100%! (updated with Foxy Brown trailer PLUS added dissing of Village Voice Idiot)

SUNDAY UPDATE: welcome, Village Voice readers. Say, are you all as willfully stupid as that Roy guy or what?

***

I was the only person to get a perfect score in my Restricted handgun course today.

So: now what? I’d much prefer a semi-auto to a revolver.

Remember American readers — we aren’t allowed to have these:

but your suggestions are still welcome as long as they fall within the regulations:

Prohibited firearms, devices, and weapons are:

* full-automatic firearms
* sawed-off rifles or shotguns with barrel length less than 457mm (18 inches); this does not apply to firearms manufactured with short barrels
* sawed-off rifles or shotguns with overall length less than 660mm (26 inches); this does not apply to firearms manufactured with short stocks or short barrels
* handguns with a barrel less than 105mm (4.14 inches), except certain specifically listed competition handguns which are restricted
* handguns in caliber .25 or .32, except certain specifically listed competition handguns which are restricted
* silencers

* large capacity magazines for a semi-automatic center-fire firearm. What constitutes “large capacity” varies; as a general rule, the maximum capacity is 5 rounds for long guns, 10 rounds for handguns “commonly found in Canada”, and 5 rounds for handguns “not commonly found in Canada.” Magazines for rimfire cartridges, the 8-round clips used in the M1 Garand, and 10 round Lee Enfield rifle magazines are exempted by name from this prohibition.
* any of a long list of firearms specifically listed as prohibited. With few exceptions, if it has a remotely military appearance, it is prohibited.
* replicas of firearms
* any type of Taser or other firearm that discharges a dart or other object carrying an electrical current.
* tear gas, Mace or other gas, or any liquid spray, power or other substance that is capable of injuring, immobilizing or otherwise incapacitating any person
* any type of stun gun or other electrical charge device of length less than 480mm
* a large additional class of prohibited weapons, such as nunchakus, switchblades, brass knuckles, etc. which are not discussed here.

I have very small hands with short fingers, and the instructors told me I’d have to take that into consideration.

I’m looking at this Bul M5 (in the smaller “Commander” model) because, well, it’s Israeli made…
