Case of 22LR
The other calibers I regularly buy (.38, .357, .45acp & 9mm) have pretty much returned to pre panic (or maybe slightly higher) prices. 22lr is only one that's still consistently overpriced. I don't think it's panic buying or stockpiling at this point. 10¢ might be the new floor.

I just rolled over and asked her. She said "La Beretta, naturalmente. Ora baciami." Then she went off to make breakfast.- Opinions on inexpensive handgun lasers
Briefly: I was wondering if anyone had any experience/recommendations on rail mounted lasers for handguns. I know Crimson Trace/Laser Lyte are well-reagrded, but I was hoping for something cheaper to use as an ocasional training aid, not an actual 24/7 accessory. I've seen some really cheap ($15) ones from NC Star, but I doubt they would last even one range session. So maybe something more like $30-$75.

1911. Then apply for more permits and get- a full size .357 (S&W or Ruger) a S&W 625 JM; & a 22lr semi (MK, 22/45, SR22, 1911-22 or Browning Buckmark). Then more permits for- a Ruger Blackhawk convertible 9mm/.357; a Glock 26; & another 1911; Then more permits, etc...- possible ccw trip to texas

That's exactly the answer. BTW, the whole thing is silly, since OGAM exceptions are pretty easy to obtain.- Cat Saves Kid from Dog Attack
That video looked like the dog had it in for that kid. We had a German Shepherd growing up who was really obedient & never aggressive with people. Our cats used to jump on her, grab her tail, etc. She never so much as snapped or growled at them. But there was this little jerk in the neighborhood who used tease her and throw rocks (pebbles) at her when she was chained in the backyard. He quit after we caught him the act and my folks talked to his (the good old days, when stuff like that worked). Well one day, months later, my mother was bringing her out to the yard when the kid walked by. She broke loose, jumped the fence and brought him down. Thankfully she grabbed his jacket, not a limb and we were able to pull her off. Not saying that's what happened here, but not every dog who bites someone is necessarily dangerous or aggressive.- Second Amendment Drama at the Supreme Court Has Implications for 2016
Interesting. This might explain why Gura is pressing the 9th to declare Peruta moot.- I no longer trust my Beretta 92FS
It's science! He pulls the gun back really fast, then suddenly pushes forward. The heavier slide keeps moving backward, while his hand & the frame change direction. It's probably almost impossible with a 92, even with the hammer cocked. That said, I'll be getting a shoulder workout tonight trying to replicate.- DC Long Gun Registration Upheld
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Memorandum-Opinion-Heller-DC.pdf Here’s my plain English summary of the Court’s legal analysis: -DC Council only needed to prove that it resonably believed that its registration laws MIGHT reasonably be accomplish their stated goals of FIRST protecting cops and also making the public more safe. -And even if that’s not a reasonable belief, so long as the laws MIGHT keep the problem from getting much worse, good enough. -OPINIONS from managament level cops meet that burden and actual statistical evidence is unnecessary. -Nevertheless, DC Council offered such evidence through it’s one semi-scholarly witness -The fact that Heller’s much more accomplished witness offered a lot of evidence that showed DC Council’s cop opinions and expert are wrong/lying, doesn’t win the day. Rather, they should take that up with DC Council*, not the Court. -The Court will defer to the Council, even when proven wrong, because gunz. -The end. *Essentially, the Court is saying here that “Well, it sounds like you’re correct, but we’re not overturning the Council. You should make your argument to them directly and beg them to change their position based on it. Also, f*ck your rights, because they’re no different from car ‘rights’.”- how to use Sweeney's "no CCW" tweet to our advantage
Actually, his idiot argument is that no ccw is the reason why we haven't had any mass shootings. Because, you know, mass murdering psychos will only shoot up a crowd of innocent people if they can legally carry concealed on their way to the murders. What a disingenuous douche bag.- My glock update

