Can you sell at 3x the price on calguns? If so buy a bunch and profit!

If not but are grandfathered and you can still shoot them use that as a recruiting tool to get people to join.

Yep, all purchases are grandfathered in. I could sell if I wanted to, but I likely wouldn't. I don't buy firearms to flip and make money. I could get into trouble for doing that anyway. After so many sales of off-roster weapons the DOJ starts sending warning letters.

Haha! That GIF is funny.

Red flag laws have good intentions but will arguably, almost certainly, be abused. People's lives will be ruined over this.

100%. Someone red flags me, I get everything taken away until I eventually get my day in court. And that is not a quick process. Nor is it guaranteed that I get them back. Its crazy because it could be someone who just hates me and decided to make my life miserable. No consequences to them, and they probably are even anonymous.

Yep! It almost makes you want to keep your life very private.

Mixed feelings about red flag laws. Properly defined and executed could help stop nut jobs. But that would mean you get your hearing within days and there has to be some evidence that you are a threat not an anonymous tip.

Sadly I do not trust the government to implement any red flag laws in such a way that protects the innocent from harassment.

I just dont see them working out like they think they will.

Lets use the Uvalde shooter as an example. Kid obviously was troubled and showed a history of violence/mental issues. however, through his parents, grandparents and teachers, was given passes for it with excuses of "he was bullied" or "his home life wasnt great" etc, etc. If theres one thing we have shown as a society, its a willingness to ignore all the red flags of kids/young adults until its too late. I cant remember the last time we had a school or public place mass shooters where everyone was like "i could have never seen this coming. they were always the model citizen"

Here’s my SCAR 17 as promised. I’ve simply added a post and a Romeo 5 for now while I decide on optics. I also have a suppressor which fits perfectly, but the length is almost comical.

The low weight of this thing is simply amazing for a full sized .308 rifle. I have AR pistols which weigh more. Wow.

I'd swap out that A2 pistol grip as well, can't stand them. Other than that it's perfect

Thanks will look into it!

I typically throw the Magpul K grip on my rifles. They are more vertical than your standard AR pistol grip and feel better to hold in my opinion. Easier to get a higher hold on the grip.

I use the post as a hand stop and not a grip. C grip with the post as a stop. Thanks though!

I am a Vietnam veteran and I find no humor in that GIF.

Love it bro!

Meh. Just noticed I didn’t have a .380 but have plenty of .380 ammo (I gave my only .380 away to my sister-in-law as a wedding present years ago).

So I should probably do the smart thing and sell the ammo and move on. (They divorced so she’s not getting any ammo from me).

Nope. I’m stupid. I just emailed Glock with my order for a Glock 42. Let’s see how long direct sales take.

Local LE dealer said he’s backordered on the 42.

I can see the abuse in the same way #metoo got abused.

So not an AR or variant, but I bought this some time ago and yesterday was the first day back to the range in a very long time. We moved here in October 2020, and it took us until February 2022 to join a new range, the waiting lists are ridiculous. Henry Carbine in .357. Butter smooth action, I love the way it shoots. The .22 was my wife's ammo, she was shooting on the next bench.

First time at the range in about 2 years so not bad from 25 yards. Lisa does love her S&W

Just remember - you always think you have enough guns until the zombies show up.

Have you considered the S&W Bodyguard .380?

Yeah, imagine what a scorned lover could do to you simply out of spite.

That is beautiful. I love te cherry wood. Hey Murf, I heard handguns sold out in Canada after your PM's anti-gun rhetoric. Is that true?

Ooooo Mrs.Murf the Surf?!? She means business.

I need one in every room and at every lookout point/balcony, plus one on my hip, one slung over my shoulder and one in a pocket for back-up. A few hidden in the vents as well as a few hidden under floorboards. That should do it.

Handguns keep selling out, every time an order comes into a gun store they are gone in a day or so. I'm hoping to pick a couple up a Colt 1911 and a Browning Hi Power.....I'm old school. I have my Glock for business of course and Lisa's S&W is a no nonsense go to.
