^^^ Wow! I already have the qualifications for CCW but I would totally spread the word on this!!

[Ryan T]

That's a great deal Evan. Only word of advice I would offer (and this may just be where I live) is you could get a little scrutiny from the circuit court judge in your county for online concealed carry courses. Yes they are legal, and yes he/she will eventually sign it, but he might make you jump through a few hoops. I know judge Lowe (washington county) and judge Freeman (smyth county) both temporarily denied peoples applications who had online training until the actual trainer from the course contacted the court and spoke with the judge then faxed their credentials to the courthouse. Other counties up north might not care, but that's a problem we've run into down here.

[JustinG]

def gonna do this, will call the courthouse first though.

I feel ya, but when you're the most powerful person in a county you can pretty much do whatever you want...

[JustinG]

just took my test, just barely passed with a 100 now to file my app with the state, just gotta find time to make it to the court clerks office.

[Ryan T]

Picked this up today to conceal when I'm off the job. Ruger LCP .380.

[BLINGMW]

LCP seems pretty ideal for CC. Coworker got one of those and I like its. :thumbup:

I have a couple fairly new contributions on the non-concealed side



Both Russian, an SKS and Mosin-Nagant carbine. Stripper clips ftw. :thumbup: Everyone should have a Nagant, they're like $100. I got this one for $50. :lol: Then you too can run around and be cool like these guys:

[V1GiLaNtE]

shit for $50 for a Nagant sign me up....

So I wanted to buy a pistol the day I turned 21, but I have no money . I just want something to target shoot with a lot (not for CC), and now Wednesday there is a Ruger MK1 going to auction near my house. Any thoughts on this gun? It sounds like they are great target guns and super cheap ammo (22 cal). Does anybody have experience with one of these? Thoughts, opinions, any idea what it should sell for? Thanks.

MK1's aren't sold by Ruger anymore, but the Mk I, II, & III are pretty much the de facto standard among .22lr pistols. Sure there are others. I have a Browning Buckmark, Matt has a Beretta NEOS, but I don't think you'll hate a Mark I, as long as it's in decent shape. It could be OLD though. They stopped making the Mk1 in 1982. So if you're turning 21 it's guaranteed to be older than you are. MkII they stopped in 2005. You can get a brandy new Ruger MkIII for 250-300 bucks, so don't pay more than that.

I, personally, don't like Sturm and Ruger products. I find their rimfire weapons (Like the MkI and the 10/22) to be overly complicated, I've never been overly impressed with their quality, and Bill "No Honest Man Needs More than 10 Rounds" Ruger was a bastard who sold gun owners up the river for personal gain.

If you really want a handgun for your 21st birthday, save up 500 bucks and go buy a Rock Island 1911. The design is 100 years old and still going strong. Space Marines will probably be popping Green-blooded alien bastards with 1911's 100 years from now.

[CaptainHenreh]

Also, A useful link if you want a Ruger rimfire pistol.

[Evan]

nothing about the big Supreme Court ruling?

Id figure someone would at least give a huzzah.

[HAULN-SS]

huzzah!

I was just waiting on someone else to mention it.

[CaptainHenreh]

Meh. Ruling on what is obvious to anyone with two functional brain cells and an ounce of reading comprehension?

All the anti-gun groups are calling "victory" anyway. There's nothing that can't be spun, and SCOTUS didn't dictate what "reasonable restrictions" were permitted, which just means instead of "You can't own a handgun" you get "It is so difficult to get anything other than these 3 revolvers that you effectively can't own a handgun."

Bans based on color, people. Yeah, this is important, but I'm not going to get *really* excited until the Hughes Amendment is declared unconstitutional.

Thanks for the link :thumbup: . Just because the auction is very very close to my house, I do think I'll go check it out tomorrow and pick it up if it goes really cheap. The reason I don't want to save up is because I can't justify spending $400+ on a gun when I still have a year of school left to pay for. This Ruger just has potential to give me something to get some handgun experience with until I graduate and can get something newer and of a larger caliber.

Let's say Hughes Amendment gets rolled back tomorrow. How would you celebrate?

I'd do the following:

Fill out a Form 1, with line 4b filled in: "machine gun".
Write a 200 dollar check to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Mail it to Washington, DC

Then I'd do the most American thing I could think of. Like, have sex with an eagle with a budweiser in one hand and a slice of apple pie in the other. Or something.
