More damn idiocy from the California Left. Until just now, I was missing the place.

This is just nuts, especially the loaded chamber indicator. If someone doesn't know enough not to point a firearm at someone (whether or not it's loaded), will they know enough to look at the indicator to see if there's a round in the chamber? Uh, no, they won't. And would you trust that indicator? Would you be foolish enough to point a firearm at somebody, just for "fun", and trust that indicator? Ooops, I thought it wasn't loaded.

Does anyone know of any handgun that fits the criteria of the law? Anyone?

In other words, he wants to take away the double standard cops currently enjoy. Maybe when their CCW rights are stripped away they will look more favorably on ALL of us being allowed to carry. Police officers should not get special rights.

My Springfield 1911 has a loaded chamber indicator, which I would NEVER rely on for determining if the gun has a round in the chamber. Of more concern is the idea of the gun being disabled if the magazine is removed. I was trained not to fire until slide lock; rather, fire all but one round and then change magazines. That way, there's a round "ready" and I can fire with the magazine removed should an opportunity/need present itself. This new law will indeed be a cop killer (and a killer of civilians defending themselves).

The law is totally idiotic, but its just one more step to the eventual banning of all guns not deemed by government to be "safe". But that's just what the morons in the Cal Legislature thought when they passed the equally stupid "gun drop test". Over 90% of the guns submitted to that little tax boondoggle passed and are now deemed "safe" by the Cal DOJ.

I predict that nearly all major gun manufacturers will adopt and engineer such features into their product lines soon, anyway. We live in a world dominated by lawyers and liability. The M2 Mauser, the Bersa .380 Thunderer, and even the Browning Hi-Power already have these features, although the Hi-power can be altered. I figure even the venerable Model of 1911 can be modified. The Springfield 1911A1 already has a new barrel with a loaded chamber viewing port cut into the top of the barrel hood. These barrels are a lot better quality then those used by Springfield only five years ago. Springfield also has a new key-operated hammer/trigger locking mechanism built into the mainspring housing. That little goody can be replaced in about five minutes of less with any one of a dozen or so after market units.

If the people can't own it, by God the police shouldn't be able to either.

Keep up the good work. I find I usually learn something when I read your work.

Unfortunately, Davis isn't completely ousted yet. He's still in office and can do more damage until Arnold is sworn into office.

[Libertina]

More of the Clinton - Democrat Machine inspired Poison Pills... I pity Arnold. and pray that the good people who elected him will fight WITH HIM to undo this intentional Gray-Rat damage.

[Monty22]

Actually, I *prefer* gun bans that hit cops too. Let them suffer as well, why do they need to be special? The AWB pisses me off endlessly that "LEO"'s get the stuff us citizen slobs can't.

"What is next?" asks Lott. "Banning guns carried by on-duty officers?"

Precisely, as in the People's Republic of Albion
(formerly Great Britain - the guiding star of the leftist gun-grabbers).
