Mom and Pop stores instead of big discounts? I don’t think so. Besides what makes you think Mom wouldn’t tell our open carry friends to get out? Those stores are as gone as real street racers. The next thing is; we don’t go to the store. We shop online and its delivered to us. I suspect that is not that far away.

I don’t know what is true. But most of the stories I have seen say that he was refused on a background check. But they don’t know why, he has been arrested, but nothing that would stop a gun purchase. I have been wrongfully refused on a background check and so have some others on here. That means nothing really. Unless they want to tell us why. Most stories also say that he made no threats in his call to the FBI. But YES! The anti-gunners NEED shooters that were turned down in a background check to have got a gun in a private sale. It justifies what they want to do. Unfortunately, the majority of Americans support requiring a BC on all gun sales. It’s going to happen, and if done by the FEDS it will have to go to the SCOTUS for an answer.

That’s why I say I hate to see these stores have to pick a side. Unless they are a gun store; they aren’t going to pick our side.

That’s a big one. They stood up to Moms Demand Action in 2014 even when that group took out ads and ask for a boycott of Kroger.

I’ll have you know I’m a very very busy man. However….. I have to find time Thursday (hopefully, if it comes in) to go pickup my new gun. I will check it out then; even though its waaaay out of my way. Did I tell you how busy I am?

I’ll have to go check them when I’m out one day. Those big chains sometimes have better prices on the floor than they have on the web.

How is Sportsman's Warehouse pricing compared to Wally? They just had a Grand Opening in Murfreesboro. WWB and cheap 250 round bulk packs of range ammo??

How are their ammo prices compared to Wal-Mart? Do they sell WWB, and the cheap 250 round bulk packs?

My wife hates Wal-Mart and won’t shop there; has nothing to do with guns. I ONLY went there for ammo; so I guess I won’t be going there anymore. Well…..maybe that .308 and .243 ammo.....and, oh yea, cheap shotgun shells.

Yes, that’s why I posted it has the potential to impact sign laws.

Maybe this... I don't know; I don't think they know what they are doing. "The Army's 2020 Fiscal Year budget request says the service is also developing a "special purpose" variant of the 6.8mm round, known as the XM1184, but does not explain how the two cartridges differ."

It's a .243 lite. They are making their way bock to the 7.62 NATO; they never should have left.

Wal-Mart is probably one of the biggest single purchasers of ammo. All that Winchester White Box ammo will be stacking up somewhere. This should cause prices to fall, but only after the gun community is done with its self-imposed melt down and panic attack. Everyone is going out today to Walmart.

I hate to see stores have to choose sides. I wonder if this is because of the shootings or because of on-line ammo sales. Walmart was always a convenient place to buy range ammo, but I guess I’ll just have to plan ahead. This has the potential to impact the sign laws and the open carry guys.

Wrong thread.

They are switching to a 6.8?? That would be ignorant. Of course that’s the government for ya.

What was he convicted of? He told the FBI he was going to start shooting people?

Farmer vs. Higgins The Supreme Court issued neither a formal ruling nor a written opinion in the case when they allowed the decision of the 11th to stand. United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit Atlanta 1990 Circuit Judge HATCHETT: In this case of first impression, we are asked to determine whether the Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended by the Firearms Owners' Protection Act of 1986, prohibits private persons from possessing machine guns. We hold that the Firearms Owners' Protection Act does prohibit the private possession of machine guns not lawfully possessed prior to May 19, 1986. We reverse the district court.

Yeah that’s another one I wouldn’t mind giving a try, but that’s a Bianchi and they don’t list my gun. But thanks.

Thanks, that was one on my list, but I got this on their web site when I tried to get a model number: "Your firearm is not compatible with this holster. View alternate holsters for your firearm"

What made me post that was watching the interviews of the hospital staff. Those are great people that were ready because they took their training seriously. Another was the interview of a Doctor from an Urgent Care facility. He locked down his business to keep his patients safe and then him and a nurse went out and treated the victims. They were there when the shooter retuned and was driving by. They continued to work on a victim. They are hero’s. And I like to think most of us are like that.

Yes, its practical. I’m a former cop, I understand the potential consequences fully. Situational awareness is absolutely necessary. I’m not suggesting anyone jump into a firefight and get killed by the cops; that would be stupid. As someone who is trained and armed; standing by and doing nothing would not be an option for me. Unless of course my actions would cause a problem; that’s where a person’s training comes in. Someone that questions their abilities or training; should try to be a good witness.

I might buy a new holster for a M&P40 2.0 Compact 4”. Desantis Scabbard: Buds $45.01 Galco COP 3 SLOT STRONGSIDE/CROSSDRAW Amazon $71.00 I have the Desantis for my Shield. I thought I might want to try the Galco, but don’t really see why it costs more than the Desantis?? Anyone know if it’s made better? It doesn’t look like Gould & Goodrich or Safariland has anything yet for the 2.0 Compact 4”. Anyone have any other recommendations for a Leather, Thumb Break, 3-slot for me to look at?

I bought an AR pistol to put in my trunk. I’ve now decided I need something with longer range capabilities. The two AR’s I have 15/10 are too expensive to do that with. I see new full-size AR’s at $500 or under though; that might work. I have thought about this ever since the 2010 West Memphis police shootings. If I drove into something like that, I would like to be able to do something other than run or take cover and do nothing. My AR10 would be the perfect trunk gun. But with nearly $2K in it and the scope; I would need to find something cheaper. I always said if my car was burglarized I would rather they take my handgun than my laptop; my handgun is cheaper and easier to replace. That’s not true of a quality large caliber rifle. We live in different times.
