I joined the NRA today!

[Sooner5030]

Thought I'd do my small part to provide some resources ($35) to to an organization that protects my freedoms. I have to do something to counter the rest of the intervention-dependent herd that votes. Since I no longer support the Pub party I guess I will start giving a little bit to organizations that I agree with. Maybe CATO will be next or some Austrian/Mises Orgs. Anyone know a good organization that is pushing for legalization of recreational pot in Okieville? I'd give them a few bucks too.

I'm also about to go down to Cabela's and check out the 9mm pistol I've been thinking about buying for some time now. Thought I'd go with the Beretta since I am fairly familiar with that particular weapon.

Hope you enjoy crowds.

Funny thing that you say that. I just got back.....when I got there the first thing I saw was a sign "we are out of ARs, sorry for the blah". Then I saw a sign...barely through the crowd in front of me that stated "please take a number for gun sales inquiries" I pulled out #59 and shortly after while looking at the pistols I heard an associate yell #9. I walked out......I'll try to go back midweek. They did have one used Beretta FS92 for $540 and a few new ones between $650-750 though.

Go to Academy if you want a 9mm pistol. Not sure they sell Berettas though.

Either that or go to: galleryofguns.com or budsgunshop.com and order it.

[mojorisen2014]

Academy sells Berettas. I bought a PX4 Storm there and its a damn good gun

Cabela's in Fort Worth will not sell guns to out of staters (or they wouldn't last year). (edited to add it may have been pistols that they won't sell to non-Texans rather than guns)

I was at the Cabela's in Olympia, WA. I may try one of the sporting goods stores in the area.

They are getting ready to put a Cabela's about 35 miles from my home. The wife is going to be pissed. LOL Had our highway department not pitch such a bitch they would have built it ten miles away from where I live. We have tax free shopping so Cabelas is going to make a killing.

Oh brother. I bet they are more guns in pawn shops in OKC than all of Washington State.

pm "Mid"!
I'm sure he's "on it".

The PAC NW may be pretty liberal when it comes to social spending and the environment but these folks love themselves some guns. Kinda weird.

[Sooner5030]

I settled for a Beretta 92A1 9mm that i found in a local sporting goods store. The store will hold onto the weapon until my ATF request clears. I also went down to the local PD and filed for a CCL. They said it could take two weeks.

Not too bad.

[MR2-Sooner86]

I think Gun Owners of America is a better organization but that's me.

[Soonerjeepman]

congrats...I went and shot yesterday. Getting CCL in a month or so.

Why the wait? Are they backed up?

Out in the west once you get outside the urban areas, the suburban and rural areas tend to be strong gun supporters.

Here in Colorado there is a waiting list of over 13,000 people waiting for background checks with the CBI for gun purchases. What was about a 23 minute wait in November is now almost two weeks. I am going to enter the queue after we close on our house on Friday.

I'm all for any and all gun rights groups, but like you said: the one that's been there all along fighting to defend our 2nd Amendment rights is the NRA. Why I'm a Life Member, and may upgrade that to benefactor or some such.

I think that Diver was referreing to the wait on "walking out" with the gun you just bought.
I also thought that once you fill out the paperwork, that they just go to a computer, punch in your info, and "boom" (literally", you're ready to go.
My fed BRC only took maybe 10 minutes.

*But, I can concieve of the recent uptick in guns sales making it hard to keep up with during business hours.

The exact opposite of the AARP!
Like unions, they were good to a point.
Now that you need them to look out for you (the senior), they area all about themselves and $power!

Wow! I agree with cruiser on something. Besides, I won't trust any organization that continually tries to scare up new donations.

I have never walked out of a store without my gun. They say people are in a panic and there is a rush. I am going to gamble and wait til summer to get my next pistol. Things should calm down by then.

Same here!
I can wait until the shelves are restocked, and the stores panic with the bursting inventory.
"Meaningful" gun control ain't goin' nowhere in this Congress!
