Your state's gun control laws allow you to own an M1 Garand? Mine doesn't (New Jersey).

the garand for me is... ehh...

my question, is do you know how to fly a RC plane? if not, your likely to crash it soon after getting it, and then what do ya have to show for it?

I say get the PC parts. it seems like the safest bet atm.

no, i dont, but what i can say is, launch into wind, dont point the nose up or straight down, and glide her in for the landing. and besides, its amazing how powerful these lil engines are when compaired to the weight of the plane, and the plane itself with all the parts will weigh only 15 pounds. so as long as i dont crash it into anything, and there is a huge feild nearby, ill be okay.

Texas Chewy! Texas!!!! at least i dont think there is a law against it, so long as its not a automatic weapon, hell, they sell a Thompson SubMachine gun somewhere on the outskirts of town called 9MM And Weapons, or something like that. so long as im above 18 i can get a rifle, not a pistol though, that i need a background check, but the rifle should be over the counter, and im buying it off the net at

to be truthful, ill be getting all of these at one time or another, just your helping the order.

Ah, didn't know that. Here, we can't own a gun that:

- Has a clip capacity over 10 (that axes 90% of them right there)
- is semi-automatic (I'm not exactly clear on this one.)

I was talking to a police officer the other day, and he said an M1 Garand was illegal in NJ unless you were in a hunting club or similar thing like that, but a Colt 1911 was fine (which was why the "no semiautomatics" law confused me). I don't know the exact specifics of the law, though.

Only 15 pounds? That's pretty damn heavy for an RC plane with an electric motor, because if it really is 15 pounds, that thing won't be going very far....

Your going to spend a whole lot more than 500 Dollars on a Garand even if you get it from the CMP.

A Garand's Cartridge Capacity is only 8. Maybe it could be beacuse of the Garand's range?
