Crazy $#|+ I heard at the range today...

[Felix168]

I start this thread with the understanding that the local range, LGS, LEO, and DOJ are not reliable sources of truth and knowledge when it comes to firearms.

I got to the range early this morning and had a chance to shoot the breeze with a couple of the "guys". In 15 minutes I heard the following:

1) The DOJ is going to require "featureless" semi-auto AR rifles to be registered as AWs. (I just happened to be setting up my 300 blk AR15 with an FRS-15 stock on it)

2) These two guys were in a local gun store doing a PPT of an AK Pistol. A DOJ agent just happened to be there at the time and arrested both the seller and the buyer.

3) If you CCW in San Francisco and get pulled over, they will take your carry piece and you won't be able to get it back until you IA contacts them and they ship it back to your IA.

While #1 is possible (a real long shot, but likely their long term wet dream) it's not likely, #2 and #3 I called straight up BS, but you cant really argue with the "guys" at the range.

1) What made you think you're more knowledgeable than anyone else in regard to firearm in CA?

2) Maybe the DOJ agent was actually there to make an arrest. Who were you to dispute that when you're not even there?

3) What exactly is "IA"?

I have no doubts that there are people working on #1 right now. Reading these forums and seeing the workarounds.

Re. 3, you should not, for any reason, ever, be in SF in the first place.

I mean, seriously, you have to burn your shoes afterward. It gets expensive.

I use disposable booties to stave off the cooties when in the City.

Now you know why you should wear earplugs at the range.

4) Take all range gossip with a grain of salt. This one is actually true.

I just go bareback in SF. Go hard or go home.
