The explosion of racial violence in Charlotte, N.C. has led to a gun buying spree by locals worried about their safety.

At Hyatt Guns, one of the nation's largest, staff arrived Thursday morning after the second night of riots and encountered a line of buyers.

You would never leave civilization and go on a trip into the jungles or wastelands of this world unarmed.

Ditto when the wasteland comes to you.

Forget the laser stuff.

The beam moves so much you get distracted.

Solid fundamentals of front sight and target alignment.

Get some sweet new hardware!!

Ah yes preparing neighborhoods for frontier justice or vigilante justice.

When the government will, can not, or chooses not to protect the public, the public has a right to protect themselves.

They feel like a mini cannon when you fire it.

Try out a Desert Eagle 50 and the .45 will seem like a popgun.

I picked up a Baretta Storm PX4 compact two years ago in the .40 cal. I love it, fits my hand well, tight grouping etc.

Need something for the Mrs. She has a Makorov .380 but it’s time to modernize her carry piece and I need something for my other hand.:)

Speer 9mm +P expands to .64. That is about the width of a Shotgun slug. Just got 2 boxes yesterday.

Agree. My first Guns all had lasers, now none of the ones I carry do. The lasers are all in the safe.
