibers. Sure... some ranges don't allow NFA firearms, just as some don't allow presentation from the holster, but those are both good reasons to patronize a different range. That's particularly true given the current economic situation.marksiwel wrote:If you dont own large amounts of land, where do you shoot a full auto in Texas?

People have actually had Garcia sign off on Form 4's? If that's true, Talon Arms will probably be getting a call from me later this year about an SWR Spectre.Rugrash wrote:I went the trust route b/c nobody would sign in Harris county, but now we're hearing that Adrian Garcia will sign.

Re: Suppressors For .22 - No Special Licensing?
There is also talk that the DA (Pat Lycos) will too. I personally haven't had any experience with either one...so take it with a grain of salt. My good buddy was doing some remodeling on Adrian's house, but he never actually asked him point blank about it unfortunately. I guess the only real way to find out is to call their offices and ask. But yeh whenever you're ready just call Rob.hirundo82 wrote:People have actually had Garcia sign off on Form 4's?

Re: Suppressors For .22 - No Special Licensing?
so whats the point of having a Suippressor if you live in an area where the only place you can shoot is at the range?

I dont think it is illegal to CCW it, but I would have a copy of your tax stamp in your wallet.marksiwel wrote:so whats the point of having a Suippressor if you live in an area where the only place you can shoot is at the range?

Re: Suppressors For .22 - No Special Licensing?
Correct. Actually you can carry a concealed (legally registered) machine gun too, though it might not be a good idea. The legal federal registration of a machine gun, silencer, short barreled shotgun is a "defense to prosecution" of possessing Prohibited Weapons under Texas PC 46.05.rm9792 wrote:I dont think it is illegal to CCW it, but I would have a copy of your tax stamp in your wallet.marksiwel wrote:so whats the point of having a Suippressor if you live in an area where the only place you can shoot is at the range?

That means it would be a good idea to carry proof of your registration. Then again, when the Texas CHL law was first passed, having a CHL was only a "defense to prosecution" too

4/13/1996 Completed CHL Class, 4/16/1996 Fingerprints, Affidavits, and Application Mailed, 10/4/1996 Received CHL, renewed 1998, 2002, 2006, 2011, 2016...). "ATF... Uhhh...heh...heh....Alcohol, tobacco, and GUNS!! Cool!!!!"

At the GRB show Saturday, I heard some yahoo telling someone the reason his Glock was compensated was because it has a selector switch. And then he proceeded to draw the pistol to show off the switch.

Doesn't Glock make a full auto pistol? Like a Glock G18? I'm not a Glock fan but noticed that it does exist

Well Mark I don't play computer games, which I'm assuming Call of Duty Modern Warefare 2 is. That's for the younger crowd.

Re: Suppressors For .22 - No Special Licensing?
Why do I need a reason other than "It's cool and I want one"? Most of us own a number of guns we will probably never do anything with except shoot at the range.marksiwel wrote:so whats the point of having a Suippressor if you live in an area where the only place you can shoot is at the range?
