The Robert Kennedy assassination. I am open to hear all counter arguments

Didn't work on Reagan though

Or Secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy, or DC police officer Thomas Delahanty. All of them survived along with Reagan during the attempt. All were shot with 22LR and Brady took one to the brain.

Probably a better discussion for OT

Your supporting evidence for your claim about .22LR's terminal ballistics is "A man once died"?

Good troll thread, I guess.

[Title1guy]

If you carry a .22, it means that you are either an Israeli Mossad agent or a Mafia hit man; both of which are banned in California by Gavin.

Did this thread escaped from OT forum or did it ricochet out?

Typically not allowed by "Those That Issue Permits", but does not hurt to ask.

Allowed here in Tulare County. I've got a 5-shot NAA .22 LR mouse on my CCW.

Best post in the thread!

Can a 22lr be used (legally) for concealed carry?

Perfectly legal as long as your IA allows it. I've had a .22lr on my CA LTC for years. It's a great SD gun cartridge for SD against certain imminent threats of great bodily injury or death.

How deep does everyone go before it becomes clear this was a rabbit hole?

Started out with someone saying they don't know much about rimfires, to can they just have a threaded barrel not installed to carrying a 22 for CCW to some Sheriff telling someone to piss off to ricochets, the FBI stats, anecdotes about RFK and public info. To keep it going early on came the post with the thanks for speaking the language.

What language was that exactly?

Hook, line and sinker.

In another "screw California" move by Ruger the MKIV isn't on the list - they blame it on the microstamp thing. Their bean counters also quit paying to keep the MKII & III on the list screwing us from buying a used one from out of state.

This is the answer I was looking for. Thank you for speaking the language.

What is the reasoning? Because 22lr is the most lethal caliber because of the ricochet effect?

This is your brain on 4chan

Two of the most moronic posts this month. Reminiscent of DB.

My knowledge of rimfire handguns is minimal. I believe most Ruger Mk IVs come with threaded barrels. I see they sell upper assemblies for barrel swaps. Is it possible for someone to legally bring a Ruger Mk IV into CA if they put a non-threaded barrel on it? Is it legal to own the threaded upper assembly without having it mounted on the firearm?

So, if you took a threaded Ruger MK3 or MK4, and removed the upper receiver from the Lower, the pistol would be incapable of firing. Would that nullify the California Assault Weapon status of the pistol in the same way it would for an M4? Keep in mind that an argument could be made that the owner installed or intends to install a fixed 10-round magazine (permanently) in the lower portion of the pistol. Assume we are applying this hypothetical scenario to a non resident that is moving to California. I wonder if the pistol could even be registered, or if, for example an MK3 22/45 lite would be flagged as a threaded firearm?

On the Ruger Mark series of pistols, the "upper" receiver is the firearm and the frame is a non-controlled part.

On the Ruger Mark series pistols...
... the (stripped or barreled) receiver must be transferred through a FFL dealer, because that is the part that is considered the firearm under Federal laws/regulations.
... the frame is not required to be transferred through a FFL dealer.

Since the complete "upper" receiver of a Ruger Mark series pistol is the "semi-auto pistol", it would not be legal for it to have a threaded barrel, unless the firearm utilized a fixed 10 round magazine that can not be removed without disassembling the firearm's action (removing the receiver from the frame) or that was permanently attached in the pistol's grip/mag well.

Unlike its lookalike ancestor the Luger, the "upper assembly" of a Ruger Mk IV (or Standard or Mk II etc) is the receiver which makes it "the gun". It doesn't need to be mounted on the lower to be a gun. This leads me to believe the upper assembly alone and unattached to anything would be considered an AW by virtue of the threaded barrel.

Someone else may have answered this way - I passed by the "22 is/is not lethal" stuff.

Edit: Oops - I agree what he (^^^) says.

[CSACANNONEER]

While the upper is the firearm on a Ruger MK series, if it is separated from the lower, it is incapable of being a "semi auto" so, CA AW laws should not apply. However, there are 58 different DAs in CA who all have different opinions/agendas so, I wouldn't want to be the test case.
