Dunno Much About Armory


Its no secret that mass media types don't have a clue about guns. But AP writer John Christoffersen displays a new kind of ignorance with this gem of an article. In an article about the Newtown shootings, after several mentions of "a safe with shotgun shells" Christoffersen writes:

A loaded 12-gauge shotgun was found in the glove compartment of the Honda Civic Lanza drove to the school with two magazines containing 70 rounds of Winchester 12-gauge shotgun rounds.
I've seen some pretty short shotguns in my time. But the minimum length barrel without NFA registration is 18 inches. If you pay the NFA tax, you can buy one of those Road Warrior style sawed off double barrels, but I doubt that even that would fit in the glove box of a Honda Civic. Christoffersen displays not only an ignorance of guns, but of Hondas.

UPDATE: It looks like several other AP writers have taken over and completely rewritten the article.

Another numbnuts article. At least they are calling them "magazines" instead of "clips"....

70 rounds??? Wait a minute, shells....., anyone???

I mistakenly loaded about 40 shells in a pouch years back on a dove hunt; almost threw my back out..
Noticed that one of my (experienced) hunting buddies had only a vest, and if he ran short of shells (rarely) he'd say"ya'll got a few I can borree..?"