Illegal possession of a firearm, however, is a second degree charge and will typically get you 3-5 years is State Prison. That said, people get anything from PTI to 10 years for possession of a handgun.- Does anyone carry even though it's illegal?
Possession of hollow points is a 4th degree indictable crime. The presumptive sentence for a 4th degree conviction is non custodial (probation and/or a fine). Though you could get up to 18 months, depending on aggravating and mitigating factors. Typically, a first time offender will NOT be sentenced to a custodial term for a 4th degree charge. In fact, barring some aggravating circumstance, that person will probably end up in PTI.- Lawmen Supply & Atlantic Tactical answer Fulop's questions.
If their bids are being considered, they must have given the right answers. Lawmen really only sells to LE and neither manufacture firearms, so that covers most of the questions.

It should also be pointed out that besides not being able to survive a court challenge, an outright ban would also affect that small group of "more equal" citizens who do have CCWs.- Lawmen Supply & Atlantic Tactical answer Fulop's questions.
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/05/robert-farago/gun-distributors-cave-on-jersey-citys-anti-gun-police-supply-questionnaire/#more-317383 Back in December, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop acquiesced to the demands of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in American and agreed to force companies supplying firearms to their police department to answer an anti-gun questionnaire before awarding their next contract. [Click here for the six questions in question, which include "Do you agree not to sell certain models of firearms for civilian use?" and "Do you manufacturer and sell assault weapons for civilian use?] Some 109 New Jersey mayors signed a letter supporting the move – although not promising to pursue a similar policy. And now wsj.com reports that Fulop’s implementing MDA’s purity test before signing a $500k contract to supply his city’s 800 cops. Only here’s the thing . . . Middlemen currently handle Jersey City’s firearms and ammo needs. Specifically, Lawmen Supply Company and Atlantic Tactical. While both companies sell “certain models of firearms for civilian use,” the questionnaire doesn’t really apply. Neither company “manufactures” anything, for example. That said, both Lawmen and Atlantic are ready to play ball with Mayor Fullop. “Ultimately, as long the questions aren’t asking confidential information, I’d certainly share with anybody what our sales practices are because they are ethical and certainly legal,” said Sean Conville, president of Atlantic Tactical. Chris Ferrari, president of Lawmen, said he would consider opting out of future bids if Jersey City sought to restrict how the company conducted business. “This is definitely a different type of questioning,” he said. Weasel words, fer sure. The more important consideration: will Jersey City require Lawmen, Atlantic and/or a player or players to be named later to answer the anti-gun questionnaire on behalf of manufacturers, or pass it on to the potential firearms and ammo suppliers? Which was, of course, the point of the whole exercise.And an issue that’s a consumer concern. I don’t think The People of the Gun would look kindly on gun makers and ammo suppliers who let gun control advocates influence the police procurement process. You know; any more than they already do. Watch this space. The effort is setting up a fight with gun makers and supporters of Second Amendment rights. “These politicians are politicizing the purchase of firearms for law enforcement, when law enforcement should be able to buy whatever best suits their needs,” said Andrew Arulanandam, managing director of public affairs for the National Rifle Association. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a leading firearms trade association, is monitoring Jersey City’s efforts and studying legal action. “It’s an issue that could be of industry concern,” said Lawrence Keane, the Connecticut-based gun-rights group’s senior vice president and general counsel.- 30% off Kimber guns
I was this close to buying the the full size Custom Crimson Carry II. PSA lists full price as $1,206, sale price is $844. The cheapest I've seen them elsewhere is $999. So it's more like 15% off the real world price- Does anyone carry even though it's illegal?
I've carried well concealed handguns and longuns (and even loaded them with hollow points, oh noes!!) a lot. Of course, I've only done so going to/from a range. The concealment was in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, AND locked in the trunk of the automobile in which they were being transported. Ammunition was in a separate container and locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it wa s being transported. And the loading was only done once I was at the range. That counts, right? - Where Do You Think North/South Jersey Begins
