Taking a pistol and slapping it into a chassi and calling it a rifle is, like modern day society and I idenfy as.
Having used a KPOS, and owning a Hera Arm CPE, personally there are better carbines out there. They tend to not shoot as smooth and are clunky.[/QUOTE
You can call it a car if you want.
IPSC has decided that a Kidon with a pistol is a PCC. A bureaucrat in Ottawa says it is a revolver wrapped in a stock. The lawmakers in the US decided it is a Small Barreled Rifle. It can be whatever the powers that be say it is. There was a time when a pistol was a firearm that was designed to be shot with one hand. Colt read the tea leaves and decided to make a rifle by mating a buttstock into the frame. put a long barrel on it and call it a rifle. You can buy replicas of that gun today and it still is called a rifle. Our criminal Code says if you do exactly the say thing it remains a pistol even though the replicas I mentioned are rifles. The function is the same but the definitions as to what they are is different. Who wrote the definition of a pistol in the Criminal Code, I assume, didn't want folks making their own rifles out of their pistols. Manufactures could do it but individuals can't I guess. I have no issues with the decision but it makes no sense.
What PP indicated to me and others at his rally here in Terrace, was his government would re-write the Firearms Act. His government intends to change the method of Classification of firearms, and make it so no future Government by way of OIC or by ordering bureaucrats to classify firearms on their own. I have no idea how but lets see what he comes up with. There will remain three Classes just what goes where will change as well as the definitions. He implied the way the guns operate and their intended uses would dominate the Classification and not a picture of what someone thinks is a dangerous firearm or by it's name. aka AR-15, CX4 Storm, and Scorpion. That would be a major win for us. Personally I would like to see any replica of an Antique black powder pistol be in the same class as Antiques are now. I have held two 1858 Remington revolvers. Aside from the patina of the original it was identical to the replica and in as good a shape.
