Welcome to California!

[Byron In Exile]

Please be certain that your rifle is legal using the handy chart and lists below.

 

[Saint Peter]

Fuck.

 

[sigh]

I'm not even sure what most of those questions mean.

Pretty sure my old .22 is okay, though.

 

[Byron In Exile]

 

[sigh]

Oh, well that helped.

 

[RobDownSouth]

You sure do fixate on guns, little fella.

Nope, it did not pass the drop test in California.

 

[sigh]

Okay, I'll bite. What's the drop test?

Shut up. I'm providing a public service.

 

[koalabear]

Okay, I'll bite. What's the drop test?

Handgun Drop Test: shall mean a test in which the handgun in question shall be:

(a) test loaded;
(b) set such that the handgun is ready to fire; and
(c) dropped onto a solid slab of concrete from a height of one meter from each of the following positions:

1. normal firing position,
2. upside down,
3. on grip,
4. on the muzzle,
5. on either side, and
6. on the exposed hammer or striker (or if there is no exposed hammer or striker, then the rearmost part of the firearm).

In addition, if the handgun is designed so that its hammer or striker may be set in other positions, the handgun in question shall be tested with the hammer or striker in each such position (but otherwise ready to fire). Alternatively, the tester may use different handguns of the same make and model, in similar condition, for the test of each of these hammer/striker settings.

Since it is old it would not have been tested.

Koala's first date.

but it's a rifle, not a handgun

and I'm sure I dropped it at least once when I was a kid

 

[Byron In Exile]

Oh, well that helped.

It won't be in lists A, B, or C.

It's a rifle, correct?

Does it have a detachable magazine?

 

[koalabear]

Koala's first date.

She passed.

 

[Saint Peter]

She passed.

Too much Ketamine?

 

[Byron In Exile]

She passed.

So... you dropped her and she didn't go off?

 

[sigh]

It won't be in lists A, B, or C.

Does it have a detachable magazine?

Yes, it's a rifle.

And yes, it has a detachable magazine (8 cartridges, if I remember right).

But I DID drop it. I'm sure I did.

 

[sigh]

She passed.

I tried not to. It was the beans.

 

[sigh]

Too much Ketamine?

Propofol. Ketamine is harder to get.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Yes, it's a rifle.

And yes, it has a detachable magazine (8 cartridges, if I remember right).

But I DID drop it. I'm sure I did.

Okay. Does it have any one of the following —

A pistol grip
A thumbhole stock
A folding or telescoping stock
A grenade launcher or flare launcher
A flash suppressor
or
A forward pistol grip?

 

[koalabear]

So... you dropped her and she didn't go off?

Not till she woke up.

 

[koalabear]

Too much Ketamine?

Don't confuse her with your Mom.

 

[KyleW]

You sure do fixate on guns, little fella.

Indeed. With emphasis on little.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Indeed. With emphasis on little.

And when did you join the butthurt brigade?

 

[KyleW]

And when did you join the butthurt brigade?

Take a little ribbing without going full vetteman.
