What the Lame Stream Media's dares not print at the risk of undermining their Liberal agenda: the Newtown Police Department is heavily back-logged with with pistol permit applications.

Yes. As it stands now, you only need a permit to purchase a handgun. You can buy long guns w/o a permit, but you’ll have to wait the 2 weeks for a background check before you can take it home. If you have a permit, you can leave with it right then. The ridiculous laws will change that.

Question about CT law. ATF says you can build you own non-transferable pistol and or rifle. There is no serial number requirement. So is it illegal to own an non-serial numbered pistol in CT?

Good question. Who gave them this information and why? Sounds like a law was broke to me.

Agreed. Assault is an action, not a device. If I remove the body on my Volkswagen and put a Corvette body on it.......do I have a corvette or a Volkswagen? Stops liberals in their tracks.

Since Liberals blame Guns instead of the Criminals who use them while committing a crime, how can there be more Guns than People?

By now the Gun Majority would have shot and killed the People Minority according to Liberal Logic. Yes, I know Liberals have no idea what Logic is.

Banning the “asses” would solve a lot of our problems.

"In any gun owning household, the # of guns SHOULD outnumber (at least 2x) the number of people."

Well, in my two person household, I'd say the ratio is around 12 per person.

Of course, that's just because my wife doesn't shoot, or I'm sure it would be more.

I know under the new law it will require permit to purchase long guns, but I can’t find any registration requirement (except for the “assault weapons” owned prior to the signing of the law) like the article states.

The only thing WFSB is good for in my opinion, is their live weather reports. Other than that, they are useless in reporting any factual news.

That’s correct. Just the existing and now, new 100 “assault” weapons added with the new list.

Every household should have:

For every adult:
1 .45ACP combat pistol
1 .308 battle rifle
1 12ga shotgun


That might be an ideal, but :

1. Not everyone can afford that,and ammo.

2. Anyone uncomfortable, for whatever reason, with a particular firearm, should not own it, except with the purpose of learning to work with it.

3. Some households have a drunk, immature or person(s) otherwise unsuited for proper use of a firearm (or pneumatic drill, or chain saw, or sub-compact car). The other peoplle in the house are the best determinant of who they are.

4. If you are not going to give the tools the practice and attention they deserve, wait until you are ready to do it right.

:shrug:

I would bet in all US towns screwdrivers outnumber people.

Is that a problem?

If not then why not?

The problem with the .410 is that most of them are choked too tight. Because of the small payload, manufacturers choke them full or fuller than full.

I have shot sporting clays with my Winchester 101 in .410 and out to about 35 yards it breaks clays just fine (not smokeballs, but into 5-6 pieces) and it is choked skeet-skeet. On the skeet field (all targets within 25 yards, it has gone as high as 97 out of 100.

The .410 gets into peoples heads, if you do your job, it will break the birds.

The poor 410 gets no respect.
Load it with 3” 00 buck and no one will disrespect it.

As far as sporting clays or kids, the 410 is considered an experts shotgun.
