What does magnetic ammo do?
Birdmane:
It causes fires.

Yup. He's shot a ton of it there though before and the same guys that were there that day are always there. They said it depends on the season. Bumout considering we drove pretty far to get there.

Just read this on another forum... interesting if it is true.
--- Quote from: bu-bye ---Its my understanding that the DOJ does not consider anything 80% or below to be a firearm or frame for that matter. By their rules its just a hunk of metal. Would not make a difference if I dug my own ore to make my own block of metal and cut from there.
I just spoke with my dealer and he said 80% are OK as long as I don't sell them or manufacture them. All of the laws I read on the DOJ site speak of manufacturing firearms.
Here is what the Cali DOJ says about it:
" 12085. (a) Commencing July 1, 1999, no person, firm, or corporation licensed to manufacture firearms pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code MAY MANUFACTURE FIREARMS within this state unless licensed pursuant to Section 12086.
(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to a person licensed to manufacture firearms pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code who manufactures fewer than 100 firearms in a calendar year within this state."
AND
Here is what Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code says:
" (10) The term ``manufacturer'' means any person engaged in the
business of manufacturing firearms or ammunition for purposes of sale or
distribution; and the term ``licensed manufacturer'' means any such
person licensed under the provisions of this chapter."
Because I am not doing it for "sale or distribution" I'm not classified as a manufacturer and can make firearms for myself.....right? LOL. Looks right to me

--- Quote ---Also, another helpful suggestion. Find out what ammunition your local LEOs use, and/or their side-arm. That way should you have to dispatch an intruder and you get taken to court for it, one of the arguments prosecution will use against you is excessive force because of your handgun and/or its load. However if you carry/use the same gun/ammo that the Sheriff/Police do, you can make sure to bring that up and it shuts down a major argument that prosecutors love to use.

Someone had posted this in response to a thread I made about guns on another forum (Gun friendly place, why I posted there). Anyhow, don't know if it has been brought up here, but it seems to be very wise to obtain the weapon that your local police officers use, as described above.
