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!

I've been trying for 7 hours so far to transfer 3 guns to a couple friends. I don't need to buy anything. I will post my full stats on call to CFC after I am able to complete it.

I've never encouraged anyone to ever buy a Glock, but this time.....
I suspect by noon tomorrow there may not be a handgun left in any store in Canada to buy.

Ran to town...never seen the likes of it. Was pretty crazy.
Flying off the shelves faster than $1.99 brisket at costco.
And you're right, won't be much left by tomorrow

Why the hate for the Glock TC? I must admit, I hated my first G17, but my second one was better. The G19 is a bit better though. Great utilitarian pistol.
As for buying, can’t decide on either a Delta Elite or another LW Commander.
Looks like the old Colts and the Smiths are heading south to keep them safe.

I should have asked for more for that one.
But, glad you got it.
