You don't need to be on the right or left to be a sucker. This wasn't banned by the nfl, your just willing victims of a PR campaign and every post about it feeds their original objective. The instant some of you see what's an alleged "conspiracy", you react first and sort out facts later...

I frequently see this 'type' of comment float around in these topics. However, I want to point out the obvious flaw. Presumably, posts like these are advocating carrying despite the legality for the sake of the individual's protection. However, If that individual ever found themselves in a...

frankly, you miss a very real point. Not all those buying guns today agree with a "no changes" or even "less legislation" opinion. In fact, not all members here even agree with these opinions. Just because like minded members post redundant and repetative affirmations in threads like this...

private sales allow the bypass of background checks. So even if someone has been flagged as mentally ill, they can simply purchase illegally through a private sale by keeping their mouths shut or not being honest. Felons can essentially do the same thing. Many of us gun owners have pointed...

Thanks Jorg, at least some folks here appreciate the silliness of these type of threads.

Right, but many folks here will go on to object to background checks on ALL transactions, one of the gaping holes in the ability to control 'crazy' (or illegals) buying weapons. Even though they are not legally allowed they will. So how do you identify and prevent those crazy and illegals...

How would handling the gun prior to purchase show you that in the first 1000-1500 rounds you would have these types of problems?

Didn't the OP simply ask if they should purchase clearly optional insurance coverage? It's a simple financial question, cost versus benefit. Does anyone have experience with the companies, what do they cover, etc. We do know, a shooting can have legal expenses. It's not a paranoid...

Yeah, +1. If you buy the identical item from an individual and have a problem with it you have no recourse. Buying from a shop, I have the manufacturer's warranty and a business that want to make any problems "right". Certainly, those 2 "identical" items do not have the same value.

You've been lucky. If the original owner registered it (online or mail), they would know. If the factory did any work previously, they would know. In addition, they could simply ask for proof of purchase. When you buy "used", you generally have no idea if any of these things happened.

Yes, and that promise goes with the gun, not the owner. Other companies non-written warranty "promises" go to the original owner.

Actually, not a surprise. Ruger is one of the only ones I know that specifically says the warranty will follow the gun, not just the original purchaser. I think that's fantastic.

AGREE, because: A future owner is not the original purchaser. Most manufacturer's write their warranty this way and can choose not to help a 2nd (3rd...whatever) owner. So fired or not, it's still used if you transfer it to someone else.

I aslo have the M&P 9 pro w/4.25 barrel. Many of the pro's seem to be the 5" barrel. I like mine as well. Thousands of rounds, no failures or problems. It's comfortable. The trigger is nice, not perfect, but certainly nice. Trigger is good enough that I can't really justify the APEX...

Perhaps, instead, they shouldn't do the crime because [in this case] loss of firearms is part of "the time"
