It's 8 AM.....and I m at the opening of the sheriff s office to get my concealed renewed....and the line is out the door....the place just opened...and not a single black face but mine....we need wake up....
Some folks still don't get it.........
I'm finna get online and order this Springfield XDM 3.8 Compacy 45 later. It's hard as fuck findin' one'a these hoes.
Better hurry before Obama changes all the rules. He's looking to issue an executive order on Gun Sales. I can imagine online FFL's and sales would be one of the targets he wants to close off.
Also, anyone have any experience with buying weapons through a private FFL? A friend in Virginia says he buys all his guns from a guy who basically runs his own online gun & supply store from his house.
He orders the gun for you - you come to his home to pick it up and sign some paperwork, hand him the money and leave and it's all perfectly legal!
I thought they only place one could buy a new firearm was from a legitimately, licensed and bonded gun store

I have a friend that is a "private FFL", he has no "Brick and Mortar" retail space so to speak. He does business (sales and transfers) from his home, dealing with only select clientele. From what I was told, this was all the rage in the early days. The BATF&E now (not surprisingly) frowns upon this and almost never approves an FFL applications without a "brick and mortar retail space".
As far as the POTUS and his pending EO on gun sales. I'm almost sure we will see something come across in the next few weeks. I have all my ducks in a row, less two NFA forms, that I will send out this week. In fact I passed by my LGS and the volume of customers was more than the weekend before Christmas. I'm waiting for the 41P decision. I won't go into detail about 41P, those interested can visit the link below for information.......

I agree. That's why I went and got my concealed instead of putting it off. Obama is rumored to be mentioning gun control in the state of the union. And our governor just revoked concealed carry reciprocity to a bunch of states.
I hate the black people on youtube being pawns for them though. I see Colin is promoting for the NRA. They aren't after our interest. They use us to promote their agenda and gain power. We need to conceal carry for those nuts.
Yeah I was looking up people in my area to find out who had a FFL. I found a black guy who operated out of his home, and I was like cool I'll rather give my money to a black guy. Did my research, and found him to be a Hank Strange Karl Malone type of black guy. I'd rather give my money to a redneck than a Karl Malone.
C/S
Every responsible black adult needs to legally own a gun.
"The gun lobby is well organized in its defense of effortlessly available guns for anyone"
A+ on false information.
They were talking avout this nee EO at da gun shop this morning. What's da specifics and how will it affect customers???
Nobody knows what the POTUS is going to do. Nibbs posted a video of him talking about taking action. From what was said, he will be meeting with the AG on Monday to discuss plans. Even if there are no immediate actions, the threat alone is going to create havoc. The next nationwide buying frenzy will ensue shortly. I'd say if you don't have what you want/need yet, it may be too late (certainly in terms of availability, perhaps in terms of restrictions and or outright bans). I'm not tryin to over react, but in the past all it took was a hint of restriction and/or new legislation and folks lost their minds. At this point, we just have to wait and see......
meanwhile it was Reagan that created the first assault rifle ban.....
They said exactly that. That da combo of da ISIS/L shit, that Cali shooting, da EO and da holidays got folks spooked and buying up err'thang
Props. Slept on this thread.
Imma hafta look into that concealed carry permit. Thats a game changer

