Holland & Holland, a firearms company from England, developed the .375 H&H Magnum in 1912 a cartridge that would eventually come to be called the Queen of the Medium Bores. The .375 H&H Mag was specifically designed for hunting big game in Africa, and it was successful. The cartridge is sufficient to harvest any large game animal on the continent, including the Big Five species. Although it's been around for over 100 years, it still warrants respect, and is often chosen by both professional hunters and sportsmen. The .375 is the base of Holland & Holland's most popular cartridge, the .300 H&H Magnum.

Both featured a 5.5″ barrel.

But if that gun falls to the floorboard and they don't have a concealed carry permit, they could receive a criminal misdemeanor. Delegate Tim Anderson is a Republican from Virginia Beach who says that's wrong, and he introduced a bill that would decriminalize a first offense for violating Virginia's concealed carry law.
