The Gun Thread

I wish i knew something about guns.

[JET]

Is the permit for first time gun owners or something? I just bought a gun in Blaine last month and didn't fill out a permit. :P Just the normal state form when you buy the gun.

[A//// Guy]

Yea permit to purchase is only for handguns I thought from a private party, otherwise dealers you apply right with them.

Rifles and shotguns though.. they just do a quick check on your and off you go.

Permit allows you to buy a handgun same day if you also pass the fed check. I have it as I'm also looking at a handguns, but for rifles you don't need one. Just the form and the fed check, think it's called a NIX check or something.

Also, if anyone hasn't been to Arnzen Arms in EP, go. Such a nice store and the staff is great. Their shop dog is amazing. lol

Hmmm, I thought for sporting rifles (assault rifle style) you had to have it. It's called a permit to purchase.

I am going to Bill's tonight so I will confirm with them.

I already filed the form with the PD today, should have the permit in a week or two.

I also went to Capela's and Cabela's today, neither had any assault rifles :( Might end up with something bolt action, we will see. I am going to talk to Bill's tonight when we go shooting about ordering me one otherwise I might do the onlinegunbroker deal and have it shipped to Bill's. I am also going to be in Oklahoma all next week so I plan to look there and arrange to have it shipped to bills if i find something.

Pretty sure the permit is for handguns, as well as assault rifles. I needed it to purchase my AR-15 receiver from Bill's. Bill's still had to do a quick check while I was there, but I needed the state issued permit as well. They're good for a year, and the permit was free when I applied at Blaine PD, and I think I got it in like a week. I was amazed because nothing government issued is free typically!

Don't be surprised they have no ammo for you to shoot an AR with. EVERYTHING is picked over and there is nearly nothing in stock, online, anywhere. Order up an AR now and you might see it sometime next early next year if you're lucky.

I got the last two 25 round mags for my Ruger SR22 at Fleet Farm tonight. Anything AR related there is also gone.

Had trouble finding 7.62x39. Bought a 1400 round case of IMI munitions, complete with hebrew on the crate and a star of david on lid retainer. Sitting pretty with the new Arsenal SLR-101S AK and my converted Saiga 12.

I've been stocking up for 15 years or so. I'm good no matter what happens :D

So the two SCAR's at Bills were sold and we checked with them, 6-8 months to get a SCAR. I guess all the manufacturers have halted production to see how this all shakes out :(

They had ammo and a SCAR to rent, I tested it out. It had iron sites and I am sure was a little beat up, but I loved every shot!

The sights were a bit off I think or something because I was pretty consistent. Awesome night at the range and now I just need to find a SCAR to buy. I am going to Oklahoma next week so hopefully I can find one there, buy it and have bills get it shipped to them. Fired a SCAR, sig516, .45 pistol (can't remember what kind) and my buddies .223 AR and his .22 AR. The 22 was fun, little plinker but fun and cheap to shoot.

Great night, really want a gun so I can do it more often.
