CCW
« on: January 20, 2009, 07:56:34 PM »

I never seen so many people at the gun show getting their CCW. Ammo in low supply, when to walmart to get some 22LR and the shelf are empty.....WOW is this just in Miami or is this a new way of life in the Obama nation? 

I had one for years now, but looks to me everyone has one now. If you have one, what do you carry?   I carry a Glock 19 with some goodies.

I got a little g27 but need to send in my CCW I already took the class this month, I just turned 21...I didn't do it for the obamacraze. I just haven't had the $ to send it in to be honest...and I just got back from Wally world and they are fresh out of .40 blazer brass.  but I have enough to keep all my magazines full...just not to shoot...

I originally got my CCW in 1988. Then I let it  expire and had to retake the course.  Bang Head

don't you guys know you're not supposed to let everyone know what you carry.  someone only has to say you threatened them and describe the gun and you could be screwed.  the only time someone will know what I'm carrying is when i intend to use it.

Kahr 40cal


I am not much on pistols.  I asked for one that my wife could shoot (she has a small hand) I was looking at the 9mm but the guy said he has seen someone get shot with a 9mm and still come at you so he suggested a 40cal.  She has done very well shooting it!  I hate to say it but her patterns were a lot better than mine.  Anyway thats what we carry.

I usually attend most gun shows from palm beach on south and occasionaly the one at the Lee county civic center , which tends to be pretty good. Last year military surplus ammo prices were some what stable until the polls started to show Obama gaining over Hillary . Once he got the nomination there was a steady increase during the campaig, all the way until the nov2 election .
Post election ...even greater demand.

A case of 1000 rnds of 7.62x39 was going for approx $189 depending the type , corrosive or not etc.
This past weekend sealed can of 700rnds starts at $250.

A  common reply to a ammo order :
We're sorry, this item (Product: 500 rds. 55 - gr. FMJ .223 Ammo (#######)) is not currently in stock. This backordered item will be delivered as soon as we get new stock in our warehouse. You will not be billed until the item is shipped.
This item is expected at XXXXXXXX distributor  on February 20, 2009.
If you do not want to order this item, please remove the item from your Shopping Cart.
 

Any AR or AK variant , regardless of make have gone up by approx +/-40%.
If a AR cost you $1200 last summer now its $2000 there's no haggling over these type of rifles.
Most dealers will flat out tell you, thats it not a penny less. 

We're going for a ride ....load up and enjoy  Drive

I had one for years now, but looks to me everyone has one now. If you have one, what do you carry?   I carry a Glock 19 with some goodies.

Ricky, unfortunately I think it's everywhere. It's tough to find ammo (on the shelves) these days. A good friend of mine owns a really nice gun shop here in Manatee County and I deal with him quite a bit and try to stop in at least once or twice per week to chit chat. He can't keep .223, 9mm, .22LR, etc. on the shelf. As fast as he gets it in, it's gone.

As far as guns, the same thing rings true. He can't keep a black rifle in stock. And, he's backordered through the manufacturers for months ahead. Most places (like Bushmaster, DPMS, Rock River, etc.) are back ordered for 3 months minimum, depending on the model requested.

This the the state of the Obamanation.

I've got my CCWP. Usually carry a Kimber Ultra Carry II in .45ACP on my person and usually have a S&W 629 6" in .44mag in the truck.  Wink

Matt, it's the 22lr and 17HMR thats pissing me off, I can reload the rest. I'm glad I got into reloading years ago and stocked up on primers and powder. I also got into casting bullets from tire weights, so no problem there. 


You know why it's so cold today....... Remember!

It will be a cold day in hell if we had a black president.  Huh

Totally agree.  I never reveal my weapons unless a LEO or a close friend asks.  I've had a CCW since 86.  Personally, I think any law abiding citizen living in Miami-Dade or Broward counties should have one.  Times are hard and crime is on the rise.

I haven't had any problems finding 9mm or .38 ammo but the prices at the local Wall-Mart have been steadily increasing.  I have had problems getting 7.62 ammo at a reasonable price.

I'm pretty stocked up on all the ammo I need...for now. But, I agree with you Ricky. Reloading is the way to go for sure!! I need to get back into it on a larger scale instead of piecemeal.

Oh, and the whole thing about identifying the gun you carry is a farce. All that is needed to put you in a predicament is for someone to say, 'He had a handgun and pointed it at me. I can't remember exactly what it looked like because I was so scared and upset but, it was definitely a hand gun."

Game over.

Not to get off subject but what is the law about shooting someone that is breaking into your house?  Didn't it just change not too long ago?  Again sorry big-daddy for getting off target here.

Not true...  The new law has nothing to do with litigation after the fact.  The new law changes the situations in which you can legally defend yourself.

Previously, you had to make an effort to retreat and/or avoid confrontation before you could legally defend yourself.  The new law strikes that down and basically states you must be in fear for yourself or your possessions or person's life or possessions in proximity to you.

Sounds like a good portion of the people on the Forums here need to invest in the book by Jon Gutmacher, "Florida Firearms:  Law, Use & Ownership"

Remember, unless you have your CCW almost any firearm-related offense or infraction is going to make you a FELON.  Even driving within 1000 feet of a school with a weapon in your car counts if you don't have a CCW.

We've had the Gutmacher conversations about 18 months ago. Most CCWP holders have it.

Matt, i understand what you're saying about identifying the gun being a farce, i thought about that too, however, why even let people know you carry and give them the opportunity to make up a story.  if they don't know, they would only be guessing.
