Ammo hoarding

[magnanimous_j]

Our 2nd Ammendment rights have already been *censored*ized enough.

If I wanted to jump through all the right hoops and had a lot of money, I could buy a fully automatic MP5K, put a silencer on it, and legally carry it on my person almost anywhere in the state.

What else do you want?

[Pat/Rick]

National concealed carry/reciprocity would be the starting point. No red tape, no hoops, and no ultra expensive fees to exercise those Rights as aforded by the Constitution, all of those very instances "infringe".

i think there's a little humor in this for me.  i believe that a shotgun is about the most practical weapon for any kind of "end of world" or survival situation.  yet the shelves at every retailer i've seen are packed with shotgun shells in every gauge and variety.  yeah, the price sucks, but that's because lead went up about 400% over the last couple years(used to be able to get 1lb rolls for fishing for $.89, now they're 4-5 bucks everywhere, because china has been buying it up from us).  i'd rather have a shotgun than any rifle to defend myself against banditos/zombies/looters etc.

now what really pisses me off is that i can't buy 22LR anywhere.  pretty sad considering that cabela's and sportsman's warehouse are right down the road.  even tried the cesspool that is walmart.  found one box of 22 ammo at a local gun shop, about walked out of the store with it and saw that they were only 22 shorts, oops!

i'm gonna get a big laugh when all the speculators end up being wrong, like usual.

BigGoonTuna- head north to Surplus Arms and Ammo in Lakewood - lots of 22lr (as of a week ago)

magnanimous_j - Are you in OR/ID? As far as I know WA state doesn't allow Class III weapons and while silencers are legal to buy here you can't use them within the WA state. (I did get to shoot an MP5SD at Bullseye back when that stuff was legal and it was FUN!)

[BigGoonTuna]

someone told me about that place in lakewood when i was at the gun shop the other day, i'll have to make a run up there.

stopped in to sunbirds in chehalis on the way back from the river, they had lots of ammo(but only junk 22LR).

Tactical Tailor is out in front of the shop - have a look in there too. Made in WA high quality military gear - lots of stuff that can be used for hunting/camping/fishing/shooting.  Pricey, but really high quality and they do mods on all there gear while you wait.

All of the gear I brought to Iraq was Tactical Tailor.  Their quality is the best you'll find, and the price pretty reasonable for the quality.  Nice people, too.

i made it up to surplus arms today -- didn't have exactly what i was looking for, but a decent selection compared to just about everywhere else i've seen.  nice folks there too.
