I’m going to through the Ruger LC9S in 9mm. I have the Pro model and I love. So does my wife. They aren’t made anymore, but you still see them used. Ruger does still Make a version called the EC9S. The sights are cast as a part of the slide and finish is a matte type. They usually run around $250 or so. https://www.budsgunshop.com/mobile/product/52078/ruger+ec9s+9mm+312+black+7%2b1 If 9mm .38 pr .380 is just too much for her, check out .32ACP. There are several pistols available out there in this nice little round. Starting with a Keltec P-32. I had one of these I pocket carried all the time. When my oldest got her HCP, but didn’t have a pistol to carry, I gave it to her and bought a Ruger LCP. I actually miss that P-32. It s a great little pistol. I have a friend that swears by a Beretta Tomcat .32. Nice looking pistol and well built. Usually runs around $450. Lastly, as mentioned before, there are a bunch of Beretta Police Trade-Ins that have brought into the Country lately. They are Model 81s and come with 1 12 round mag, but they have spare mags available for a nominal price. I’ve been wanting one of these for myself, to be honest. When I had that little Keltec, I sorta fell in love with the .32 ACP round. I found it to be accurate and follow up shots were quick and easy. And at 9.6 oz that little Keltec was the perfect pocket carry. Just a tad lighter than the LCP, but with a lot less kick for such a small gun. https://www.budsgunshop.com/mobile/product/15204/kel-tec+cnc+p-32+p-32+7%2b1+32+acp++27" https://www.budsgunshop.com/mobile/product/25071/beretta+3032+tomcat+32+acp+inox+stainless https://www.classicfirearms.com/beretta-mod-81-pistol-surplus-used-good-very-good/

I’m sure a lot of people in VA thought that too, until the Party of the Anti Gunners, took over both houses and the Governor’s office. Now look where they are. Protests seemed to have turned away the worst of the proposed anti gun bills. But I doubt such tactics will work in DC, Should that same situation happen. Be ever vigilant. It probably won’t pass this time, but this time next year, we could all be facing this again, with votes enough in both the House and Senate to send to President Biden for his signature.

Fact check: Democrat's bill would increase taxes on firearms and ammunition Molly Stellino, USA TODAY USA TODAYMay 24, 2020, 4:39 PM EDT The claim: H.R. 5717 would implement a 30% tax on all gun sales and 50% tax on all ammunition sales Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., introduced in January H.R. 5717, a bill that would strengthen measures to prevent gun violence. It has evoked mixed reactions from the public and moved to the forefront of conversation surrounding legislation not related to the coronavirus pandemic. A Facebook user made a post in late April calling the bill, known as the Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2020, “tyranny.” The user said the bill “will add 30% tax on all guns and 50% tax on all ammo.” What H.R. 5717 would change if passed The bill’s intent is “to end the epidemic of gun violence and build safer communities by strengthening federal firearms laws and supporting gun violence research, intervention, and prevention initiatives,” as stated in its introduction. If passed it would, among other measures, require individuals to obtain a license to possess firearms, raise the minimum age for purchasing firearms and require law enforcement be notified when an individual does not pass a background check. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., introduced in February a companion bill, S. 3254. Both proposals aim to ban assault weapons, a class of firearms that was banned between 1994 and 2004 under a federal law that was allowed to expire. Companion bills are meant to “promote simultaneous consideration of a measure,” according to the Senate. Section 803 of Johnson’s H.R. 5717 details the changes that would be made to taxes on firearms and other related items. It would make pistols, revolvers and other firearms taxable at 30%. Shells and cartridges would be taxable at 50%. In the United States Code, a firearm is defined as “any weapon (including a starter gun) which will ... expel a projectile by the action of an explosive,” “the frame or receiver of any such weapon,” “any firearm muffler or firearm silencer,” or “any destructive device.” Destructive devices are bombs, grenades, rockets, missiles, mines or similar instruments. Ammunition consists of multiple subcomponents: bullets, cartridge cases, powders and primers designed to be used in a firearm, according to federal law. Andy Phelan, communications director for Johnson, said it would increase taxes on all ammunition, which is commonly referred to as "shells and cartridges" in policy. 39% of the money collected from these taxes would be put toward research on and programs for gun violence prevention. The legislation does not specify how the funds would be allocated or where the other 61% of the money would go. Firearms and ammunition are currently taxed at about 10% and are collected through various avenues. The taxes are used for different purposes like wildlife preservation and hunter safety and education. The bill was referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security in late March. It has not yet been voted on by the House. Our ruling: True Under H.R. 5717 firearms would be taxable at 30% and ammunition would be taxable at 50%. A portion of these taxes would be used toward gun violence prevention research. We rate this claim as TRUE because it is supported by our research.

Dolomite hasn’t been on since March of 2018, sadly. He was one of the best sources for both AR and AK modifications and builds. He is missed.

The coach guns on the market today, seem to be going up in price. Hard to find one now-a-days for under $500.

Exactly!!! Any Bond gun that Sean Connery is cool! I've also been eyeing those Beretta 81s over at classic Firearms. I just really like this little round, ever since I bought a Keltec P32, several years ago. https://www.classicfirearms.com/beretta-mod-81-pistol-surplus-used-good-very-good/

I'd love to have one of these in .32ACP.

Haven't heard of any confiscators being killed in California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York or any other state that has made certain firearms illegal so far. Makes me think, there is going to be a lot of grumbling and compliance when it comes right down to brass tacks.

We’ll know in another week.

Started adding it to my multi-vitamin regimen, this morning, because of your post. Thank you!!!

If the Democrats are smart, they will watch the backlash that is beginning to come to fruition towards COVID-19. I think any Gun Confiscation Plan put forth by a Democratic Administration will see far worse demonstrations and acts.

Good article on shortages we are starting to see. Some we knew about others, not so much. I do know that laptops are hard to find. Partly, from Chinese factory shutdowns and partly from business purchases for employees to work from home. https://www.yahoo.com/news/broken-supply-chain-means-11-161311095.html

I dropped a number out of Kentucky's Tested catagory. Erik, caught in and I fixed it. It was a tranpsoing error. LOL! As for you observation, I'd agree with that. The reason I posted this was because back in March, Beshears critized Tennessee's COVID-19 response and instructed his fellow Kentuckians to avoid crossing the border into Tennessee and getting sick, then bringing it back to Kentucky. Karma's a bitch sometimes. Unfortunately, it's been visited on the citizens of his state, instead of him.

You make one little mistake and that's what's remembered...

LMAO!!! Best answer yet!!!

Congress should have never been allowed to go home. They should have been forced to stay in Washington and work. Bunch of cowards is what they are. This is not how leadership works! As for the unemployment numbers, I'm not shocked. That's what happens when you shut the economy down for 6 weeks or longer. I figure it will get worse over the next month, then level out.

Corrected and I attributed Politico for the Test Numbers. Erik, I agree with you! Journalists need to report the facts and quit trying to promote an agenda. In my mind, when they start pushing agendas, they become spokespersons rather than Journalists. And if I ma being honest, when Beshear made his statement about hiw Kentuckians should stay out of Tennessee, because we were doing it all wrong, back in March, I thought that was WAY, WAY out of line. When you look at the numbers, Beshear has a ton of egg on his face and his crediblity is shot in my book. Not that I really coiunt or anything.
