Alright, I'll give this some light. I'm a big guy, most of ya'll dont know that. I can however, very comfortable, CC a OWB a fullsize 9, and very few people be aware I have it. Those have about a 5,6 inch barrel. So for about another 10 inches, I could easily conceal it down a pants leg.
OTOH, I and very much heavier and taller than average, and since we have gotten bigger and taller in the last few centuries, I seriously doubt this is the reason. I dont think 6'2 is as tall as it once was, but its still not average.
Used guns deserve a home too

Thanks for your input but, I do not have a clue what your point is. A few centuries ago .............??This message has been edited. Last edited by: mrmn50,

My guess would have been that someone pulled 16 inches for a rifle and 18 for a shotgun out of a lower orifice, and at best their being some arbitrary figures based on the average length of the barrels of guns used for hunting.
If there is an actual answer, though, I’d be interested in knowing.

This life is a drill. It is only a drill. If it had been a real life, you would have been given instructions about where to go and what to do.

Excerpt from an article, "When legislators decided to regulate firearms, they targeted the favorites of organized crime." Look at some of the movies/shows (documentaries) based on the mob and you see why real quick.
