Do you have some Interesting State Gun Laws

[Area 52]

In CA you can have a pistol grip, flash suppresor, and foreward hand grip as long as the rifle does not have a magazine that can be detached without tools. So if the gun requires you to poke a concealed button with a cartridge to detach the mag, then that is a "non detachable magazine". So you would be able to have "assault weapon features". You can open carry if you are in a county with less than 200,000 people.

In Michigan any gun under 30 inches long is considered a pistol and subject to the same rules as pistols. Also required to take them in for the safety check (registration). Well I guess we shouldn't mention the safety check anymore since its going away soon and we will only have registration left. Also any weapon thats registered as a pistol...you can CCW it according to the police at the station when I registered my PS-90.

t did not pass but it was proposed in Minnesota that handguns have a minimum 10 pound trigger pull - for the children don't you know.

Well that's pretty dumb because if the child can't just pull the trigger, odds are he won't give up. Then he'll put it on a table and use 2 thumbs and lean over the gun putting some of his body weight on the trigger. Eventually the firearm will discharge and the child will be injured or killed.

NC CCW makes it illegal to conceal anywhere you 'pay an admission fee'..how that got wiggled into the 'normal' list of schools and govt offices im not sure...but movie theatres are supposed to be off limits???

Connecticut:

Select fire weapons and certained named semi-autos not registered prior to Sep. 1994 are considered illegal scary assault weapons. Possession = felony offense.

But full-auto weapons not capable of select fire (full-auto only) transferred in compliance with NFA procedures are just ducky.

So state.gov doesn't mind that I have a belt-fed M60. But a select fire M16 would make me an evil assault weapons owner.

Don't forget that in CT we MUST have our CARRY permit to even go to the range. Heck we even need it to be legal if we want to walk across the street to show a neighbor a hand gun because the laws say you must have the state pistol permit to transport a handgun in ANY condition by ANY means of transport. "ANY condition", to me, means it could be detail stripped down to the last spring and locked in five separate containers and it wouldn't matter if you get caught without your permit. I have an ex-coworker sitting in jail right now because he went to the range without a permit and was popped by an undercover statie doing permit spot checks. He's facing 6 felony charges because he had three handguns. Illegal possession (outside the home) and illegal transportation of a handgun for EACH one. But, that's what you get with a hard headed good ol' southern boy who thought it was "stupid" to need a carry permit just to go the range. Well, Bubba...sometimes ya gotta play by the rules even if they don't make sense. Too much at stake to loose if ya don't!

The ONLY provision for transporting a hand gun in state without a CT permit is if you are going to/from "formal training". And, no, target practice at the range, according to the XO of the SFLU, is NOT "formal training". You must be able to prove the "formal training" thing by either being on a sign-up roster when going or have a certificate or something "formal" in writing documenting the class that is dated.

In the quiet town of Connorsville, Wisconsin, it's illegal for a man to shoot off a gun when his female partner has an orgasm. You can't make this kind of stuff up.

Even if he's "shooting blanks"?
And how about if she's faking it? Would that be "getting off " (sorry!) on a technicality?
I'd love to see the back story on this one... there's gotta be a reason someone introduced this in the first place.

Arizona is, for the most part, gun-friendly. There are still some bizarre laws regarding other weapons, though.

Sucks that you can't carry into ANY establishment that serves alcohol on-site for consumption. So, that pretty much rules out all "adult" restaurants, including the crappy chain stuff like Friday's, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday's, etc. And AZ is NOT like FL where you can dine in the restaurant but have to stay out of the bar area. In AZ, you can't even legally walk through the front door when carrying.

 

[blackcash88]

In Az, it is illegal to conceal carry a weapon LARGER than 6' long.

I am 100% certain that that is completely untrue. There would be a lot of guys in trouble for carrying full size 1911s if it were.

Uh, dude, you do realize that 6' translates to six FEET, right?

6" = six INCHES.

In Florida, you can be as drunk as you want and carry concealed, but you aren't allowed to handle a firearm drunk.

Interesting that they trust us that much, you know, with the streets being red with blood and all.

You cannot carry a BUG in New Mexico. Only one firearm can be carried at a time.

MA:

not buying or POSSESSING ammo or COMPONETS without a permit.

Pick up a spent casing without a permit and you're a felon.

Connorsville is an unincorporated community in Dunn County, Wisconsin, located along the South Fork of the Hay River within the town of New Haven.

It is known for having as many bars as churches, and for having more cows than people.

According to urban legend, it is illegal for a man to shoot a gun in Connorsville while his female partner is having an orgasm.[1] This claim is dubious, however, since the area is not even incorporated.

I can't find a back story on the law and I can't find a history on the town but you have to love a place that has a "Golden Frog Saloon". Just speculation since it was in the middle of timber country it may have originated during the 1800's when the midwest was being built by Wisconsin White Pine and frontier towns were a little frisky.

When I was a little sprout growing up in Rhinelander Wisconsin some of the streets were gravel or brick and some of the taverns frequented by my family had the old tin ceilings with a couple or more holes in them dating back to before prohibition. I don't drink anymore but I still have fond memories of the old pot belly stove with the ising glass windows, the spittoons and the new fangled Wurlitzer juke box. The lumber cars coming into town to the paper mill were pulled by steam engines and most stores still had a hitching rack out front for all the old timers who came to town Friday night in their buckboards.

Almost had a riot in Rhinelander in 1849 when the blue nosed Yankee's passed the Graham law making liquor sellers post a $2,000 surety bond, made them fiscally responsible for damages caused by their drunken clients and forbid the selling of beer on Sunday, (an 1859 restriction). Then in 1914 Kaiser Bill was hung in effigy and since half of Rhinelander was German that didn't set to well. Looking back its hard to understand why there weren't more holes in the ceiling.

In NC, machine guns are regulated under our Weapons of Mass Destruction law, and other NFA are restricted to a bizarre list of other individuals like "merchants" and "scientists" (fortunately, "collector of firearms" is also on the list. )

We cannot CCW into a bank, but we can OC into a bank.

In Chapel Hill, NC it is illegal to open carry a gun SMALLER than roughly 8" long. So it's fine to walk around with a .500Mag in a chest holster, but not a small Glock on your hip.

In Ohio you have a machine gun if it is capable of firing more than 31 times with out reloading. But it is not illegal to own magazines capable of holding more than 32 rounds.
