Recently, I picked up a copy of a magazine I had not seen before called "Living Ready". In the Spring 2013 issue I bought is an article entitled "The Versatile Shotgun". The article starts on page 21. On page 22 is a photo of a typical pump shotgun with notes attached to the various parts of the shotgun. The photo below is of the note concerning the barrel.
I wrote an email to Patty Dunning, the "Content Editor".
"Ms. Dunning,
I'm not sure if you're the right person to write about this. Since you're listed as "Content Director", I'll take my chances with you.
In the Spring 2013 issue is an article entitled "THE VERSATILE SHOTGUN". On page 22 is a photograph of a typical pump shotgun with notes attached to various parts of the shotgun. The note concerning the barrel reads, in part ".....For civilian use it should have an eighteen inch or shorter barrel....."
I would suggest you folks be a bit more knowledgeable in firearm laws before you start making reccomendations. A shotgun barrel of less than eighteen inches is a federal felony without a special permit. The general populace is not aware of this.
If an individual were to purchase a shotgun and then cut down or have cut down the barrel to less than eighteen inches and get caught with it, said individual would be facing a prison sentence of up to 20 years in a federal prison.
I bought a copy of the magazine in hopes it would fit my reading criteria. Sadly, it does not. With the kind of bad advice I saw in the first issue I bought, I won't be buying another copy."
This, my friends, is a college level textbook example of why there is so much misinformation about guns these days.
I can see it now: "But that magazine said....."
