Gun prices were stable now they are up
(like the stock market I will believe the Market as a forecast of things to come before I believe MSM)
Besides after the last 4 years... Why would anyone believe anything MSM utters out their Lying Pie Holes?
They are. But I’m sure shops in the surrounding municipalities would be happy for the business.

Cripes. That’s more than .45 was before.
This Texan is good.
Feeling pretty good about all that money I spent on my reloading habit...
Try your local shooting range if you don’t mind reloads and aren’t looking for 1000’s of rounds, or .22’s ;-)
It seems like it is mostly the common stuff selling out. All of a sudden, that 6.5 Grendel build isn’t feeling like as much of a mistake as was did before.
There is a surprising amount of linked surplus .30-06 if anyone has a 1919 laying around.
I would imagine that Freepers would be owning firearms at a rate of greater than 95% of them. You might be concerned about something quite unlikely.
Prepping is so 2017....
Yeah, I know you can get range ammo, but that’s about all at the moment. I prefer fresh new ammo.
A mixture of honeycomb wax and paraffin for canning can convert birdshot to a improvised slug round. Go for a texture that yields under pressure when cold, rather than cracking. Details on the web.
Pour a bit of heated wax mix into the shell top to hold all the pellets together as a solid mass. Expect usable accuracy of thirty to forty yards.
You got that right.
I don’t own a gun or ammo. Maybe I’ll swing by Dick’s this weekend.
Whaaaaat?????
I bought 3 Smith & Wesson M&P 380s online today. Your premise isn’t quite right...you buy online but they ship them to registered dealer you choose, so you go into that store to fill out the background check and pay state taxes. Only after that, do you get your firearms.
Never bring a tennis raquet to a gun fight.
Yes. This person was debating with a gun owner why no one needs a gun because he would go for the tennis racket or a golf club. I stayed out of it and thought “well, I don’t play tennis or golf”.
As a meaningless aside, it was golf that got me into shooting. Golf is too hard and frustrating. A least every time I go to the gun range and pick up a gun, it feels and sits the same way in my hand every time. I have sights. You could pick up a golf club with the face backwards and it feels the same.
Mastering marksmanship is as hard as mastering golf, but routine shooting is a LOT easier and more satisfying than slicing your golf shots, digging divots out of the turf, and taking 10 shots to sink that last short put.
Yep,I’ve been looking for a .40 S&W carbine and they’re ridiculous. It’s just a niche gun anyway.
