[QUOTE="R. Johnson, post: 2717145, member: 10606"] According to Title 21 § 1290.6 you are not allowed to carry a concealed or unconcealed weapon that fires ammunition larger than ".45 caliber." But what does that mean? According to the Horniday Handbook of Cartridge Reloading the .45 ACP is actually .451", and the .45 LC is .452", so is carrying a weapon in those calibers in violation of the law? Or are they legal because the official name of these cartridges .45? Then what about .454 Casull? It is .452" same as .45 LC, is it legal? Or by virtue of its name is it against the law to carry? Now I know the intent isn't to outlaw .45 ACP based on 1/1000th of an inch. However, a friend who will soon be getting his carry permit asked me what the carry restrictions were, and when I told him no larger than .45 he asked if that meant .454 Casull was out the window. I can't imagine why he'd want to carry a .454, but whatever. [/QUOTE]
