FN FDE Friday redux! Just got a new authentic optic in. Didn’t want you all to really think I was running the knockoff on her. I opted for the 4x with a green Chevron and RMR on top. I like this better than the canted sights I’ve tried. Looking forward to a fun weekend!

The Peoples Republik of Kommiefornyastan does that now. The only exceptions are CCW holders and if the person purchased a firearm within the last 5 years.

My comment about 1k rounds is you know they will have alarms/alerts in place based on quantity purchased. If they did not why take down so much information EVERY time you buy ammo. That is just how the state/fed is. They want to know who is buying 10k rounds of X. Wouldn't want you to start arming your own militia. At some point you bought too much ammo in a certain time period you will get flagged. Mark my words. They are not recording all this information for your health. It is so they have an idea of how much ammo and of what caliber weapons that your own. Cops come to you house. They pull you up on their computer before knocking on the door(or knocking it down) Well we know he bought: shotguns shells, 9mm, 556, 308, etc. so we have a good idea of all the firearms he potentially might own.
Yes I did read it twice. There is nothing in the article about 1000 rounds. Kinda not nice to imply we are stupid because we missed something you are expecting them to do that isn't in the article.

Yes I agree that state is not to be trusted with any information regarding what firearms we buy or what ammo we buy. I would not live there. I lived in Cali back when you could actually buy a real AR15 and 30 round mags. But the writing was on the wall. When I retired I left California with 4 primary requirements for where I would live.

1) 2nd A friendly
2) reasonable housing
3) golf weather year round
4) At least a chance someone I vote for gets elected

Sadly number 2 is gone and number 4 has been watered down by other California transplants that brought their leftist voting habits with them.

When I went to the gun show, the line was too long around the oasis of ammo one company had. People were in line like it was a candy store, and when they got to the front of the line they handed over the RealID, then placed their order. A guy then ran and picked out what they asked for as the cashier rang their order up, after the RealID had been swiped.

Needless to say, I didn't come home with any ammo that day.

More fuckery

"Many of the banks and credit card companies in question are based in New York." OK so just buy all firearms with cash? Just more bullshit for legal gun owners to deal with. It is clear they want to document and track the firearms and ammo you buy. How can this possibly make people safer? I guess if they track this all in a database they can then make up arbitrary limits before accounts get flagged and someone comes knocking on your door to do a 'wellness check'

Just read about 'cold' tracers - being indoor range friendly, etc.
Anyone ever tried them?
I'm guessing cleaning the barrel after is still a good idea

I bought a 43 and it would have been perfect but my sister “borrowed it indefinitely”. I got. 43x and sold it when the 43x mos came out and I like it. I also have a SIG P365. I have carried both in pockets. I do have a Beretta 21A which is tiny but I try not to carry the .22. I usually the SIG for pocket carry.
I ordered a 42 direct from Glock in June to try. It hasn’t shipped yet. They told me up to 6 months.


stupid me, saw Springfield Prodigy mags on sale so I bought a bunch. I haven't even decided if I'm buying the gun yet. lol

It will happen again next year. Bigger and better. The dates haven't been announced yet, but probably around late July or early August.

Only for the 365 family of pistols. Stock, optic, and open divisions. Similar to IDPA, but more relaxed and fun. Appendix carry allowed and IDPA "shoot me" vests discouraged.

I drive by a range/shop 2x per day (to and fro work) and decided to take a class and see whats up. I have been exposed to gun most of my life: some rifles, shotguns and pistols but never owned one.

So here I am...after the class: 3hours: 2 safety and 1 shooting, I love it!

Anyone else into it? My first gun is a Glock 19, 9mm. It's very cliche to buy a Glock but I fired a lot of guns at the class and it just "felt" great...I had to have it.

Any one else into it?
Been shooting since I was 10 years old. Own multiple, shotguns, rifles, pistols, revolvers, AR'S, Garands and M1 Carbine. It's a passion that I thoroughly enjoy as much as cars.

You're spot on! What are our options other than cash?!? I think MC, VISA and AMEX pretty much have the monopoly on credit cards.

My understanding is pay less than 9999.99 after taxes.

I am 99% sure this is how they cracked down on organized crime etc. What law abiding citizen needs more than 10k in cash to buy X. Only Gangstas have that money lying around!!!!

Hence the need to 'wash' money.
