I recently purchased a Colt Python and as this is the first handgun I've owned I have a couple questions about certain legalities. I'm twenty years old and live in Ar. I was told that it is legal for me to own and keep in my house and car. Is this true? Also can I keep it loaded in my car? Should it be concealed or not in my car? Can I keep it on my person in my car?  Can I cross state boarders with it? If so, which ones?
Thank you for any answers i receive. Any extra input on anything you think I should be aware of would be much appreciated.

You would probably get better state-specifc carry answers quicker in your Hometown Forum.



Congrats on the Python, one of the finest revolvers out there IMO.

You should probably ask this in the AR hometown forum.

Definitely check the hometown forum.  And if this is an extra-clean example of a Python, you may want to consider a less valuable gun to expose to sweat, dings, and wear.  Congrats on your purchase!

Thanks I posted it in hometown.
It is pretty clean. I do plan on buying a more abusable gun for that reason.

NO.
You are Twenty, you cannot own that gun.
Send it to me and I will give you Twenty dollars for your trouble and keep you out of the pokey.

You are wise beyond your years.  Now... don't you owe us some Python porn?

Pretty clean is good enough to not use as a beater.  Please post pics.  The Python is a fine, fine revolver.

Good gun.

There is a Python out there stolen out of the gun safe from a buddy's house back in like 1989.  That is a sorely missed gun.

Pythons are the Holy Grail's of revolvers. Congrats.

Shoot it some. That's what they are made for.

Here is a pic of mine (it was my Dad's and he just stuck it in the safe. I've put some rounds thru it though and it's an awesome revolver).

As far as your state laws, you can google something like " Arkansas gun laws" or visit the NRA website for more info. (BTW, Please join the NRA and help protect our right to keep and bear arms.)

Congrads on your Python score. At 20 that is quite a score. I didn't get one until I was 35 and working for a few years.

My first handgun was a brushed SS Python.

My first handgun was a .357 as well, but a S&W 66 w/ 2.5" bbl.  Nice introduction into the world of handgun shooting, shooting 110 grain WWB at that.  KAPOWW, then OOWWWW.   Was also my first CCW piece for about 2 years.

I don't even know about "a lot".

Even friggin IL allows for persons 18-20 to own handguns and purchase from private-party transactions.

NICE! Had the opportunity to own a Diamondback in 22 as well...I decided to go with another gun instead! Since then I have never seen one for sale come up again....that was 10+ years ago.

Congrats to the OP as well...

Take down the iphone pic.  The iphone puts the gps coordinates in the exif data, enabling someone to see on a map where the pic was taken (Park Ave., in case you think the exif data was stripped.)  With the shit pulled with a member's personal info, you have to be careful.

God.... you did good for a first handgun.  My dream gun is a Royal Blue 6 inch Python.

Easiest way is the exif viewer extension with firefox, it even gives you links to google maps, maquest, etc.



I don't know how such data is removed from the file.

Got mine when I was 21. The gun shop had several, I picked a blue 6 inch, that had a Tedford action job and was $100 more than the others. IIRC I paid $498.00 plus tax in May of 1978.

easiest way to guarantee that the info is removed  is to take a screen shot of the photo and crop that photo and re-post it.

Dude,

You got a hell of a first gun.  I will leave the law answers to guys from your state.

This is a very nice gun.  Do not leave it in your car.
