I was thinking broken glass and super glue, but I like where you're going with this.

Now having seen ZippyT's answer ... I want that pistol grip Mossberg.

With a cooperative CLEO and a pile of dollars you can get a Class 3.

But Stargate SG-1 fans will be interested to know there's a new version of this available:

It's got a legal-length barrel (not pictured here), is semiauto only and has non-armor-piercing ammo; all requirements to make it available to civikians without a Class 3.

You can get the standard capacity magazines though. Nice if you might run into Goa'ulds in your neighborhood.

Isn't that a Belgian F2000? That's an assault rifle. I assume that the civilian versions have small clips?

Why? If they give you any shit, just shoot 'em.

Because the FFL won't give it to you until *after* you have your Class 3.

My own Maglite is at least ... umm ... two and a half to three cars old ... shit. 19 years.

I've got a 5-cell Maglite too...in the car and for preflight. It's not that much heavier than the batteries.

Rich, if you want personal protection, you want more than a flashlight. Want to learn to shoot? You live in PA. Pink Pistols meet every third Saturday.

I bet your Circuit City special doesn't put out 60 lumens, either.

That appears to be the P90. The newer carbine version is the PS90. It can be had with 30; or, 10 round magazines. How much reach does it have with a bayonet? How do you functionally mount a tactical flashlight on it? Though these questions may be of no concern to someone who works with a Gerber 625 or Circuit City flashlight, it always comes down to selecting the right tool for the right job.





PS: I'm still using my original (8 years old) Surefire 9P. It was discontinued for awhile; but, they started making it again with slight cosmetic changes.

Not too damn much., considering it's a 16" barrel, and in a bullpup configuration too. No bayonet lugs, AFAIK.

Ghod, don't you watch SG-1? :-) Comes in a triple rail version.

I hear the stock sight suck rocks (especially in snow) though.

Better pic:

And yet, duct tape seems to solve these problems very well.

Actually, instead of a Gerber, I have a K-Mart penknife with an unconditional lifetime guarantee which I am saving, along with the original sales receipt, so that sometime in the distant future one of my great-great-grandchildren can take the dull rusty broken knife to the nearest store (via transporter) and demand a refund or replacement.

...where they will no doubt be told that the lifetime in question was yours.

Based on what I've seen of K-mart lately, you're pretty likely to outlive it. Wal-mart is kicking their ass on the downscale side and Target on the upscale side...and both have clear intention to take the other on on their own ground. K-mart will be the first casuality.
