ArtS Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Posted May 13, 2009 Hey Aaron, This is not a CC issue in Georgia if you have a permit (which I do). I don't know about Oregon. The pistol has to be drawn first. The trigger is covered in the holster on both sides and so is the ejector port. Art Can you explain this? Is it a local concealed carry issue? I have never heard the term used here (I live in Oregon). I have a derringer I have been planning on making a similar holster for thay can be fired with the gun still inside.Aaron Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted May 13, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted May 13, 2009 Aaron, I appologize in advance for this, but here goes. It's a federal issue, not a local one. Since I'm not a lawyer, I don't think I can get into the legal definitions about it and make any sense. However, back when I was shopping for a Keltec, I wanted one of those holsters too. My range instructor (NRA cert.) and a LEO warned me against them. IIRC, it has something to do with the 'holster' attaching to the pistol. At that moment, it's no longer a 'holster' but an attachment. Similary, if I was to make a wire frame stock that attached to the grip screws of my 1911, the moment I attach it to the pistol, the whole contraption becomes a "short barreled rifle" (which I believe is a Class III weapon...but don't quote me).

ArtS Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Posted May 13, 2009 Oh, sorry. I was referencing the holster I made was ok in Georgia. I see what you mean about the other one and the stock. Just too many laws!!!! Art Aaron,I appologize in advance for this, but here goes. It's a federal issue, not a local one.

Quote keep it in the 10 range or at least hit the steel.
