'Best' CO2 multishot?

[Jim McArthur]

I agree 100%, Mike, and your last paragraph was quite enlightening!

I think the book you have in mind was entitled "More Guns, Less Crime". (?) I never read it and don't recall the author's name. And yes, there is a very strong statistical correlation between the drop in violent crimes in those American States (currently about 39) that have enacted right to carry laws.

There are 2 or 3 other States that have gone further and simply stated that any law abiding adult resident can carry a concealed handgun without any need for a permit: 6 or so other States that make provisions for a concealed carry permit, but issue it only at police discretion: and 2 or 3 States that simply ban concealed carry, making no provision for a permit.

Right to carry is a relatively new thing in the US - since the 1980's. I remember as a kid that you used to need political clout to be able to get one (and usually had to pay a bribe!). Until then, carrying a gun was something cops did, and criminals, but not ordinary people.

You're right about "using it or losing it." I'm stunned at the relatively few people in the US who have applied for concealed carry permits. even though they could get them.

Anyway...we're getting far afield from Multishot Co2 pistols!

Take care,

It's been a fascinating detour though. Thanks for your reply Jim, that was an eye opener

OK, trip to New Orleans.

Passport, check. Suitcase, check. Money, check. Kevlar vest, check

And I can loan you a gun when you get here.

First offense for concealed carry without a permit is just a misdemeanor.

Subsequent convictions are felonies, though.

You'd be like the American tourists here who walk around with a beer in their hand: you'd be so delighted, you'd be showing it off to everyonre.

Agreed - I thought that there was only one state where you could legaly carry a concealed weapon.

I would would without doubt carry one here if I could.

Vel, you were probably thinking of Vermont. That's the one state that's never prohibited carrying concealed weapons, and never required a permit to do so, either.
