I'm not well-versed on what's banned. But, at the risk of being totally
wrong: It's based on how many rounds the magazine will hold, and some
nonsense about whether the stock can be collapsed or something like that,
which would make it easier to conceal, in case the trunk of your car is only
18" in any direction. It's stupid. There are a handful of other definitions
for banned guns, none of which make much difference if you really want to
hurt someone. Look at those two guys who sniped all over Washington &
Maryland. They didn't need a banned gun. They could've done the same job
with a rifle that holds just one round at a time.

Isn't the "mini-14" banned? Or is it the AR-15? I know that one of them
is
banned on the Brady Bill or whatever law the Clinton's enabled or the
senator
from CA named Diane Feinstein or whomever.

In rec.guns every now and then, someone says "....but whatever you do,
don't
buy a mini-14". Meanwhile, there are millions of them out there owned by
people who seem to like them. Any trouble with yours?

Hi Butch,

When out and about, I carry a Ruger Mini-14 stainless ranch rifle (.223
semi-auto) 2 40 round magazines and my P-90 .45 cal.

I had an alarm installed which dials my cell & home phone. It will
inform me of high water, loss of electrical power, fire, or break in.
In
case of break in, the alarm box sounds the horns and a very piercing
siren in the cabin. All in all, it makes quite a ruckus. It cost about
$600 bucks but is, I think worth it.
