Handgun for home defense

[0699]

So wouldn't that make you a "resident" then of the state you are stationed in? Meaning he would have to comply with California state law?

I'm not referring to his ability to take a handgun into California, just his ability to buy a handgun in two different states, unlike the majority of Americans who can only buy a handgun in their state of residence. Most Americans, if you are a resident of say North Carolina, you can only buy handguns in NC. But if you are a NC resident, in the military, and stationed in VA, then you could buy a handgun in either NC or VA.

Since I escaped California, I have paid little to no attention to the changes in their law.

No, he is a Nevada Resident with a domicile in California, per the US Supreme Court.

That's just it, the law doesn't say anything about Military exemptions. But people say, "oh Military falls into XYZ category" but no one can provide any black & white evidence. As someone said before, BBR apply. If you're going to do something like this, you better know the laws, caveats and repercussions for your actions.

What's with the hypothetical business?

You're wrong about the shotgun, particularly with modern loads like Federal Tactical buckshot. If I have time I'll post targets shot with that load through an 870 SBS at various distances.

I know, necroposting...but I never posted the pictures I said I would. So, without further adieu... Federal Tactical 00 Buckshot patterns. I was going to drop another 20yd pattern above the 15, but figured the point was made. The gun was a Remington 870.

Shotguns are perfectly accurate for self-defense.

This is what burns my ass. I am a vet for veterans benefits but a civilian concerning firearms laws.
