   PSA expands SBR sales to 17 states

   AmmoLand says PSA expanded short-barreled rifle sales to 17 states following an NFA court victory.

   For a CA shopNo action until you know the state list. The pool does not print it. California still treats short-barreled rifles as an NFA item plus state law. Do not take an SBR order for a California resident off this headline.

   NSSF seeks to block New Mexico’s seven-day wait

   NSSF is seeking an injunction to block New Mexico’s seven-day waiting-period law while that law is challenged.

   For a CA shopNo change to the California wait. This is a New Mexico injunction request, not an order, and not your DROS clock.

   CRPA on why CCWs matter

   CRPA posted “Have CCW’s Ever Been More Important?”

   For a CA shopNo counter action. The title is commentary. It does not name a new issuing policy, fee, or county.

   Taurus 8-inch .350 Legend Raging Hunter

   TTAG says Taurus introduced a handier 8-inch .350 Legend Raging Hunter revolver.

   For a CA shopIf you would transfer it, check the current roster and your distributor before you order. The pool does not say it is rostered, or print a SKU or price.

Watch

• The PSA state list, when someone publishes it. Until then, do not treat California as one of the 17.

• New Mexico’s injunction

  whether a court grants it. Irrelevant to a California 4473.

• Savage questions will keep coming. Thursday’s pulse has the $160 million headline.
