I have said it before regarding this approach and I will say it again...Let sleeping dogs lie. Right now we have agreeable language in the rulings that accommodate stocked Lugers. In the current trend of anti-gun environment, an attempt to open up the legality of using a stock with any 4-inch Luger other than what has already been approved just asks for an adverse decision that will cause more trouble than it is worth. I do not give a rosy red rodent's rump if a small segment of our community feels that it is necessary to go out of the way to justify attaching a stock to a short barreled Luger...it serves no purpose and just rubs salt in the wound. If you can't shoot a short barreled Luger without a stock you probably have already exceeded your ability to shoot and need to just sit back and read a good book or watch television.

And yes, I am afraid of getting a wrong answer...and you should be too.
