Typically if we're buying two or more guns at the same time, at least one is for my wife. Since she has her own pistol permit, she buys the one she wants and I buy the one I want. Still requires the FFL checks though and I assume twice the paperwork. Years back, I bought five in one day at...

Were I the responding officer if you were here in my state, I'd run a check on your permit. If it was good and you were carrying a decent gun, we'd be good. :p Just kidding... Seriously, at least here, I can check on a permit and if it comes back good, I'm happy. But that's just me. And I...

I may have had a ND once back in the 80's, but the gun was also malfunctioning so I'll never know for sure. But I treat it as an NG and make extra effort to never come close to the same situation. Either way, it was bad weapons handling on my point and I have a different way of doing things...

My drool list is long and changes all of the time. Money seems to be the deciding factor. :p There are a few older military rifles I want. There are a few handguns I want and probably a few shotguns. This last Sunday, I got to shoot a suppressed pistol and two full auto rifles. Now, I want...

Don't know about AZ. Some states have their CCW permits linked with registered vehicle owners and driver license returns when a cop runs it. Some don't and it can require an additional database search. Then there are some states that don't allow cops to run any search of permits at all in...

Some are just "I'd like to have"; some are "I really want". M1 Garand Springfield 1903 Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine or M44 or maybe even a M59 (Not overly fussy about which one although one of each would be nice ;) ) SKS AK-47 type Another Mauser 98 Kimber 1911 .45cal ACP...

I used to say AR-15 for the rifle. I've changed my mind and would now say a M1A instead. Shotgun has to be the Mossberg 590 because that's what I have and I'm not likely to buy something else in the near future. Handgun would be my G35 at this point.

CT has a looong statute pertaining to the sale of handguns (CGS 29-33). While the sale doesn't have to be done through a FFL holder, the state police have to do their thing on the background check. And the purchaser must have a handgun permit or an eligibility certificate.

I was beginning to think the military wasn't using them anymore and had switched to some sort of new-age packaging. I was told by a friend that just got back from a foreign clime that they are still in use. All I know is I went to the usual store I shop at and all they had were the 50-cal...

My wife just noticed her permit expired. So she went a couple of days ago to renew it. Had she been playing attention and renewed it before, she'd have saved 35 bucks. :( But she swears she never got the renewal notice. I had a couple of folks tell me the same thing. Glitch in the...

Just heard that CT raised the fee for pistol permits to $70, up from $35. I guess when they attempted to find ways to pay for the budget, they figured "gunnies' could pay more. :( I gather it went into effect Oct 1st.

I have to laugh about this thread. Not about the muzzle awareness issue, but a few of the comments on how to handle something like that. Officer's wife- If your comments were meant to be sarcastic, I'd have to say you sound like my wife. If a LEO pointed his muzzle at her, she'd probably...

It's gone. Had two takers and I suspect one of them will work out. However this fall, I'll probably have another collection.
