Thanks for the heads-up. I purchased it.

I like the virtual president a lot more then the man occupying that position at the present time.

I believe that the universally accepted term is "natural right".

I'm retiring to Wyoming. Beautiful country, wide open spaces and it still resembles free America.

The CZ75BD is my favorite model. And yes, the Force 99R is a poly framed 75BD. From my experience the BE is a really nice shooting gun. It's heavy, resulting in low recoil.

I was in the market for a CZ 75 clone. I've shot a BEII, AR-24 & Tanfoglio Force 99 (all 9mm), at the end of the day I purchased the Force 99. They are all good shooters (the AR-24 is the only handgun that has ever stove-piped on me) but the Force was just a better value.

Thanks for the heads up, I bought 10 boxes. I've never used aluminum cased ammo before but it should be fine for range work. I can always sell it if I don't like it. In this market I'd probably make money on it.

I have my last one to get through high school and then I'm outta here. I work from home so it really doesn't matter where I live. So I'll be looking at one of the "free" states where it still resembles America.

There isn't a "most" complaint AR; either it is or it isn't.

Got the same letter two weeks ago. I interpret it as positive...but I don't know what to make of the "SAFE Task Force". Safe for whom?

Kaiser, Your time at Rowan is well spent.

I love my M&P9. Good choice. The problem is this; handguns are like potato chips; you can't just have one.

Both Officers showed great restraint. Yes, the person with the weapons was within his rights to have them, but behaved like a bully. The Officers have just a few seconds to access a situation, but this guy leaves his house hoping for this very situation to arise. He gets off on it.

This could have been any of the good FFL's that we know. After all they are in business to make a profit. People are paying STUPID prices on the internet. I've seen $500 hand guns selling for $750 and higher (sometimes much higher). A seller will make a bigger profit from a panicked buyer online then a reasoned buyer in person. In the last 30 days I've purchased two handguns from an FFL that I have a long relationship. Granted, handguns aren't seeing the gouging that AR/AK rifles are getting, but I haven't paid a penny more for a handgun then I would have before the panic (if I was buying an AR or AK, I'm sure I'd pay some premium). That's the value of a long-term seller/buyer relationship (both have to value it). I fully realize that the FFL has left hundreds of dollars on the table by selling to me. So you can understand a small FFL that doesn't return a call from a guy he's never heard of...in this crazy climate. Still, I'd like to know who it was. It would be good information for those that have to deal with him face-to-face.

I frequent one store here in NJ that is local to me. I have purchased every hand gun I own from this one store. Last week I went into said store to purchase a new weapon. I fully expected to pay the Obama price panic. To my surprise and pleasure I paid what I would have paid on any given day prior to the panic.Moreover, I purchased ammo at pre-panic prices too. My point; establish a relationship with a local shop. Yes, I do look at Gunbroker and other sites to get a feel for market prices, but I buy from someone I know and trust. BTW, I have a PPQ on order. They are hard to find right now. They are making some changes at the factory that has reduced inventory, but the panic doesn't help.

I have the Tanfoglio Force 99R (decocker) which is the same as the Witness P. It is damn-near a CZ 75BD at half the price. I paid $350 for mine. It's a great shooting weapon and a great choice for a first semi-auto 9mm.

Most ranges have rental guns. The two that I frequent are Heritage Guild and RTSP. Both have a wide selection of handguns and knowledgeable staff to help guide you. Even though I own many handguns, I still rent guns that I find interesting too see if I should put 'em on my "buy list".

Go to a range and shoot some different weapons. Experience will be your best adviser.

Simple answer; its called a Bil of Rights, not a bill of needs.

I love mine. Thank goodness that .22LR is cheap, because I have trouble putting my SR-22 down. My only wish would be 15-round magazines.

I've been looking at this one. I like the interior features: http://www.tractorsupply.com/winchester-reg-gun-safe-24-gun-capacity-1043297

I do not own a Glock, but I have shot many. It's a fine tool. The 19 is not something I HAVE to own, but in time I'm sure I will own one.

Stag Arms makes a great product that is priced well.

I wouldn't use a 3x as a red-dot. It has poor close range capability. There are dozens of 1-4.0's on the market and I can think of 4 right off the top of my head that meet the OP's criteria.

I purchased the upper without the forward sight (standard Stag3 upper).
