Sam1911 I think the operative word in the statute is "shotgun shell" the secretary says has a sporting purpose. Remember this thread? I think this question has come up before, but for a rifle.

Sure, must be careful, but it looks as if Taurus may be setting the precedent and although the Secretary can change their mind, an established precedent is hard to overcome. It seems apparent that a 12 gage handgun with rifling may be legal just as a 28 gage seems to be without a tax stamp.

Looks like I may have been right. http://cheaperthandirt.com/blog/?p=5980 28 gage is larger than .50.

I can agree that the reason why it may not have been tried before is because of cost exceeding benefits, but I wondered why it has not been at least experimented with, but I see now they did with artillery rounds in the past (after Wikiing the subject after someone said the Germans did some...

That is another thing, would these look like tracers?

Oops, my bad, I meant at THREE times the speed of sound.

I already said, to possibly either extend the range by keeping the bullt up to speed for longer, or to increase the speed without increasing recoil.

I forgot to mention the bullet would be propelled to supersonic speed out the barrel by normal means and would already be going supersonic when the jet engine part is activated. And yes it would be a ramjet or better yet a scram jet principle. At sea level the speed of sound is about 2,200 MPH...

I wonder why I never heard about this idea attempted, a bullet with a simplistic jet engine. Bear me out, it sounds more complicated than it sounds, this idea would have no moving parts. Ok we all know about the Gyrojet rocket bullets, but with a jet engined bullet half the propellant would...

VA handgun transport when not worn openly... http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-308

That is if it is loaded. If unloaded and in a case I think it comes under the handgun transport statute of VA, but I have to look up the specifics.

In MD under parts of law (like tax law) a hotel room is not your "domicile" unless you have lived there a long time and list it as your only place of residence and as your address for taxes, voter registration, DL, etc. In MD a "domicile" is not necessarily the same thing as a "residence" in MD...

Not really near the DC area, but well worth the trip is Delmarva Sporting Clays on the Eastern Shore. As long as it is legal and as long as you clean up after yourself and it is not dangerous, they pretty much allow you to shoot at whatever you want. It is a good idea to call them to double...

Desidog, the idea is to place it in one place and maybe move it, if ever, only a few times a year maybe. As for the type of guns allowed on commercial vessels in a state's waters, well since we know commercial ships carry shipments of guns in from overseas to market and vice versa, I would like...

Hmm, this makes me wonder if reloading the really long Nagant revolver cases with shot would make the Nagant revolver an excellent snake shot gun. Maybe it would allow the use of much larger size shot?

Yes, all valid points, but people in some areas get away with house boats built on barges in city harbors and for some areas it is way cheaper than owning waterfront property at a harbor. Now as far as the docking fees, if the vessel was moored a little out in a shallow bay there would be no...

I believe state territorial waters is three miles out and federal is twelve miles out. So from three to twelve miles out I think it is fed jurisdiction and beyond that you are leaving the country as I understand it. Now here is the other catch, even if in US territorial waters, what if the...

You can still shoot them without a permit.....in a friendlier state. Depending on what part you are in, drive to PA and have some fun, just buy the powder, cap and balls when you arrive and shoot it all before going back.

That is where the adjustable pylons idea came about. If it is moored at a dock or anchored off the shore a little ways in a bay or harbor, then the water would be relatively shallow and the pylons would not have to go too deep before hitting bottom and hold the vessel steady, or possibly even...
