My protest buy
I am so angry at the sock puppet that I went out at lunch today and bought another handgun.
It was very busy at my LGS. While waiting in line, I polled everyone close enough to ask why they were there. About a dozen were there for the same reason as me. To buy a handgun (and some people bought more then one). Every one of them! Take that moron politicians. I don't often let politicians get to me. As most of you know, I steer clear of political commenting. But this idiotic decision is just meant to garner votes by junior in order to get elected. That really made my blood boil. And then to watch that clown-show photo-op with all of those cronies and their applauding and smugness, just sealed the deal. Now I just need to either sneak it into the house, or explain to my wife why I bought yet another hand gun. Although to her credit (and she's not a firearms licensee), she totally agrees that this was just a political stunt by that junior high school drama teacher that will have absolutely no affect on gun crime. Rant over! |
Good on you.

I suspect by noon tomorrow there may not be a handgun left in any store in Canada to buy. |

Been planning to get a handgun next year. Guess I need one now. Any store in Calgary to get a compact SIG not even sure on what model:confused:

Flying off the shelves faster than $1.99 brisket at costco. And you're right, won't be much left by tomorrow |

Would be nice if the dealers could get stocked up before the law comes into effect.

I bet they are glad that they can at least still sell handguns, for now. |
Buy em all boys. Don’t matter what they are just buy em. Societies can change quickly.

I stopped in PR today, my LGS, and it was crazy, I must have seen 15+ handguns purchased just in the 30 mins I was there. One guy bought 6! I know one guy that works there and he said they sold nearly 300 handguns today. Awesome numbers. I couldn't believe the frenzy there. I knw PR typically has 1000 or so in stock. Not sure how many they have left. I picked up a nice uberti (Taylors) open top 1851 38 special I've been wanting.

I thought that it was effective immediately that you couldn’t buy a handgun, how long do we have to do so?

CSC was a crazy busy place yesterday, TSE posted a pic of a near empty display. Cabelas seemed busy, but nowhere near the level of CSC. Basspro, almost nobody there in the AM anyway. I had to go p/u my RWS bullets @ CSC, never seen it like that before, I got lucky and didn't have to wait in that lineup, they had another till going, 3 computers going for people to take out memberships and I think they were using two to do transfers and sales. Probably 25-30 people in lineup. See they posted where they put up a sign at the door---6hr wait at the tills.

Yeah ..... used walther ppq match for me today. Waiting on buddy to start the transfer.

"Government officials later said they don't anticipate a major surge in handgun purchases in anticipation of the freeze becoming law" :sHa_sarcasticlol::sHa_sarcasticlol: |

That will work 6MT. CZ makes a nice gun.
I's almost starting to regret selling all ten of the Walther Creeds I bought. Oh well. It's not like I'm gonna run short of handguns. Ammo....well, that may be another story. |
I joined the club just now with a .357 wheel gun.
I have no idea why I would want one. I guess I will find out… |
I'm in for 3 just because.
Wolverine is not processing orders right now.... Overwhelmed. |

Not sure was a protest we much as the push I needed to get it done. I said screw the budget immediately following the announcement; ordered a MKIV Lite, a cattleman in 357 to go with my levers and that notorious POS Glock.*
**But in my defense my 9mm Carbine takes Glock mags so I wanted a pistol to match. My Shadow is still my go to. |
