What did you get as a hedge against restrictive legislation?

I went a different route. I went sort of a "kiss my ________ Senator Feinstein" route and got something that I feel largely "unbannable". I know that there's always risk. I wanted something light and handy and, even though I live in Indiana where gun laws are great (the few that we have) I figured I'd get a nice gun for multi-purpose use that no State in the Union currently bans or places any restriction on (except for the hollow-point thing in New Jersey).

Now for the record, I really love this thing too. It shoots great, it's light, it's handy, it's fun, it's built tough, and it's just plain cool...and simple. Ruger 77/357. Gotta get some more mags for it. I am going to make a bandoleer rather like the one that M1 Garand enbloc clips came in except made of leather. Get either 25 or 50 rounds all loaded up in the 5 round rotary magazines.



This is also my "handgun replacement" gun. Sort of a civilian, all jurisdiction legal, PDW. I drive a lot in Illinois. I can take this with me and stay in a hotel legally in Illinois (and every other state in the union...some municipalities not withstanding). This thing might even be legal in NYC...but I wouldn't take it there without a heck of a lot of legal research.

It isn't "illegal" in NYC per se but only residents may posess even a longun which you need a license for as well as each gun registered. Their longun system is about as stringent, expensive, and time consuming as most states' CCW pistol licensing!

Ammo would be my first pick, though, because I believe that almost every shooter is limited by ammunition. Sit back and consider your firearms, your magazines, your spare parts, your ammunition...if your supplies were frozen right now...which one would be the limiting factor to you continuing to shoot for the next 20 years?

This. A gun is useless without ammo.

I like that a lot. I thought of getting one myself several years ago.

Regarding a hedge against restrictive legislation? I actually sort of knee jerked into a detachable mag bolt gun and an AR. So, I went both directions.

I'd suggest a group buy on less anti gun politicians.
