- show quoted text - If I weren't such a law abiding citizen I could. :-) I can't do that legally in MA. If caught with it, there goes my gun permit and technically could be subject to fines or prosecution. Can't order one from out of state and have it shipped and transferred to my by a FFL either. All Kimbers are simply illegal to own here unless they were made before 1998 and only *if* they were always in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I know. It's crazy. But them's the rules here. --- Moving out of state can cure that... |

Sort of flies in the face of claims that they only want "reasonable" gun laws. What makes a Kimber any worse than any other .45 pistol? |

They either don't pass the MA safety tests, meet the AG requirements or Kimber refuses to submit any to the state for compliance testing. |

Kimber can already sell everything they make so why waste production assets on stupid states with stupid rules. |

Kimber can already sell everything they make so why waste production assets on stupid states with stupid rules. I was thinking the same thing. Kimber has high sales volume and I can't see them making a 'special' model to satisfy an angry state's resterictions just to sell a few. |

It is about money or some missing "feature" on the gun itself? |
