I was just watching LAPD Life on the Beat. There was an officer that confiscated a 22lr rifle that had the stock cut off. He said it was illegal. Is this a LA or Cali thing?

I will not even get into the LAPD Light infintry training they showed, even though they showed the M16 A1 they got after N Hollyweird.

There was one episode of LAPD on Discovery Channel where one dead dude had a nice 16" shorty AR15 in his home.

Thanks big bear, forgot about the overall. I dont think it was less than 26" though. They never charged the guy with possing the "illegal" gun, they did arrest him for a misdeminer warrant.

Yes Im in the Virgin Islands (the only place with worse laws than Kaliforication)
