In high school I had to do a project my senior year on a controversial topic. I chose to do it on CCW and learned alllllll about the crap you guy's in CA have to put up with . lol, we had to bring a visual presentation into the class... I asked the teacher if I could bring in an AK-47.... she had no idea what I was talking about

Yea, I have a collapsible stock as well as a pistol grip on mine, only problem is I'm limited to ten round magazines. So what we do is modify 30 rounders to only accept 10 rounds. I can have these things because I have this wonderful device installed on my AR called a "bullet button".

The bullet button prevents you from using your finger to release the magazine. So it qualifies as a "fixed" magazine under California law. The only way I can release the magazine now is by the use of a tool, ie tip of a bullet. It sucks not having 30 rounds, but at least I can have 10. I'm just glad that we're allowed to have anything at all!

Both are very compact, and given a slim profile holster, would fit very nicely in the door pocket.

I'd be worried about drawing though. Especially if you are right handed. Better make sure you are proficient at drawing and aiming with your left hand out of that gunslit window.

I am accurate with either hand,anyone else have suggestions on a good 9MM that will fit in the Camaro door pocket.

I do. Carry everywhere but work and the only reason I don't carry there is I work on a military base and Uncle Sam wouldn't hesitate to throw me in the chokey for the rest of my natural life if I did.

I swear by the Crossbreed supertuck myself. I can carry dressed in just about anything using it...

There is also a way to legally use the 30 rounders in CA. You can have finger-detachable magazines (CA PC 12276.1(a)(1)), including legally-owned (or legally borrowed) high capacity mags (even 30 rounders!) (CA PC 12020(a)).

The way you do it is to lose the "evil" features (Pistol Grip, Thumbhole Stock, Folding or Telescoping Stock, Grenade Launcher or Flare Launcher, Flash Suppressor, Forward Pistol Grip.) (CA PC 12276.1(a)(1)(A-F)) Most of these are trivial to replace, for example muzzle brake replaces flash hider, collapsible stock can be drilled and pinned, etc. Replacing the pistol grip's the real challenge.

On the AR-15 however there are three products currently in production that can replace the pistol grip. This is one example:







You cannot use the large capacity mags in a bullet button rifle, that'd be a felony (CA 12776.1(a)(2)). The rifle has to have the "evil" features removed, and it must have the standard mag release.

Yea, I know about those. I don't know though, I like my pistol grip. Never shot with one of those grips, but they don't look like they'd be very comfortable.

Sure, lots of guys like the PG, it's the traditional AR look...

But the Hammerhead grip's actually very comfortable. Everyone who's shot one has remarked on how it is just like holding a wooden rifle. One guy said it was "all day comfortable." (I think he was a marketing manager for a feminine hygiene products company.)

Good to have options, lots of guys in CA have pallets of preban high caps they stocked up on before the ban came down, and they love having a comfortable way to shoot them.

Hopefully this assault weapons ban nonsense gets overturned in the courts and we can go back to our core competency: making polyamide composite finch feeders.

Ok, must squash this now: That is NOT a carrying handle, it is a site rail!! Please use proper weapon safety and DO NOT carry the rifle by the site rail!

Didn't the original original M16A1 have a carry handle and not a site rail?
