    I'm not a huge fan of Yeager either way, but I imagine that his school has some good training and I do believe he is a patriot.  I would also be willing to go out on a limb and say that the media most likely hasn't been too fair with him.

    You are missing my point - the market will set the prices - it always has and always will.  Sadly this is one side of a story, there is the other and then the truth.  :)

    What is the "right" price for a transfer?  Think about this.

    Brink and Mortar, with lights, heat, rent insurance licensing fees etc. - that = $$$

    Then there is time for paperwork, organizing paperwork, sorting it, keeping records and also sitting through ATF audits that = time which = $$$

     

    Now, if you are a one off walk in transfer guy - sure why not charge what you can - and if you get it great - if not, as an owner maybe he is more concerned taking care of his repeat customers that do more than just transfers....

     

    So look at time - and given the delays with NICS lately, you need to come in for two visits - 

     

    Let's say it takes him 1 hour in total to process this transaction end to end - that has to cover his time, electric and all the other incidentals as needed to keep a brick and mortar open - *IN* a state that is not gun friendly.

     

    My time is billed at $ 275.00 per hour.......  what is your rate for your time - not including anything else....??

     

    While it is higher than most - there are many things in running a business to support doing a transfer and it is not just abt the NICS check.

    I do not like to pay high prices or exorbitant prices - but, if that is what the market bears in the area, expect to have to pay it.

    The point being, there are many other mitigating factors that drive prices and possibly the sarcasm you received.

     

    I sat with a client the other day saying that my contractual agreement with them and their organization for my work pre-COVID at $ 14,500 was high now, as their membership is down 25% for the synagogue - oh that's a shame, you contracted for the work, the work is 90% done - you do not get to go back - maybe you should have negotiated better at the start....  :)

     

    The sad thing is that the customer (and the billable-rate purveyor of boomsticks) are FORCED  to this absurdity by the encroaching govdernment and its agendas.

    What a traitorous Shitbag...  Swamp Snake not any better than the Wicked Witch of the West or that cowardly Schmuckster from NY or the criminal, tyrant in the dark, hopeless Black House.  

    Mr. President, tell us what you really feel...

    My first choice would be an AR15... Not too much recoil, coyote dispatcher, and tool of the free world.  I would look for one with a 20" barrel.

    Keep it simple.  You need a toolbox with more than one tool... LOL  I might buy the ammo first to see if you can get it and then get the firearm.  Ruger 10/22, AR15, and a Pump Shotgun in 12 or 20 gauge based on ammo aquisitions.    Some very good arguments could be made for a pistol caliber carbine as well.

    Other thoughts would be a 30-30 lever action gun such a Winchester Model 94 or a Marlin 336 if ammo can be found.  With training it will cycle pretty quickly.  

    As for handguns... Glock 19 or S&W M&P and a Ruger Mark or Browning Buckmark maybe coupled with a 357/38 revolver.  If 40 caliber is available I might get a Glock 23 and a 9mm conversion barrel.  A S&W Victory might be neat instead of the Ruger or Browning for a solid 22LR handgun.

    Gunbroker might be useful in finding some tools...  You can get lower recoil shells for shotguns and you can TRAIN to get over your fear or flinch if there isn't some physical barrier.

    The Skeletool is larger than the Juice, and it is probably the largest I would pocket carry and not throw in a pack, glove compartment, carry on a belt, etc. I like the Rebar because it has a saw and an awl used when camping, hunting, etc.  It is a backup to a larger saw and a larger knife.  I like to carry the Skeletool when wandering about, but when in the woods, I prefer the Rebar or Supertool 300.

    What are your favorite Multitools and why?  Specifically I would want a multi-tool that has a knife, saw, pliers, awl, and bottle and can opener and some screw drivers (or a driver).  Additional things that would be great are one-handed opening and locking capabilities (at least for the blades).    I have included my choices (I am a Leatherman fan), but would like additional thoughts on Gerbers, etc.

    For...                                                          My choices:

    EDC pocket carry:                                   Leatherman Skeletool

    EDC carry in holster or bag:                  Leatherman Supertool 300 or Rebar

    EDC in the woods:                                  Leatherman Supertool or Rebar

    SHTF:                                                        Leatherman Supertool, Surge, or Rebar

    TSA Travel:                                               Style PS

     

    I like the Swiss Army One-Handed Trekker and the Ranger as well, but I really want a tool that locks.

    My favorite tool is the Rebar but I think I might like a Signal if I had one.

    All of Karl's videos are awesome.   Check out this video as well...  

     

    Other sites besides Karl's Tactical Rifleman that I recommend are Vigilance Elite with Shawn Ryan (some crazy shit) and John Lowell and his Warrior Poet Society.   Do you guys have any other sites you recommend?
