    Thoughts on being the “Gun Guy”

    Most people that have known me for a while will figure out that I am a gun owner. Most have no idea what I do or do not own. I really don't care if most people know. Most of my coworkers and supervisors know that I own guns. Everyone that knows me knows that I am a good, decent, trustworthy...

    Armslist no longer free.....

    3 pages and nobody has mentioned this site's Buy, Sell, Trade pages as an alternative to AL? I know it's a more limited audience than AL has but may be more likely to find a real buyer on here than all the low-ballers on AL. And it's free here too.

    The concept of Sunk Costs and Ammo

    To me, a better example of sunk cost would be something like paying $200 for a case of wooden-projectile steel-case 7.62x39mm training ammo, having it get completely submerged in water to the point of the wood bullet rotting and powder and primer being completely water logged, and not wanting to...

    Isn't this exactly the purpose of AR pistols with brace?

    Arizona ammo supplier to Las Vegas massacre gunman gets prison time: reports

    The Vegas shooter was insanely wealthy. He could have gotten ammo anywhere else he wanted to. There is nothing that says the AZ guys ammo was actually used in the shooting, only that it was in a loaded mag in the hotel room. As far as "criminal" act of making ammo as a hobby and then selling it...

    folding utility wagon

    Just realized you were talking about a pull-behind type of wagon, not an SUV or Station Wagon... Not really enough info in OP to make suggestions.

    folding utility wagon

    I hate Dodge/RAM, but they have the outdoorsman package that has a built in area for rifles/fishing poles. I think Chevy has also copied that idea and offers a similar option on the Silverado. Those are the only 2 models I'm aware of that come from factory designed specifically for guns...

    Debate on accessories/tactics for a new gun owner

    He never said he would kill someone for entering his house in the middle of the night, only that they would be a threat. An uninvited, unknown person in your house, at night, should be considered to be a threat by any logical person, unless proven to be otherwise. How one handles that threat is...

    How much does "impulse buying" factor in to your firearms purchases?

    Nope. Used to when I was younger, dumber, and poorer. Now that I'm older, less dumb, and slightly less poor, I don't really buy any and have sold off my impulse buys. I did impulse buy one gun last summer but then sold it shortly after. Been selling instead of buying. Need to sell a couple more...

    Favorite budget firearm manufacturer?

    Hi-Points are fun for plinking with and could do HD duties if needed. Would not feel comfortable carrying mine though unless it was literally the only handgun that I had and I had no way to beg borrow or steal a better one. I like some Taurus products. Rossis are OK too. Used to own several...

    Selling all of your firearms

    I tend to regret purchases more than sales. I've only ever really regretted selling 2 rifles, and now that it's been 10yrs, I don't even regret those 2 sales. I've wished I hadn't bought at least a dozen guns in the first place, which was remedied by selling them for roughly what I had in them...

    Do you guys take all this that seriously?

    I take carrying a gun very seriously. I carry the same gun 99.9% of the time. The only times that I do not carry it are when I am legally required to not carry or the very rare times that I need to carry a smaller gun to not accidentally expose the fact that I am carrying. I do factor worst case...

    What's the oddest thing you've heard someone say in regards to firearms, ammunition, etc.?

    Coworker: The 5.56 bullet tumbles through the air on the way to the target. Me: No it doesn't. If it did, it would be totally inaccurate. It only tumbles on impact, not during flight. Coworker: No, it tumbles in flight, that's what the barrel rifling is for. Me: No, barrel rifling twists the...

    What's the oddest thing you've heard someone say in regards to firearms, ammunition, etc.?

    "I don't think people should have guns" "He'll yes, we're going to take your AR15 your AK47" - Beta Ojoke Or anything that Biden has ever said about guns.

    16 inch shot gun barrels getting hard to find

    Penalties for making and possessing a shotgun barrel less than 18" are insane. Like 10+yrs in club fed and $100k+ in fines if convicted and permanent felony record insane. Most 18" shotguns actually measure 18.5". I'd recommend taking one to a reputable gunsmith if a shorter barrel is desired...

    Am I weird how I shoot?

    I am semi-ambidextrious but primarily right-dominant. I shoot pump-shotguns from left shoulder. I can do it from right shoulder too but it just feels so so so weird. Anything else I can do with either shoulder and generally prefer right. I think on the pump it's because I like using my stronger...

    What would you have LIKED to buy in the last 3 days but couldn't?

    Been wanting a stainless CZ75SP01 but they were hard enough to find last month... this month? Forget it.

    Secretive about guns, ammo, etc.?

    Not really. If someone has a $10K+ gun collection and tries to hide the fact that they have $10K+ in assets sitting in their house all day while they are at work, does not mean that having all those guns is illegitimate, it just means the owner is being prudent and excersicing caution so that he...

    Raise Prices in a Panic Situation

    If I needed 1k rounds of 9mm I'd rather have it priced at $300 and have the option of buying a case versus having it priced at $150 but be out of stock everywhere for months. Also, it's 2020, a presidential election year... if you're not already well-stocked, you're either a new shooter, in a...
