Handgun questions

[doncom]

Bill,

Those 3" Kimbers are shooters....



But for that money you could sure get a NICE bow.

Don,

Are the prices I posted above similar to Kimber in Texas?

[doncom]

Bill, they make lots of different models in the CC class and I'd say that price is probably MSRP. You can probably save $200 to $300 at a gun show here off of list price, but a lot of the gun stores that carry Kimber will price them at full retail.

I bought mine gently used for around 800.00,but what is your hide worth when the s--t hits the fan.I know my kimber will always go bang when need be.

Eric, if you are willing to be nice enough to drop a mag. in his hat, you could be nice and hand the gun over to me and I could walk away with it in my pocket!

I also wanted to post I learned another insane PRK law while at the gun range. In Kalifornia, ammunition attached to any portion of the weapon is considered loaded. If the unloaded handgun is in a locked case in your vehicle (how I have to transport a handgun), and you have a loaded magazine (seperate and outside the locked case), you can be charged as though you have a loaded handgun. The penalty is a mandatory 5 year prison sentence, plus 2 years per round in the magazine. Unless you are a peace officer or have a CC permit, which are not given out in most counties including mine.

Yikes!

Bill, what does it take to get a CC in the "PRK"?

And have you thought about getting one in Texas? If I'm not mistaken, you can get a CHL in Texas and carry i California under the recip. agreement.

Never mind bad info:

I have a 3 inch 45 acp kimber best shooting gun I ever own . I also have a xd sringfield 9 m sub compact holds alott of shells, shoots good its also haft the price of the kimber .

[Bill]

Don, CC permits are only issued by the Chief of Police (incorporated township like San Jose) or head of the Sheriff Dept (County), and they are flat-out NOT given out to somebody like me. I understand if you have a cash business, and need to carry large sums to make bank deposits, you can qualify for a CC permit. I've heard that other counties in the rural/ agricultural areas of CA are more reasonable, but you need to be a legal resident in that county. My hunting partner is a Sheriff and he told me "no way" will I ever get one in Santa Clara County, don't waste my time.

[Bill]

Another absurdity, you can not buy a Taurus PT1911 from a FFL in CA since it does not pass the mandated "CA drop test". Apparently it does not have a visual indicator of a chambered round, which is required to qualify. They're taking away gun owner rights based upon "safety".

No way I could live in Kalifornia,I feel for ya Bill

It ain't much better in Ill. just remember that come time to elect your next president. That is where that obama buhawga is from. If he teams up with Hillary who knows how it will turn out for the rest of the country.
