Ugh, I live in one of those states, need to go buy up mags before they make it illegal

Mags are available. Make sure each weapon has at least 7 mags. Thats 210 rounds for an AR and 56 rounds for a 1911. Back in the day you could get away with 1 or 2 mags as the biggest threat was a single meth head or maybe him and a fiending buddy. Today you stand the real threat of your car surrounded by dozens of angry people intent on causing you and your family bodily injury and death. Kyle is a perfect example as to why you need a 30 round AR mag. If he didnt run as far as he did, he would have needed several 30 rounders.

Now mags may be available but Ammo isnt. In this kind of situation I would recommend you keep 500 rounds for "purposes". Any extra beyond that should be spent in getting good. Tight shot groups and fast transition. Take a breath and use good trigger squeeze.

We need more places around here with open membership enrollment, all the outdoor ranges only take members every so often, and I've never had the need to go shooting as often as I do now, friends with property is great but i hate using someone's land like that..

Anyone know a good first-time long gun, mainly for self-defense, I’d prefer to stay under 500

$500 that is

Shotgun maybe?

Maverick 88 @Crusader Sam

If you can find any...

Bass Pro had a sale selling them for $180 but they ran out cuz they weren't getting manufactured

Alright thanks guys

Sks are around 300 I think. It's been awhile since I priced one.

Finally got my CZ P01 fully tricked out. Cajun trigger and all.

@Odb I heard CZ is pretty good.

I'm planning on saving up for the CZ Scorpion pistol.

I shot my first gun today. It was so fun

Yeah @Erby they’re great considering the price point, gives you some flexibility to customize. I have a Cmmg banshee but my buddy said he really liked the Scorpion

@little hollow Welcome to the club lol

Can I post a link to the scorpion? @AMERICANFREEDOM [CEO OF FREEDOM]

@Odb did you know about the micro version of the Scorpion?

@Erby why would you not be able to

guns channel

https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-scorpion-evo-3-s2-pistol-micro-w-folding-brace/

dang

thats pretty

The micro is so tiny lol

Only a 4"barrel

And it comes with a folding brace.

Yeah @Erby that’s the gun my buddy got for his backpack. Incase he needed a travel gun. He said it’s surprisingly accurate

@Odb the micro???

Tbh I kinda wish I got that instead of the Banshee, just because I like the stock more.

@Erby yup

Is the folding brace even worth the extra ~$300 mark-up?

@Erby no I wouldn’t say so

This stock is just fine

Wouldn't that be classified as an sbr?
