It's been about 10 years since I got my CCW. Back then there was a regulation that said your CCW weapon couldn't be larger than .45 caliber. Seemed like a pointless law... did they think people were going to start carrying .50 AE Desert Eagles? And that would somehow be more deadly than a .44 Magnum?
Anyway, it has never mattered to me before but now that I have a Ruger Alaskan in .480 Ruger, I was thinking about putting it in the car/truck/SUV. There's a gun and cartridge that can fulfill a lot of different missions. But would it be illegal to do so?
1) Is it still the law?
2) Do any cops care? Would you notice or would you arrest/cite somebody over it?
3) Anybody ever hear of anybody at all ever being prosecuted for it or is this a law that is on the books but LEO's ignore it?
Thanks,
Gregg
