Have my 8.5 Grizz. Can I put a Pistol Grip on it?

[HOSSONE]

It sucks that people feel the need to hide away somthing that is perfectly legal because the people enforcing the rules don't know them. In reality we should be showing them off and letting people see them so that people would maybe learn the rules and be less negative. The sad fact is if you get charged and don't cough up the $$$ for a lawyer you may not get off even if you are in the right not to mention the time involved. Like i mentioned earlier i am curently building a pistol grip single shot 12 guage for a truck gun. It will be well within the law but i will also do my best to be discreet in fear of being harrased. We need to have a "bring your gun in public day".

For truth! I bought my 8.5 Griz for a truck/camp gun and plan to use it as such. I just don't understand how we have gotten to the point where a lot of law abiding people (including myself) are nervous about enjoying/using/carrying firearms in perfectly legal ways. I'm only 46 but gowing up in central Alberta almost every truck had a rack in the back window with a rile and either a cattle prod or a curling broom on it. I remember parking downtown many times with my father or grandfather leaning over the tuck box talking to our local RCMP staff Sargent about the crops or cattle prices etc. Now I spend almost as much time teaching my daughters not to be ashamed of their interest in shooting and guns and how as I do on safe practices and handling. Along with this comes the 'Police Officers are your friends (which is what I was taught) to MOST Police Offiercs are your friends but not all Police Officers like people to own guns and not ALL Police Officers know all the rules about guns and we have to be careful even though we are not breaking the law..........

It's sad really.

I agree totally!

You and I are similar ages and I'm happy to say, as you I am educating my child about firearms and will soon be taking him to the range. If we all educate and increase our kids understanding about firearms then we all get stronger then maybe some day retarded ####ing cunts like Councellor Adam Vaughan in Toronto will #### off and die and not impede the progress of shooting sports in Canada...

OK, serenity now...


Cheers,

That should be a slam dunk if they think you cut the barrel. Let me know if you need technical info, affidavit, etc. Feel free to email me directly.

the cops need a little bit of class room time or somethingor just go out and work the street for bad guys

Just to add to the confusion I read another post somewhere that you should leave part of the the gun showing out of the pack to avoid a 'concealed weapon charge' which didn't make so much sense to me on a practical level, as well as drawing unnecessary attention to the fact you have a gun, intent should have some application if this became a legal issue?

I was always under the impression that if the gun wasn't loaded and the lock was on you couldn't be charged with having a concealed weapon......

I could be wrong though.....that would truly suck
