How many times do I need to type "it's illegal" to own
a sawed off
shotgun. At least in my state.

Sawed-off? Nothing sawed-off about a shotgun with a
federally-legal 18"
barrel.

I don't think he knows that, Max, and he doesn't seem real
interested
in learning despite my saying it, so I quit.

Far as I can see, he's bought a new boy toy. Nothing wrong
with that
but it's like Bobsprit talking about using an angle
grinder to polish
gelcoat, or his famous powered router bits. Just because
you can or
might own something doesn't make it a good tool for a
particular job.

He's got a rifle that's at least as long as a legal
shotgun, fires ammo
with way excessive range and penetration for an
urban/suburban
situation, and won't be as effective at sub 50m ranges,
let alone sub
10m ranges, as the shotgun. But hey, it has a big
magazine, a folding
stock and a flash hider. Probably came in way cool black,
too. With a
laser dot sight, no less, just like the military use.


If he likes it, and it gives him piece of mind, then it's
the perfect weapon, for him.
