Freedom Munitions New Plant
Saw this over on PAFOA: Freedom Munitions Loads Up with New Ammunition Manufacturing FacilityThe Firearm Blog Checked out reman 9mm 124gr and it's .284/round before shipping. 9mm 124 gr RN Reman | Freedom Munitions Mrs. 45Doll and I shot over 15,000 remanufactured rounds (various pistol calibers) training over eight years. The number of issues we had could be counted on one hand. They used to have a brass return-for-credit program I used for a while, until the brass market price dropped below $1.60/pound. Doesn't look like they do that any more.

Price of gas
Because the issue today is only the price. In the 70's we intermittently couldn't get ANY gas at all, at any price. That's when things got really ugly. Pulling into your friend's gas station under cover of darkness, etc.

Purchasing my first handgun - Advice
My suggestion is a general one. If you're going to use it for SD I'd rethink the manual safety requirement. I'm not opposed to one (see 1911), but if that's what you get, you really need to train often to make sure that under pressure (like 'I'm being assaulted' pressure) your thumb clicks that safety off without thinking about it. (See 'muscle memory'.) From just a safety point of view (as in 'no accidental discharges'), all modern semi-autos will have at least two or three 'automatic' safeties. That is they're always in play and 'turn off' exactly when necessary. For example Glocks have trigger, firing pin and drop safeties. See here for an explanation of what that means. So if you practice safe handling and trigger discipline from the get-go, that should be all the safety you need. And there would be no extra step required to bring the pistol into action. And of course practice drawing from a holster, both open and concealed. Very important. For an example of muscle memory, when I go to pick up a pistol my right hand fully extends the trigger finger; I never put the finger in the trigger guard. Ever. And having done that from the beginning I don't have to think about it any more. It happens automatically. (After many years of this I would have to consciously decide for some reason to stick my trigger finger in the guard while picking it up). Once the pistol is in hand and I've confirmed it's clear, I proceed accordingly. Dry fire the pistol if that's what I'm up to, or load and shoot the pistol if at the range. Just something to think about.

Hochul in her address: "Does everyone understand what a concealed weapon means? That you have no forewarning, that someone can hide a weapon on them and go into our subways, go into our grocery stores like stores in Buffalo NY where I'm from. Go into a school in Parkland or Uvalde." Yes governor, we understand that. Because it happens every single day in New York State. ALL your laws are totally INEFFECTIVE against CRIMINALS. This SCOTUS ruling simply assures that citizens can be equipped to immediately defend themselves against those criminals if they choose to. BECAUSE YOUR LAWS GUARANTEE NOTHING! NY Gov.

So if NJ enacts the bill preventing you from defending yourself in your own house, you'll get to carry outside and do it? "Excuse me Mister Home Invader. Would you mind stepping out onto my veranda?" The irony is ludicrous.

Price of gas
Sooner or later I think we're going to face the fact that it's not just mass shooters, drug addicts, homeless people etc. that are the carriers of mental illness. There's a lot of disturbed or full blown mental cases walking around surrounded by seemingly normal circumstances. But they are off. And some of them are in government trying to rule the rest of us.
