My mom is anti-weapons and therefore my dad must abide by her feelings towards guns. I wish I could have an XD .45 compact to carry around with me on my waist, but there is no way in heck that my dad would purchase it let alone the ammo. I might as well wait till I am 21 since I am in college and a handgun does me no use on campus.

I carry the el pistola, but keep it hidden, NC doesn't allow anyone under 21 to possess a handgun but oh well. My uncle is a firearms instructor and builds custom sniper rifles for Col. Chandler at Iron Brigrade Armory, so a $2000+ Remington 700 will be the next rifle invested in, something about deer hunting at 500+ yards fascinates me. But the next pistol will be a 1911 of sometype, I just love the "knockdown" of the .45.

H&K Sub Compact .40 = best carry gun of all time :smoke:

I absolutely hate any sub compact gun, the grip is always to small for my hand leaving 1-2 fingers hanging past the bottom of the grip. That makes the recoil seem ridiculous, now I do love H&K pistols they are a very nice product if you don't mind paying $700-$1000 for an out of a box gun. Personally if I was going to pay that for a carry gun it would be either a Kimber Tactical Custom II, or a Sig P229R Crimson Trace in 357SIG.

One way around this is tell them the bullets are for a carbine. or buy them at a gun show. Thats how i get all my bullets

I don't think I would go to the campus or the post office with a gun..:smoke:

I have three ar15's one configured for long range shooting, one is a "swiss army knife" with all the attachments, and one is just a plinker. I am currently building another one in .308 for hunting purposes. I have two smith and weston .44 mag revolvers, a taurus pt 92 9mm para, a savage 300 wsm with a custom thumbhole stock, a savage .308 lever action, a 870 20 ga shotgun, a 12ga 835 ultimag mossberge, and 3 different 22lr's and a 17 hmr. I love shooting and go every chance I get! P.S. great thread start!

Exactly why it serves me no use. I will be getting a shotgun this summer and it will come to MI with me to my grandparents. Now the nice thing is that I can actually check my firearms in a locked case at the police department on campus. They will keep them until I take them off campus to the range or something. A handgun would do me no good now so I will just wait till I'm 21 and then get one:thumbsup: No hurry I'm just starting to get into guns.

jmeyerholtz-

That is actually a good idea to tell them I own a carbine! If I had the handgun I would just buy the ammo for the carbine because it's the same ammo for the xd .45 :thumbsup: Now how do I get the xd .45? :lol:

18 or over cabelas says for the .45 acp ammo!!! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...+acp&noImage=0

Damn that is cool:thumbsup:

enough said!!

So I will be home next Sunday and attending the Nation's Gun Show at the Dulles Expo Center. Anyone going to be there? I am going to look for the shotgun I want and see if I can find it at a cheaper price or maybe a pelican case at a cheaper price. If i can't then I'm going to wait till summer so I can make some money first and then get my FFL to transfer it in and buy the other stuff on MidwayUSA.com I guess.
For guys that have gone-
What did you guys think of the show?
Were there lots of things that were discounted?
Is that the best place to buy ammo?

Thanks!:thumbsup:

Also I am working on a locking gun rack for the cieling so it is visible, but not sticking out like a sore thumb in the rear window. This way people can not access the gun if they do not know where the lock is. I know pro-gard sells some, but none of them will really work in the truck. I don't want to drill holes in the truck, so I need to figure out what to fabricate and how to mount it. I may just have to buy the pro-gard lock and bolt it to my own fabricated and painted rack? Any input is helpful!
Almost forgot the rack will be for a folding stock/pistol grip Remington 870 12ga probably:thumbsup:

I have a mosin nagant. Next on the list is the german side. im gonna get a KAR98. Were you get money for all those.... those guns aint cheap!!! M1garand goes for close too 600. Carbine cheapest ive seen is 350. i would love to have a 1903 springfeild 30-06. and i just love the sound of the M1garand when the clip is empty!!:banana:
