<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by unspellable:
there is no record of a legally possesed class III firearm in civilian hands having ever been used in a crime anywhere in the US since the 1930's. <hr /></blockquote>There was a single case (the last time I researched this) of a legally owned subgun being used in a crime in Ohio... but unspellable was right in that it was not used by a civilian...it was used by a off-duty policeman who legally had possession of the registered subgun. Memory fails me on the dates and the exact details but IIRC, the dude found his girlfriend or wife with someone else... and he "ventilated" one or both of them. Not much press given to that incident as I recall...

This type of information is best found at Tom Bower's Politically Incorrect message boards at Subguns.com That is where the LEGAL Class III firearms crowd hangs out.

and Ron, unless they have changed the law, the NFA transfer tax is only $200.00 at my last check some months ago.

The study of old class three guns is my second interest... but they are WAY out of my price range... I don't own any, and can't afford to feed one if I did own one <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />
