Opinions on handgun purchase

Featured Replies

So I just realized that I have a permit that is going to expire on Monday. Money is tight b/c the holidays since I go crazy buying for my daughter. However I would like to buy something ( I know spending not to let a $2 go to waste is crazy stupid but well.......) This is what I'm working with... 300 to 400. Prefer a 9mm if possible. Just looking for suggestions and would be willing to buy from some selling off here.

You have a moral obligation to not let a permit go to waste. Check the market place here or hit a gun shop or two to find something you like, $300-$400 could go a long way if you choose wisely.

 

Remember, gun proliferation to the right people is beneficial to society, or as the liberals like to phrase things - "do it for the children"

I'm trying here, been browsing all night. The 90 days expires on Monday and I don't wanna take the chance of turning it in for extension and getting denied. Then there will be no gun for this guy. I actually have 2 permits so I'm dropping one off tomorrow or Monday morning and buying something tomorrow privately or Monday at Arms and Ammo. I'll buy an I/O hellcat before I let it go to waste.

Shop the used racks at shops. Or file for an extension say that the gun u ordered isnt in yet

 

Problem with shopping the racks is time. Most places closed tomorrow. Have work Monday til about 5 and then wouldn't have a lot of time to shop. That's why i'm hoping for suggestions such as "oh, I saw this on consignment here or there"

I was at OMG customs in Bayonne today. He had a ton of great handguns available for sale

Also...if you are looking for 22's Casos in JC has a bunch of great choices in stock

Go shopping for a 22LR Pistol on Monday and say it's for you and your Daughter to get some Bonding time at the range together!!

 

After all our children are the next generation of shooters and supporters of the 2A..

As soon as she is old enough to understand gun safety and responsibility she is going to learn to shoot. I actually told my old lady that's why I bought my SR22 pistol and it's going to be my excuse when I buy a 10/22. It's for the children.... Since I have another on the way!

Please, buy something.

You sure it is still valid Chris? Remember, it is 90 days from the issue date and not 3 months.

 

ETA: Just looked at your previous purchase. You are still good for Monday.

August 28 was the issue date. Must have missed a day when counting. Thought tomorrow was 90 days but after a recount today appears to be the last day.

Check your local FFL. This time of year a lot of people sell used guns for Holiday cash. You might find exactly what you are looking for in your price range.

August 28th was a Tuesday. 12 weeks (84) days was this last Tuesday. Count 6 more days from there and it will be Monday.

It's like a last min save. :)

Would love to but a little out of my $range right now. I've been scrolling up and down Mr. PK90's website since last night hoping something will catch my eye. Luckily for me AnA is only 10 mins from my house. 15 if I catch a light or two and some traffic.

He's got a bunch of options under 400 bucks, go for it.

So I stopped in and saw Paul after work. Almost bought the I/O Hellcat but just couldn't do it. Felt like what was financially possible for me just wasn't right so I decide to take a chance and try to get my pistol permits extended. Maybe I was just paranoid with how long it took to get the permits. however the woman at the front desk seemed cool and said the chiefs secretary will call me as so as they are done so I'm staying optimistic. Although I didn't buy anything I have to give a +1 to him for ZombieBooth.

Not anymore. Two more left yesterday. One to CO and the other to IL. :ok:

 

Awesome!

If it doesn't get signed you will regret it.

Picked up the extended permits tonight. After the 72 days it took to get them I was worried but it worked out this time. Valuable lesson learned. Next time.... well there wont be a next time.
