is selling as "single shot" a loophole?

[Blackhawk556]

I told a friend about buying a xdm using the single shot method and he said, "oh, so it's a loophole". I told him that it was a way To comply with the law but he said again, "yeah but it's a loophole". He's not an anti, he actually is a member here but hardly logs on.

He actually loves this because he also wants a xdm and other non-roster guns.
So what do you say? Will the antis start saying we are using "loopholes" to get around the roster?

[hnoppenberger]

no knowledge on the subject, but had to add:

why feel bad of a loophole to get around a law that is unconstitutional in the first place?

It's not a "loophole"...it's the law...as written by our wonderful legislature

[Blackhawk556]

Wait a minute, I never said I feel bad. I like the idea of sticking it to the state for screwing us for so long. Do I think the roster should exist? HELL NO!! I hope it dies

No loop - We read the law and abided by it - Word for word -

It's not a loophole. It is simply an alternate route to your(our) desired destination.

+1 on that

Lol at the replies. Of course it's a loophole. That's what a loophole is. Who cares. Nothing to be ashamed about. Loopholes are cool.

It's a legally written exemption. It's not a "loophole" if the law is written to allow it. And the way it's being done with guns like the XDM is by following the exemption strictly to the letter.

A couple of definitions of "loophole" found on the web:
- An ambiguity (especially one in the text of a law or contract) that makes it possible to evade a difficulty or obligation.
- A loophole is a weakness or exception that allows a system, such as a law or security, to be circumvented or otherwise avoided.

Dealers using the single shot exemption are in strict compliance with the law.
It is not a shady area that they are in. It is rather black and white. If it were the least bit gray the DOJ would be all over them.
Remember Rob Blank and the confiscated lowers? DOJ thought they had something on him for selling those lowers and they acted (wrongly as it turned out) .
Not happening here.
The "Right people" are ready should there be any "event" but
DOJ has not been able to to do anything because NO LAW HAS BEEN BROKEN!

Technically it is a "loophole" if you use Plan-b's 2nd definition. Nothing wrong with circumventing a bad law though. lawfully of course.

so you you think this can be used against us and paint us in a more negative way

As long as people run around calling it a "loophole" it can, us included. But look at what a "loophole" really is. It's ambiguity or weakness that allows you to evade or circumvent. The law is clearly and explicitly written to allow single shot pistols meeting specific size criteria to be purchased and DROSed outside the confines of The Roster. It's built into the legislation.

"Loophole" implies "illegal" or "illicit", a single shot transfer is neither. It is legal and 100% above the board.