- Optional threaded barrel, .5” x 28 TPI. (Walther Press photo of PPX “SD” version shown above);
- Loaded chamber indicator: The PPX has a loaded chamber viewport, which is similar to those found on the Smith & Wesson M&Ps;
- Three safeties: two drop safeties and a firing pin block;
- The magazine release is in the traditional “American” position and is reversible at the operator level, so that southpaws can optimize the ergonomics without gunsmith assistance;
- Front and rear slide serrations for increased grip;
- The texture pattern on the grip is extremely well thought out, and provides a non-slip surface while still maintaining comfort for the user;
- There is no magazine disconnect feature: the PPX will fire even without a magazine inserted in the magwell; and
- 1 year warranty. Really, only one year? Pretty lame, Walther.
- Not rated for +P or +P+ ammo.
Conclusion
I’ve always been a fan of Walther pistols, if for no other reason that they tend to look cool. Whether you’re talking the PPK, P-38, P5, or P99, Walther pistols have always had that “look” of awesomeness about them. (P5 shown above). I guess the PPX is the ugly duckling of the family; perhaps not as ugly as the Springfield XD, but on the homely side nonetheless. But the PPX is good where it really counts: performance and value. You might say it’s the minivan of polymer pistols; not a looker but pretty darn practical and economical.
I think Walther’s press release for the PPX sums it up best:
We are very excited about the new Walther PPX because it has all the features law enforcement and avid shooters have come to expect from Walther but is affordable so it can fit in anyone’s shooting budget,” said Adam Blalock, President and CEO of Fort Smith-based Walther Arms, Inc. “This is one pistol that truly has to be fired to appreciate and it is certainly worthy of the Walther name.
I agree that the PPX is a pistol that grows on you when you fire it. While this pistol would not, in my estimation, be a good candidate for a concealed carry piece due to its bulk, relatively light trigger, and lack of manual safety, I do think the Walther PPX will serve very nicely in the role of an inexpensive-but-reliable home defense pistol or range plinker.
Bottom line: would I recommend the PPX to someone looking for an entry level pistol in the $400 price range? Absolutely. If the buyer has some additional coin I would probably steer them towards a PPQ M2 or an M&P. My only real hesitation: I do wish the PPX were rated for +P and +P+ ammunition, as the 9 x 19mm needs all the help it can get in the man-stopper department.
The Walther PPX for this review was provided by The Kentucky Gun Company.

Ratings (Out of Five Stars):
Accuracy: * * * * *
A good trigger equals good accuracy, and Walther is really paying attention to its trigger design. I seriously doubt that there is any other 9mm semi-auto pistol in the $400 price that is more accurate than the PPX.
Ergonomics: * * * *
Pistol ergonomics can be kind of a “blonde vs brunette vs redhead” type of debate. You will either love the PPX or hate it, but you won’t know until you try it out. If you liked the ergonomics of the P-99, you’ll probably like the PPX. The slide lock is easy to reach, and since there are no manually operated safeties, the only real ergonomics issue is the grip. I find the Walther PPX to be comfortable in my hand. The mag well takes some getting used to, and I found it somewhat difficult at first to perform magazine changes because the handgrip appears to be vertically aligned while the mag well is more angled.
Reliability: * * * * *
I shot over 700 rounds of factory ammo through the PPX and experienced no malfunctions of any kind. In the short term, I have total confidence in the fact that this pistol will go “bang” every time. Whether that will hold up into round 25,000(+) remains an open question, although Walther, naturally enough, proclaims confidence.
Durability: * * * *
I didn’t torture test this gun and, frankly, 700 rounds is hardly enough to give much indication about the long-term durability of a firearm. After 700 rounds, there were no signs of weakness in the materials or design. Well, other than one minor thing: the hammer does appear to be pinged from impact. While this is largely cosmetic, it’s also not very confidence-inspiring.
Customization: * *
Threaded barrels are available for this pistol as are 10-round magazines for those unfortunates who live in states controlled by controlling socialists. The picatinny rail allows you to bolt on whatever toys you want. Holsters for the PPX are pretty still rare (non-existent?) at this point. No night sights yet, but I remain hopeful.
Overall: * * * * ½
The PPX offers a lot of gun for the money – undoubtedly it has to be one of the best pistols you can buy in the $350 to $450 price range. I can’t say “the best” because I simply haven’t had the chance to try everything out there. Yet. And besides, so much of what makes a pistol “right” for any given user is a matter of personal preference as to to fit, the look of the sights, the type of triggers, etc.
As I said before, this gun is really too fat and bulky to be my first choice as a concealed carry gun. But some guys will carry a full size M-1911 or GLOCK 17 with no concerns, so if you fall into that category, the PPX won’t present any unique concealment issues. But the PPX is an excellent choice as a range plinker or a reliable home defense handgun. It would also serve well as a duty pistol for those law enforcement agencies with limited budgets who can’t justify the purchase of a PPQ.
8? 10? All handguns & pistol carbines?
Got any long guns?
Long guns will easily count up 8 by themselves. Two 22lr's, two 5.56, two or three 12ga, two 7.62x39, one 7.62x51.
For some reason I got this idea in my head to have enough of certain kinds to drop off to all the women in my family if SHTF. So a shotgun & handgun for each without a husband.
I'm new to scopes, optics in general, and I need some direction for my first scope. Where to start? It'll be for a 10/22, and another for a 7.62x39.
Got a couple questions for the AR guys.
I want a factory AR, not a franken-gun that somebody put together in their basement or garage, so I been looking at Daniel Defense. I know DD is supposedly a top tier AR manufacturer.
What's the difference in the v's? Like DDM4v1, DDM4v2, etc.
What's another good make of factory AR's?
Spike's any good?

