it's what we did when my BIL was losing it, and i'd have been fine with the sheriff keeping them safe, instead of having to store them at my dad's house.

Just asking for a honest discussion hack89 Apr 2013 #21

Wouldn't capacity limits have an affect on SA handguns? jmg257 Apr 2013 #23

Technically yes. Realistically no hack89 Apr 2013 #25
