Thanks! lol Anything more than a hinge action shotgun out there in CA would probably get you buried under the jail. Actually, I believe the threaded barrel on my HK USP Tactical would be enough to make me not move there. If that wouldn't do it, I'm SURE they would frown on the others. lol
In CA M-1 Carbines and Garands are legal to buy. Good enough for the 82nd Airborne is probably adequate for any mess that I will see. Lots better than a hinge action shotgun. Of course a hinge action double barrel coach gun with number one shot puts 50 each .30 caliber projectiles down range before you reload, which kind of makes the 10 round magazine limit kind of meaningless.
