I love the sound of distant gunfire on a sunny weekend afternoon, if I am not contributing to it. Life in the country is all good, and generally very low crime, despite just about everyone being armed with firearms in some form.

I am rural, deep in the woods. Many FFLs I deal with are small garage type businesses. And I wish they were located closer.

You would like the sound effects of the area where I live. Hill country, 12 miles from the nearest town. Gunfire echoes from every hill whenever the weather is decent.

Some of the neighbors have money to burn. They sometimes fire light and heavy calibre rounds for hours. Somebody nearby has a very heavy calibre piece.

My BIL and I could defend ourselves, as well. Unfortunately, our potential firing-range hill backs onto a road, so we are not comfortable using it much.

Yes, please.

Works for me. :-)

[Cobra64]

Yup. Get the mag safety removed from my Browning Hi Power... and a little action work tuning down to 3 pounds.

[Cobra64]

Six pack.

[bgill]

Sure, just point me to one.

to high-volume dealers selling dozens or scores of guns a month

High-volume includes dozens a month? Please.. Scores a month, yes. But someone who just likes to buy/sell and go through stuff can maybe sell a dozen a month. Not high-volume at all!

[Smokin' Joe]

It would sure be convenient...

Bingo!!!

[ChildOfThe60s]

At least CA has its priorities in order..........a very strange order

[napscoordinator]

I wouldn’t care if it was in a residential home but I would not want to live near a store that sold them. Typically they are on busy roads and or in the city. No thank you to that.

There are a lot of people who run small businesses out of their homes: jewelers, tropical fish dealers, gun dealers etc. As long as the traffic isn’t large enough to disrupt the communuty, we should support them. Gun dealers of any kind who have legal businesses are supporting a Constitutional right and these people are following local laws like anyone else. NJ.com is a liberal political organ making an issue of a non-issue in order to promote an anti-Second Amendment agenda, like it’s parent organ, the. Ledger newspaper.
