Is it legal? (to carry a weapon)

[WoolyRhino]

Again, give peace a chance....but http://www.paladinarmory.com/SBSAOW.htm#PUMP My choice if I had to go down that road. Frankly, a cell phone works best

Ever hear the phrase "When seconds matter, cops are only minutes away"?

How about a .45 hollow point?

If it were your loved one on the other side of the wall?

Downstairs? Aim for the feet. If the situation requires another shot, he'll be on the ground.

Upstairs? Squat & aim for the head.

That's why I like .40 cal. It's a big, slow piece of metal that will stop once it hits a target. Lot of PDs went to them because 9mm has a habit of going right on through without causing much damage. Too small a round for the powder behind it.

For home protection, though, I'm with the Texan. 12ga shotgun loaded with 00 Buck, not magnum rounds. Clears a hallway without having to waste time getting a bead on the subject and low potential for collateral injury or loss of life. In situations like a burglar or whatever, most people will be too rattled to take an accurate shot.

I'd like to have a taser or something that will knock them on their ass, then I stand over them with a gun til the cops eventually show up.

I've heard lots of people say a shotgun is best in close quarters but I don't understand it. Mine is about 4 feet long from armpit to the end of the barrel. In close quarters such as in a truck cab, I'd want something shorter that they can't grab the end of the barrel & point away from themselves with one hand while coming in with a knife or a handgun with the other.

I say if you can't hit a target in close quarters with a handgun, you shouldn't even own it.

Easy... buy the 18.5" barrel and a pistol grip, problem solved.

Accidentally pulling the taser trigger every time he moves.

I need a taser. It might be the only non-lethal way to capture this pit bull when it breaks the leash.

And then you'll either have a pistol, or an illegally modified firearm.

There's a form that must be submitted and approved before you can swap a stock to a pistol grip.

II wonder how effective a machete might be? Crook breaks window, reaches in, loses hand/lower arm?

Fire your firearms legal advisor.

Katana the best
But this is not legally and bad if you doesn't know how to do it

 

[TRUCK3R M1KE]

Fire your firearms legal advisor.

My advisor is a Class III Dealer that supplies/services Highway Patrol + multiple County & City departments. I think I'll take her word. Especially since it's been backed up by every other shop owner I've ever spoken with.

:bs:

My Mossberg came with two barrels (26" and 18½") and two choices of stocks (full longarm style and pistol grip) in the box, from a certified arms shop. That may be a state law, but not in the state I purchased my shotgun in.

For the record, I used the Mossberg for home protection. I didn't like the pistol grip, so left the long arm stock on it and put the riot barrel on it. I kept it with a shell in the chamber and the action open. There are very, very few people in this country who do not understand the sound of a shotgun being racked. That's all the warning a criminal will get from me. It really does work, too. I know from experience.

Bull****

Yep

So what. Fire her. She's a moron. (Unless there's a state law, .. what state do you live in?)

Terrylamar used to own a gun shop in Texas.

 

[Gus]

A Remington 870 Wingmaster with an 18.5" barrel , loaded with 00 buck, sits next to my bed at home. The only warning the first guy will get is the safety clicking off. The second guy will hear the rack, if he's still in earshot.

BTW... I checked with the US Marshals last time I called them out after an over zealous DOT tried to hassle me. They told me 18.5" barrels were OK with a pistol grip.

No matter whether you are legal in the states or not......

A large portion of the places you pick up and deliver freight have rules against weapons........

I carry a Thomson submachine gun and a Mini 14 and no one has refused to load or unload me, ever.istols::surrender:
