Hello, I’ve recently returned to Arizona after living a few years in some rotten city in the northeast. I’m a longtime firearms enthusiast and joined mainly to access the classified ads. I’m looking forward to getting back to shooting on a regular basis.

I think he should follow my own personal rules the multiple times I've left for long periods and returned to AZ. Buy something absolutely ridiculous. Something in a caliber that you will probably never carry or shoot regularly, just to have it.

Then get something you like that you will carry a bunch. Then get a TON of ammo for it :lol:

Watch yourself. Joining this site simply for the classifieds is frowned upon. The idea of the site is for members to participate in community discussion. If you're a gun nut and like to talk about them you'll be fine.

ETA- to add...... No liberals allowed! Bahahahahaha

Hello again, I seem to have forgotten about this site and neglected to reply.

I has been living in New Jersey, in the New York City area. I had a New Jersey “permit to carry” so I did concealed carry there, and when I got there Chris Christie was still governor and >10 round magazines were allowed. Gun culture wise, things are a bit different in NJ - there’s far less appreciation for freedom but some people do have some very nice guns. There’s a tremendous concentration of very wealthy people in NY/NJ so I managed to see a few fancy things I’ve never seen around here.

I decided to drive from NYC to AZ because I didn’t want to ship my guns and ammo, and I managed to visit Brownells and the original Cabela’s along the way. At the time (June 2020) 9x19 was plentiful, and I picked up a 1200 rounds at a Cabelas in Nebraska because it was on sale - only when I arrived in Arizona did I learn about the ammo shortage.

When I resolved to move to AZ in 2019 I also promised myself that I’d start shooting at least 1000 rounds a month. Of course, that hasn’t happened.

Better late than never!

I've made the same commitment of 1000 rounds a few times in the past, only to have life get in the way. If only it was still just life getting in the way!

I haven't committed to 1000 rounds a month but occasionally did that. Now I'm overreacting and barely shooting. I have to get out!!!

I joined Cowtown soon after I got here and I think I’ve managed to go about 5 times since then. With the way things are going, it’s tough to decide if I should shoot my ammo or keep it as a retirement investment.
