I guess recent proposed gun legislation has freaked people out here in nj; I saw someone buy 3 ar-15's today at a store. I never saw anything like it, people buying 2 and 3 guns at a time. Shotguns, handguns...anything and everything! All I wanted was a ruger 10/22 to shoot with my kids. I guess I'll go to the national chain store to get it since there was zero lines there today.
What's the cause this time??
I m guessing San berdindo.
Typical. Terrorist attack any other country and they bomb the terrorists. They attack here and we want to talk gun control.
You're right. We should bomb California off the map.
Curious. Brother bought his wife a Ruger 9mm. They are looking at some kind of safe for it. Any recommendations? Something with relative ease of access to the weapon in case she needs to get it but secur otherwise , ya know? He's a firefighter in Vegas for the Air Force. Civilian Chief to be exact. Sometimes he has to do a 24 hr shift. They had a "visitor" that she felt hinky about that was the decider for them.
Check out GunVault safes. Finger keypad for easy access and small enough to fit almost anywhere
Thanks. How pricey?
I bought my handgun safe for around $100. I think it's called "bulldog safes" or something like that. Check out cabelas.com.

For those who may think I'm bullshitting. Here's my brothers Department at Nellis. Relates to an incident back in Aug.
Video is of a pilot who was involved in a crash during landing goving a speech to the shift that that saved his life. Basically he ran into the back of another jet that shouldn't have been where it stopped . The jet caught fire and was mangled to the point the pilot could not eject or otherwise egress. 110 seconds for extinguishing the fire and pilot extraction. Brother says in his 32 yr career, he knows of only 3 guys saved from a crash and none but this time was fire involved.
The first thing to determine is how they want the safe to open. There are key locks, combination locks, biometric (hand/fingerprint) and electronic RFID locks off the top of my head.
Most of the electronic ones use a battery (obviously) and have a physical key or combination to use if the electronics fail.
They all offer varying degrees of security and cost but a real life no BS assessment of their household (kids in the home?) is necessary before buying a safe.
They should ask themselves a few questions. Are they both heavy or light sleepers? Do they have a home security alarm system to wake them up? Or a dog?
If they can go from being asleep to suddenly being awake enough to possess fine motor skills in an instant, a physical key or mechanical combination lock would be fine. If not, handprint or RFID keyed locks should be considered.
FWIW, I hope that Ruger never has to come out of whatever safe they choose.
If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV

Isn't California supposed to fall into the ocean anyway? We don't have to bomb shit!

About time guns were banned in the USA, sick of seeing news reports here in Australia of mass shootings there.
Couple things if I may. While I appreciate the underlieing sentiment to a degree the op was cool enough to take a convo between enthusiasts and create this one, rather than continue in a particular thread on amt.
Can I suggest you refrain from the anti-sentiments here and post them on amt where it is more appropriate to the convo there?
Guns have their place in our society, to what degree may be debateable, but this thread isnt political in nature and is intended for hobbyists.
Please show them the same respect they showed in posting about their hobby here.

Damn I wish these were legal in the communist state of New Jersey. Hey how hard is it for everyone to get .22 lr around them?

I can find .22lr but it's still pretty expensive. Bulk packs used to be $15.00, now they are $40-$50.

I have a cabelas and bass pro near me and they are pretty consistent with their inventory. They don't ration them out anymore and you can still find them on the shelf. I don't know if you can order ammo online where you are at but there are plenty of sites that have 22lr available

Man that's cheap. I remember them getting really expensive at one time.
I have a few pistols and shotguns. I live in MA so not all manufacturers are allowed to be sold new. Over the years I have acquired: Sig Sauer P220 .45 Para Ordnance P-10 .45 Glock 23 .40 Glock 27 .40 Ruger Speed Six .357 S&W Bodyguard .380 Sig Sauer P230 .380 S&W Airweight .38 Mossberg 500 12GA shotgun Remington 870 12GA
Great to see a pro gun thread on here after all these years.

Not allowed to be sold new??? What does that mean? Im not familiar with your states laws. Does that mean you can by certain manufactures used??

Yeah, the Attorney General has outlawed certain manufacturers from selling new guns in this state. For instance, Glock can't because it doesn't have an external safety. Also new guns have to have an external indicator that there's a round in the chamber. So Colt, Kimber, Glock and quite a few others can't be sold new. If they were manufactured before 1998 they can be sold because that's when the law went into place.

So can you buy those guns used or can you still buy them new online and have them shipped to your FFL??

You can buy guns used if they were manufactured before 1998. They won't allow me to buy guns from other states and have them shipped if they are not on the MA compliant list. There are plenty of gun manufacturers that are sold in this state but also there are quite a few that are not. It sucks but it is what it is.

I can`t wait until swimming is banned in Australia I am so sick of hearing about you getting eaten by sharks....Either admit that you are nothing but food or ban swimming.

I used to have a Remington 870 but I sold it and bought a Benelli. The Benelli is turning out to be unreliable so now I'm looking for something else. I've been considering a semi-auto but I'm not sure I want to abandon the pump actions. Oh well. Time to hit the gun shops.
Your Sig P220 is a solid contender in the .45 ACP world. I think I'd rather have a P220 than a 1911. Maybe someday.
