View Full Version : Are you going to buy a gun today?
I've always wanted a 1911 and, even though I really don't need it right now, I just can't think of a better day to go buy one. It just seems so much more appealing than watching the inauguration or listening to people chant "Yes we can!" all day.
Who's in? Are you planning to buy a gun today?

I fell madly in love with a Nighthawk 1911 that I fired last night. I'd buy it today if I wasn't in the 30 day holding pattern with my CZ 40B purchase.
Holly Jumpin' Jeebus, that's a nice pistol. I must have one.

I've also always wanted a 1911, and I wanted to buy one before today. I doubt that BHO & the bottomless tie-dyers in the Capitol will be able to ban them outright, especially with Heller, but if they try, it will be an uphill battle for both sides...

If so I'd do it just to spite gun banners like "The One" and introduce new people to guns. That and donate to the Calguns Foundation or NRA.

I plan on buying a Kimber today... wish OakTree or Uncle Pauls were open today... but probably end up at Turners or something.
I not only am buying the kimber because ive wanted it but because i want the date/history of buying this firearm. This could be the begining of a lot of "Change"...
I also plan on dropping $100 to each the CalGuns Foundation and NRA (not a lot to some, but its what i can do for now).
AND im going to go shoot today to blow off some frustration...

You left out my option - I bought my new gun during the buying panic.

Yes we can! Yes we can buy a gun, if Obama puts food on my table and gas in my tank (which would save quite a bit of money each month) :p

I think I'll buy some ammo. I'm much shorter on that than anything right now. That should count for something, right?

Thinking about going to the range in addition to ordering some more ammo. Hopefully the two won't completely cancel each other out. :D

No gun buying today for me...But I am trucking out to the desert today to go have a shooting good time! Bringing a butt load of ammo and my:
cz52,svt-40,m38,10/22,1903,and remington 12ga auto model 10(looks like a auto5) :D yes I can...for now

I am torn between the last two poll choices. I did a majority of my buying before the panic, depending on whom you ask I do or do not have enough guns(I ahave been told I only have two hands), I am waiting for prices to drop, also with the economy in the state it is in, I need to save a few extra bucks. On a side note, I am still in my 30 day prison sentence, and have not found any PPT's I am interested in so for now the bank account is somewhat safe.

Question is, do they care?
Question is, do they care?
Of course they care if they lose control of any branch of government. Look how hard they fought against bush's court nominations based on a desire to lose their stranglehold on the judiciary. Look at how much of a big deal they made about holding both branches of the legislature after last years elections. This is the source of power for a political party, it is of utmost importance to the party, more so than any one seat (other than POTUS.)

Well, my plan to buy a revolver today fell through. Was to PPT it, but the two schedules conflicted. Guess the 4473 will say 1/21/09 instead.

Thanks. Yeah, I can find these around here new, but I just couldn't say no at the price the seller was asking. Not to mention I get the side benefit of having another firearm shipped in to CA from out-of-state. I love doing my part. ;)

I went out and bout the last S&W M&P45 that Turners Covina had. Been wanting one, and it drops off the list on 1-31-09, so I decided today would be a very appropriate day to buy it, in case Smith doesn't pay the extortion to have it relisted. Up yours Obamessiah!

Haven't we had enough public sexual abuse of a female politician from the left?
I'm sure it was meant in good fun, but by the second day of her nomination it quit being funny to me, sorry.

As luck would have it I ended up buying on inauguration day. I didn't plan on it. I didn't even plan on visiting a shop. It all just happened. And when I saw the nickle Firestar in the consignment case that was it! My wallet saw that Spanish pistol in 40 S&W and screamed bloody murder. Yes I killed a few Benjamins today! :)
(But only a few and it's more like to went traveling to someone else's bank account than actually dying.)

I need to POUR $$$ back into the Credit Cards pronto or there will be hell to pay. If I can't shoot it for a month after I get it, fine. At least I will OWN them, like my Wife owns ME!

I bought a Saiga 7.62 today. I got a pre-"Obama Frenzy" price, but it's got a skeleton stock (read "thumbhole") so I'm having it shipped to Henderson Defense to swap out the evil stock, then it will be shipped to my CA FFL. I'm doing my part to...to....well,..uh,......increase demand so that prices keep skyrocketing, and supplies dwindle to nothing. Sorry. :o

The only gun I have bought recently is a C&R 1895 Nagant revolver. I think I might buy a California Legal SKS in the next week or so, but won't go completely crazy if the price is to high.
