Re: Thoughts on all the new gun owners

I don't think we really have to worry about the new handgun owners. I was in Sportsman's a while back. Two women were at the counter buying a handgun. The clerk, after they decided on the handgun asked them how much ammo they wanted to buy...they chose a 20 round box....I'm thinking they will never ...

Re: Thoughts on AR pistols

I have a CZ Scorpion. I love it. Put a brace on it. 9mm. Red Dot...very accurate and I think better than a handgun for protection....30 round magazines. I prefer it over all my hand guns.

Re: Ham radio and what I've learned so far.

Great info and thanks for sharing. I'm going to grab those apps and look at throwing my current radio in the trash.

Re: 9th Circuit ruled that THERE IS NO RIGHT TO CARRY

That and the Dems talking about banning firearms...yet again...always the same line...'common sense' gun laws. It will be very interesting to see what happens in this case as I'm sure they will appeal and it will go to SCOTUS.

Re: Police: Active shooter at grocery store in Boulder, Colorado

2A bans and legislation are coming. I wonder what the current gun owners will do if bans are enacted and/or new taxes put on existing guns.

Re: The Whole Ammo and Components Shortage Thing

I was just talking with my son about the shortage and how any stores that have ammo in stock are jacking the prices up significantly. I saw on CheaperThanDirt .556 green tip going for $1.74/round. Glad I picked up my supply when the price was relatively reasonable.

Re: Nfa trust and silencershop

I just created my trust. I used guntrustguru.com. It was an easy form fill and just went to the bank today to get it notarized. Now I need to find the right suppressor and take the next step.

Re: This could get addictive!

I've got a pair of matched Ruger Vaqueros...357...with custom triggers...very light pull...I love shooting them. I'm looking for a holster to hang both. I remember Gunsmoke, Branded and other tv shows from when I was a kid. Takes me back.

Re: Ammo Shortage Expected to Last into 2021

I've seen where ammo is available but they are using this shortage to gouge buyers. .45 ammo for $1.45 a round, really? Glad I've been buying and stocking up for the past 5 years.

Re: Have braces become good enough to outweigh the hassle of transporting NFA SBR out of state?

I have a CZ Evo Scorpion with a brace and I love it. I use it with a red dot scope and it's becoming my favorite firearm. I'm in the process of getting a suppressor for it. Would love to hear if anyone else has gotten one and what they think. I've researched a few manufacturers.
