An AK47 HANDGUN?????
Yeah. Didn't you read my column? And share it with others?
There really is such a thing as an AK-pattern pistol.
They're simply manufactured without a stock and with a barrel well under the BATFeces mandated 16". I personally don't see the point, but some folks obviously do.
i am confused. why hasn't anyone noticed/mentioned the orange tip on the "AK-47 pistol" in the article's picture?
does that not indicate this is just a plastic toy?
I specifically addressed that in my article and gave links to other sites discussing it.
Well David, I did my homework -- on the day of publication. It's the least I can do!
I think issue at hand is good manners. Carrying in a high-profile manner requires good manners.
Perhaps you or a colleague could publish a Carry Etiquette Book or pamphlet.
Worth reading?
I see where it says he was released from custody but was his weapon returned? Did I miss that?
My comment:
I could just be seeing a reflection of some kind, but it would appear that the firearm in question might not actually be a firearm. I'm seeing a bright orange/red muzzle which would indicate that the gun in the photograph is actually a toy.
Of course, I could be wrong.

and, of course I could have entered this discussion a day late and a dollar short.

Concerning the "Carry Etiquette Book or pamphlet", I possess a 3.5" x 5.0" x 0.25" booklet printed by the Cato Institute titled "The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America", which includes the Amendments to the Constitution, with the first ten commonly known as the Bill of Rights. The 2nd Amendment clearly states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Some people do not like that you are free to give your opinion, or practice your religion or not, or object to taxes supporting others' religious institutions, or object to being arbitrarily searched, or choose to own and carry a weapon, and the list goes on. This is the Etiquette Booklet for dealing with them.
Additional copies of the booklet are available from the Cato Institute at 1-800-767-1241.
