There's something happening here...

Wrong, guns are bought and sold to private parties daily. I've sold over 3 guns hear locally (that were registered by me) to private parties as well as shipped some through ffl's. Or, they can be tragically lost due to a boating accident.

Oh, officer, I sold it or I lost it when my dingy sank, they are still going to tear your house apart, and the more that you registered in the past and unable to produce, will give them more probable cause.

Dumb, buying a gun from a dealer (FFL required).

Smart, buying a gun from a private party (no FFL required) and they take the heat.

When I was at school last Tuesday we got into a discussion about guns, a possible ban on handguns, automatic rifles, etc. I was for the no ban where there were actually a couple of kids who were for a ban or partial ban on firearms altogether. It was pretty funny messing with the kids and disproving anything they could come up with.

One of the students asked me if I owned a gun and my response was, "nope, I own several." This frustrated him more than I had seen in a while. He then started in with the guns kill people my response, "guns don't kill people, people kill people. If I put my pistol, which is in my car, on this table loaded and nobody touches it, will it fire? Nope, it requires someone to pull the trigger."

I have actaully been thinking about getting a small pistol for the first time in my life recently. I am not too worried about my house but more about when I am out in my cars. I have put alarms in them to try and protect them while I am gone but since I have put the wheels and stereo in the stang I have noticed that it is starting to get noticed. By the time I am done with her with the side exhaust and paint I have planned I know it will draw more attention then I may always want. I also started putting a good stereo in my truck that will consist of some nice componants and a large limited edition phoenix gold amp. I don't advertise my stereos much but with the time I have invested in them I want to be sure they are safe as well as me.

I have shot almost any kind of rifle from black powder rifles to M-60's(at college funny enough) but have never dealt with pistols. What would you recommend? Where should I go? Permits and shtuff???

I went to Sportsmans Warehouse in Mesa and the same. No ammo.(At least for what i needed) Racks and racks but only a occasional small box. When I left ,the cashier asked if I found everything. I said" It would be nice to have some ammo in the store". He said they can't keep it on the shelves.! Said most people who would buy a box ,are now buying CASES of ammo. Said I could call when they get their order in an get a 24hr hold. IF they get what I need.

being new to the hand gun area I would really rather put my hands on a couple of guns and even better yet shoot a few to see what I think would be the best. Is there a place that will let you shoot a couple of different styles?

[ASUSMC]

Yes but its not cheap.

the new prez is going to destroy OUR second amendment. J&G's emails have said that there is a huge demand for AK high capacity mags and such. everyone wants in on that before they get banned again like under clinton. if anything, my main reason i got my handgun is so i can go camping alone up north if i wanted to. not the crash of the economy!

Somebody told me the same thing happened when Clinton was elected but I think this guy is really going to push the issues. Interesting that there were morer kiilings in Chicago (Obama's) District than in Bagdad this year...
