Thread: Legal length.

'Restricted Weapons' and 'Prohibited Firearms' are already subject to greater security precautions and vetting than 'Pistols'. The thrust of the Arms Act is to ensure only vetted people with appropriate security have these 3 types of firearms. Applying the overall length rules to Restricted and Prohibited is achieving nothing. Any neer-do-well with unticketed Restricted or Prohibited firearms will be subject to far greater penalties than just possession of a Pistol.

Unfortunately, these ne'er do wells also couldn't care about the repurcussions and when they do get caught they get let off with a hug and an apology for having to hit them with a wet bus ticket......
