I’ve got a .450 marlin lever, nice gun, but no polar bears.
"they round down to the nearest hundredth."454 is .002 over the limit. It has a bullet diameter of .452 as does the 460 sw mag, 45 long colt and 45 acp. So something tells me they round down to the nearest hundredth.
"Carrying on my hip" was not meant to be interpreted as carrying for hunting, not in a CCW scenario.Unfortunately anything in OK over .45 is illegal to carry, so .454 Casull (only .004 over), .460 Ruger, .50 AE, .50 GAP and 500 S &W would be illegal. I would imagine with the .500 though you wouldn't have to pull the trigger, someone would have a heart attack staring down the barrel of it!
As for the .500 no desire to shoot one. I'm not a hunter and currently there isn't a major Raptor or T-Rex problem in Oklahoma, all though that could change.
I would imagine though the .500 would be a great implement for those that hunt or need it to protect themselves from bears, There are those that hunt bear with .357 mag, however I would think that would be a little light.
You say that like cops and the law are meant to be for protecting and serving the citizens. Time and again this country has proven that to be "incorrect".Not to thread drift and correct me if I'm wrong, but since previously mentioned, am I wrong in assuming as per SDA, some .45 calibers are illegal??? I'm thinking until size .46 is reached they are .45 cal. and therefore allowed. And per SDA, anything exceeding .45 is too big but what about constitutional carry, are there maximum caliber restrictions mentioned???
If in fact illegal, it would have to be a slow week around the cop shop for johnny law to pursue this. Same for prosecutor...
