The money situation is looking good, but we could use some help from the Denver area guys spotting deals in the $200 to $300 range that we can personally inspect before the purchase; .455_Hunter and I are slammed with work for the next few weeks and can't get around to all the shops. So, I...

Now we're getting somewhere!! I feel satisfactorily informed on all subjects after those last bits. Thanks to all!!

Thank you all very much for these clarifications! Your advice is greatly appreciated and I will heed it. I still haven't found a limitation on transportation time; it wasn't in the definition section (§ 921), but I'll accept the popular opinion. :banghead: So, what about pepper spray in...

Well, it sounds like the little family tourism stop may mess everything up since I can't park for very long while transporting firearms. Where would I even begin to find out the official definitions for transporting through these areas? I had previously assumed that even a hotel stop could be...

I should clarify, I got free tickets from Denver to National. That's why I'm not flying into Philly or Baltimore (or Dulles) instead. Sister also wants to visit DC before I return, so it works out.

Thanks for that affirmation Duke! Can anyone offer a second witness to or refute this?

I think .455_Hunter and only1asterisk are handling the $$ transfer. For $400 total, I'm guessing Fernando can get a $250 S&W Model 10, a $75 handgun safe, and what, about 250 rounds of ammo? Or should we look at a .357 mag now with a simple lock-box and less spent on ammo?

I'm traveling to DE in a couple of weeks to visit my sister and her husband. DE recognizes my CO CCW permit, but we're flying in and out of Washington National Airport (yes, it's in VA) and driving through DC and MD. I have not been able to sort out the old information from the new regarding...

With my $20, that makes $145. I think I can rustle up another $40 of support here locally, so that would be $185. Is the general consensus that we'll need $250 total (including Fernando's own money) to get a quality gun without unreasonably time-consuming "deal-finding"? If so, we're getting...

Yep, it's a surprise. We're supposed to go gun shopping sometime in September, so Hunter and I can tell him then and give him the money toward his purchase.

I once had a Beretta 9000S with a warning against +P in the owner's manual.

Just wanted to add that I know the man in need (Fernando), and figure he's looking for a handgun because it's cheaper and easier to get a handgun lockbox than a long gun safe to keep the HD gun away from his young children. I think it's awesome that you guys are so passionate that you'll...

Only1Asterisk: I work with .455Hunter; I'll pitch in $20 but give him cash at the office.

There's a Crossroads of the West gun show in Denver tomorrow. Anyone who's been to one of those shows think it's worth checking out to search for one of these deals?
