Now it's limited reservations that are completely booked, for fixed campsites you do not get to choose, and exorbitant daily fees.

Maybe there is a public hearing on it and we have a moment to challenge the status of the citizen applying. People need jobs, so perhaps the state could pay assistants to help you establish your reason for gun ownership, and they could also check on your gun and make sure it was secure.

It is nothing any law abiding citizen...

All >10 round magazines are now illegal to possess and must be surrendered or removed from the state.

Springfield Armory has the Ronin (1911) and the XD-M.

A M1911 A1/A2 that has a book from Rock Island Armory and he was told it was stock, except for the grips - we think that was a lie, more on that in a moment. He got a couple of clips and a case.

Also, a box of 45 cal 230 gram FMJ bullets. (50 count)

No handgun ammo at all, and precious few boxes of rifle and shotgun. The ammo shelves were 80% bare. I'd heard there was a shortage, but fuuuuck!

On the other hand, they sure were selling guns! I never even got to talk to a clerk, 'cause three of them were busy...

After not being able to find that deal, I ended up buying a refurbished one off eBay. Turned out to be a lemon. After 6 months of small engine repair and warranty company run around and hassle I wrote it off as a lesson learned.

Looking at buying new, but don't want to pony up 1k for a Honda or Yamaha. This Hyundai looks better than decent and is on sale for not too much. Anyone have experience with them?...
