I got my information from an incorrect source. It happens. At least I go looking in the first place. Everything else is checked and in order. Was there anything else or ya just want to gloat for a few more pages?

About the leg shot issue. If you cap someones knees with a shotgun, then I doubt that they would be able to run/walk any further.

Re: Do You Carry A Gun?
Well technically they aren't illegal, but getting the appropriate tax stamp for one isnt really worth the trouble. The National Firearms Act of 1934 is what made them illegal (and gave us the infamous Miller decision).
There are a few you can buy which run right at the edge of legal from Remington, Winchester and Mossberg. Ultimately though, what's the point? Its still going to be over a foot and a half long, weigh about 5 lbs, and have a limited capacity. Not exactly the best concealed weapon choice. It doesnt make sense period, regardless of our gun laws. The 1934 NFA a wonderful example of why blaming the gun doesn't do shit to reduce crime. There has been no benefit to it as far as anyone can see. Criminals who are going to use a short barreled shotgun, a full auto firearm, or a silencer are still going to do so - and have. Quote:

The idea of shooting for the leg is the dumbest fucking idea anyone ever came up with. If you're trying to avoid using lethal force, use something other than a gun. If the situation calls for lethal force, then it calls for the person to be killed, not an attempt at incapacitation. Lets also not forget that a shot in the leg has substantial potential for being lethal - or did you forget the femoral artery?

Re: Do You Carry A Gun?
Sorry.
One of the classic jokes - O'Reilly was sitting in a bar and he goes to the bar tender "You see that church over there? I built it with my bare hands but do they call me O'Reilly the church builder? Nooo! You see that school over there? I taught there for 30 years but do they call me O'Reilly the educator? Nooo! But you fuck one goat...."

Re: Do You Carry A Gun?
It is interesting to note that the Colorado church shootings were stopped by a lawfully armed citizen.

Re: Do You Carry A Gun?
This reminds me of the guy who comitted a bank robbery with an AK-47 and eleven 100 rounds drum magazines, while wearing his home made bulletproof suit. Imagine if that guy was out on a killing spree instead - he could indeed have killed hundreds and then some with that gear.
