This is probably the case because the criminals in question aren't well informed enough to know of this (most people have no idea that distinction exists) and that they can just as easily get more effective, concealable, modern pistols for their purposes. This reminds me of that one video that was posted here several years ago made by gang members showing off their guns and some guy brings out this bizarre looking rifle that most people on the forums had never seen before. Turned out to be some weird thing that had never really been imported and had a small production run.  The video really shows that 1. criminals really can get anything they drat well please and 2. that there are a lot of neat guns that don't make it to the U.S.  I doubt that he even knew what he was holding, but still it was really surprising to see.

Or buy a LeMat revolver and pop a .44 round ball into the opposing gang, followed by a 16 gauge slug. Imagine what a prolonged black powder shootout must look like. Late-19th-century London fog and huge muzzle flashes everywhere.. So if black powder guns and pre-1898 guns aren't actual firearms in the U.S., are they legal to carry anywhere or what are the rules for that?

It's probably still considered a (deadly?) weapon and toting one around downtown Seattle will still get you an impromptu visit from four or five patrol cars.

Late-19th-century London fog and huge muzzle flashes everywhere.. Depends on the state. Carry laws are all state level. Hell, we have two states that have NO laws restricting concealed carry (Vermont and Alaska, I believe). Most places have anti-carry statutes that simply say that people are prohibited from carrying concealed "weapons" without a permit, and then go through a list of weapons as examples. Some stuff gets selected by name because of political scare-mongering (nunchucks and throwing stars are common, due to all the early 80s era "think of the children" hand-wringing about Kung-fu movies), while other stuff is pretty self-evident ("guns" or "Firearms") It's also worth noting that the ATF definition is not necessarily the legal definition for a state. So, no, going "This is a black powder revolver and not technically a gun, officers  " probably isn't going to work.edit: e;fb but with more wonderful, delightful words

Major Topfenstrudel posted:Also, how do you keep your gun pointed at the clerk and retrieve cash from the register when the gun is like twice the length of your arm? That's what the bayonet is for. They throw the money in the sack and you grab it with the bayonet and be on your way. Major Topfenstrudel posted:Yess!

Another interesting thing is that rifles with folding stocks here have to be registered as pistols. I often wondered if I could use an underfolder AK and a carry piece just to say that I could.

Supposedly, that's why the one guy can sell the "bringback Volksturm-modified" 12"-barreled Gew88. Between my not knowing for certain, and certainly not being sure that Washington State's No Fun Allowed restrictions would allow it, means I didn't spend the $130 or whatever as a gag gift for Cyrano4747. No one else seems willing to test it, either, as I first saw that back in like April or so, I think.

Those grips look miserable. Everything else...looks...miserable. edit: the grips just look far too rustic for all that engraving. Not saying the engraving is particularly good, it's just that the grips don't "fit." Also, listing posted:GOD BLESS AMERICA ON THIS DAY 9-11-2009.

I think in the last picture it was resting on the edge but as he took it it slid along the sink and fell between the tub and the side of the sink. Guy probably just said "gently caress it". Bathroom photo session = selling for drugs?

Now that you mention it, that appears to be a toiletries bag there on the sink counter in the last pic. That's not something you'd see in a home bathroom (at least not out on the counter like that). It looks like you're correct.

That's what I figured, but it was weird. I've only been to a handful of hotels in my life so I'm not familiar with all the things they have these days. I was confused by the whole paper card thing used as a key.
