When is VP9 Coming to California? A Tale of Woe and Waiting
So, you're a California resident, and you've got your heart set on a Heckler & Koch VP9. I feel your pain. It's like wanting a unicorn that can also brew you coffee. But fear not, dear reader, I'm here to shed some light on this perplexing situation.
The VP9: California's Elusive Unicorn
The VP9 is a fantastic pistol. It's like the Brad Pitt of handguns – sleek, reliable, and everyone wants a piece of it. But California, with its gun laws that are about as clear as mud, has made getting your hands on one a real challenge. It's like trying to find a vegan in a steakhouse.
Why the California Conundrum? Well, California has this little thing called the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale. It's basically a list of guns that are allowed to be sold in the state. And, unfortunately for VP9 enthusiasts, the VP9 hasn't quite made the cut. It's like being the coolest kid in school but not getting invited to the prom.
The Waiting Game
So, when will the VP9 come to California? The short answer is: we don't know. It's like waiting for the next season of your favorite show – full of anticipation and endless speculation. Heckler & Koch has expressed interest in getting the VP9 on the roster, but it's a long and expensive process. It's like trying to get a reservation at a Michelin-star restaurant on Valentine's Day.
What Can We Do?
While we wait for the VP9 to grace our fair state, we can:
- Dream: Visualize yourself owning a VP9. Maybe even practice your best James Bond pose in the mirror.
- Lobby: Contact your representatives and let them know you want the VP9 to be on the roster. Your voice matters!
- Explore Alternatives: There are other great handguns out there. It's like finding a new favorite band when your old one breaks up.
