I love it how everyone freaked out and are now charging double the price in some cases for rifles. . . . Sounds pretty ridiculous to me. I am assuming you paid somewhere around $600 for it?
Trust me when I tell you I have firearms strictly for defense, HOWEVER I still practice very often. Both of my firearms are VERY comfortable to shoot. I personally feel you should take every opportunity to practice with what you carry.
Finding magazines should not be a problem if I do end up attending. I am have been looking to purchase more, I have just not personally made the spare cash available to spend. This would not be an overbearing purchase if needed.
I am pretty sure I'd rather be chased on foot by wild bears w/ a .22 than go to Gary anytime, day or night. :ar15:Give me a M16, then maybe I'll think about it. Being 120lbs soaking wet does not exactly help my chances in a town like that also.
A few friends of mine are using Federal HST's in there G21s (9mm). I am looking to get a small batch of these for my G27 here soon and see how they shoot.
