Hand or long?

Long guns, same day, while you wait.

I think it was 10 or so days for a sidearm.

[Salamander]

Add “why” to that and it makes more sense.

:\

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yeah, handgun.
Spoiled once I got to NM, picked up 3 revolvers in 1 hour at 2 shops including driving time.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Isn’t that kind of stupid?

I mean, aren’t most of the MASS murderers using longarms?

Or, are they more concerned about common thugs, who carry “handguns” almost always?

Which is it they worry about? I thought worried about MMs because they sure defend the thugs in common crime inside cities.

[Salamander]

Apparently a pistol is more dangerous than 25 in the mag, one in the chamber.

All,

My approval came in this morning. It’s off to the gun store.
