@Sean_in_Boston@bennyjohnson Regardless. They aren't banned. If you can acquire one, then you can have it. If it were banned, there would be consequences for having it. But there aren't.
@Sean_in_Boston@bennyjohnson They're all over the place in MA. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Go do a little digging and you'll find plenty of current Gen 6 frames for sale. They'll also conveniently have the slide to go with it.
@Sean_in_Boston@bennyjohnson I don't think that's an accurate statement. Glocks can (and are) legally owned by many civilians in Massachusetts.
Gun dealers cannot legally sell them, but civilians can legally purchase them. If a dealer sells someone a Glock, that's on the seller (dealer), not the buyer.
@Globe_NH Neither is New Hampshire. I have no idea where she gets off thinking she can commandeer the NH State Government to inflict inspections upon The People but she's got another thing coming.
@USAttyEssayli Approaching someone with a CONCEALED firearm (meaning not visible until the skirmish) doesn't scream "threat", to me. The only reason they became aware of the firearm was because of the altercation.
It is completely possible to simultaneously believe the following two things:
(1) Intentionally seeking out confrontations with cops while you're legally carrying a firearm is a bad idea that increases the chances of bad things happening, including cops believing [reasonably or negligently] that you're a threat.
(2) The 2A community can and should insist that officials be precise with their statements, to avoid recklessly insinuating that the lawful exercise of 2A rights is inherently threatening or that totally normal actions [like carrying extra mags] are inherently suspicious.
Be. Better.
@jjreeves@kriley8888@jchip That's accurate, the thread was started five days ago and the picture of the gun was posted in that thread today. That can certainly be misleading though.
