Yeah, it's pretty funny. The gun &
ammo manufacturers are loving the current political discussion.
Gun owners (for the record, I own them) act like typical 'little
guy' investors; they buy high & sell low. Most of us on this
list are old enough to have seen at least 3 or 4 of these major
gun control discussions over the decades (I remember the panic due
to legislation after the Kennedy assassination), & 'after
changes upon changes, we are more or less the same'. A year from
now, I predict that the only significant change in federal law
will (might) be some type of background check that pretends to
keep felons from buying guns.
A couple of political tidbits that some may not be aware of:
The Bush administration fought tooth & nail against allowing
airline pilots to carry.
The Obama administration reversed the Bush era rules & made it
legal to carry in national parks.
My conclusion would be to just relax & wait, & if I had a
few weapons I wasn't really interested in any more, I'd put them
on the market. :-)

I don't suppose the shortage on .40 has
anything to do with various agencies of the the
Federales buying up pretty much all the current
capacity of the major manufacturers for the next
year or more? There are a lot of conspiracy
theories floating around, but Occam's Razor
suggests that the Feds just want to dry up the
supply for everyone else.
Without ammo, a firearm is just an awkward club.
How much do you folks consider to be a reasonable
supply to carry in your airplane? For me, 40 - 50
rounds (Rifle=20rd/box; pistol=50/box) should be
enough to see me through a trek back to
civilization.

Sorry Brother, the department supplies my

Yes. I am aware of the shortage
It's overcast here too and is gonna be at
least the next two days, my days off from
rolling and patrolling. Sigh. So tomorrow I will
try to repair my fence so my pup doesn't try to
knock-up every bitch in heat in SE Houston. I
can do that in the rain. :-) Yes, I need to
fix him....poor pup....

Chris,
Well, it is low IFR here in
Austin-Lockhart today, so the wife and I
went to the shooting range. We would have
stayed longer, but in case you haven't
heard, there's a severe shortage of ammo
virtually everywhere. So, tell me Chris,
what's the inside skinny on where to buy
9mm?