BUY ONCE, FOCUS what type of shooting you will do. DD are good rifles, but why not build your own
Any suggestions on where to start? Shooting .22lr up to 200 yds, 7.62 up to 500 yds. both used for night shooting.
Also, what's the best red dot? EOTech? I ain't wanna spend $500, but I don't like wasting money and buying shit twice, so I'm thinking it'll be good to just buy the best.
Because, I, Don't, Know, How. Quality control, I don't want pins walkin out, etc. and as of right now I don't have a desire to build one.
I'm not big on interchangeability of parts & accessories, I'd rather the piece of mind of reliability, maybe a warranty, etc. and seeing as how I've never been in the military, I wouldn't know where to start w/ all the different options. That's why I asked about all the different models of DDm4's, what's the difference. The only thing I know is that I probably want a Gas Piston instead of a direct impingement gun.

This is a basic rating of AR15 companies, only thing I'd change is to move Noveske and BCM to tier 1 and PSA to tier 2.
Tier 1: LWRC= POF = KAC = Larue
Tier 2: BCM = LMT = Sabre = Ranier = Colt = Noveske = Daniel Defense = FN = JP
Tier 3: RRA = Spikes = YHM = Armalite = Bushmaster (old-Windham,ME) = S&W = Ruger = Windham Weaponry
Tier 4: CMMG = DPMS = PSA = Stag = CavArms = Mega = Bushmaster (new-Ilion,NY) = Adams Arms = Del-ton = Primary
Tier 5: Oly = Rguns = Model 1 = Eagle
Tier 6: New Frontier = Century C-15 = Vulcan
Tier 1: LWRC= POF = KAC = Larue
Tier 2: BCM = LMT = Sabre = Ranier = Colt = Noveske = Daniel Defense = FN = JP
Tier 3: RRA = Spikes = YHM = Armalite = Bushmaster (old-Windham,ME) = S&W = Ruger = Windham Weaponry
Tier 4: CMMG = DPMS = PSA = Stag = CavArms = Mega = Bushmaster (new-Ilion,NY) = Adams Arms = Del-ton = Primary
Tier 5: Oly = Rguns = Model 1 = Eagle
Tier 6: New Frontier = Century C-15 = Vulcan
One of my boys has a Walther, to me they're ugly and heavy
Yep, I went to Walmart for the first time yesterday in a couple of months to buy some ammo, and I swear the price rose $3 or $4. It was over $25 a box.
Need to go the gun show here in a couple of months for some self defense ammo

Those Walther's ugly as fuck.
I knew something about this list was off and reeked of fanboy bias. This is the same bullshit listing that was posted over at AR15. com back in 2013 or so.
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1446406_AR_Manufacturer_Tier_Quality_Ranking.html
With that out of the way this list has been picked apart in countless ways, over the past 2 years. The most glaring fail of this list, is the lack of ranking criteria. What makes "Tier 1" Larue a better rifle that let's say a "Tier 2" Noveske ? As far as Mega being "Tier 4", Mega Arms doesn't even market a turnkey rifle.
Negative. The 1st "Assault Weapons Ban" was enacted in 1994 signed by Bill "I didn't have sexual relations, with that woman" Clinton. You are probably thinking of the "National Firearms Act" of 1986, signed by Regan.....
Take a breath man I didn't write the shit, was just trying to help the brotha get an idea of what most people believe to be the tiers of rifle companies.
Nah the Nation Firearms Act was signed by FDR in 1934. Which is why we have to pay tax stamps on silencers and other NFA items. Regan passed the Gun Control Act in 1968...which had more to do with gun runners. Which made the Contra scandal on his watch comical...
