Personally, I’d wait until you get down there. The firearms laws are much looser. I would bet that you’ll find far better deals in TN than in PA. ---

The XD would probably be “OK” if you’re on a budget…personally, and from considerable experience, I have alot more faith in Glock and Sig. ---

But they also told me that there was no agreement between PA and AZ and guess what they were wrong. This was proved by AZ DPS. And according to [http://handgunlaw.us/](http://handgunlaw.us/) _thanks Jackdup_ there are agreements between both states and PA. ---

And according to [http://handgunlaw.us/](http://handgunlaw.us/) _thanks Jackdup_ there are agreements between both states and PA. It is my understanding that you can keep all your PA paperwork, and buy a gun down there, but I guess you won’t really know until you try to buy one. I am pretty sure you can buy a used handgun there, like we buy used shotguns here, no paperwork at all. Reciprocity seems to be getting better all the time. In Alaska, all you need is a valid driver’s license to carry a concealed weapon. In VT, you need nothing at all, anyone who can legally possess the weapon can carry it concealed…now that’s my kind of state. ---

You’re welcome. AGSD is not known for its up to date and thorough knowledge of these laws. Also, I hear TN is a downright friendly state to those supporting the 2nd Amendment. ---

I was looking about a few months ago where someone did testing on a 22 rimfire and found it to be lethal at 75 yards and able to completely penetrate and exit the otherside of a carcass with 5 layers of clothes on it at that distance. That said I have a Taurus 1911…over 1000 rounds thru it with 1 stove pipe in the first 50 rounds cause I didnt load the clip right. 0 problems every since. Its big and I really cant CC it…would like a [http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/p3at.htm](http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/p3at.htm) or the .32 for concealed carry if i find the money. Dan ---

I wouldnt recommend it for the following reasons. If its not clean it will jam. (either on the ramp or it will stovepipe) At 10 yards mine drops 1 ft. Non adjustable sights. Ask 1320 about his he had one I think. ---
