PUMA 16" Barrel is it legal?

i feel the same way machine73 does, if the LEO is to dumb to know the law he/she is trying to inforce or making a law up as they see fit to inforce, they shouldnt be aloud to carry the badge. i have been shot at more than a few times and hav limped a helicopter back with an RPG in the fusalage ( thank goodness it didnt explode). as u said rdjustham, there are dirty cops and we may/may not have any interaction with them, but if they r dumb, then there is NO cure stupid. that tape measure cant be adjusted to read what the officer wants it say, if the law reads 16" then there aint no way with out leaving tool marks from cutting the weapon that even the dumbest cop can pass 16" off as 15 3/4". i do aplaud the police of any fashion for what they do and having to deal with all sorts of folks on a daily basis, but a dumb cop is more dangerous than any loaded gun, b/c the cop has a partial brain and a loaded gun and knows just enuf on how to use it to get in trouble or worse, kill some1.
