Okay...

So we have Trump as POTUS and not Hillary. We have the HPA pending. With still a long way to go. Now is not the time to sit back on auto pilot. I keep hearing from everyone that the industry is super slow right now.

Go buy something! If this is a hobby you love. Go join a 2A group. Don't wait around and home the HPA passes if you are on the fence about a suppressor. That could be years down the road, if at all. Support the companies you love now and don't wait till the next election or terror attack to panic buy.

Now is not the time to sit back and do nothing. Now is the time for us as firearm owners to try and push forward and gain ground.

On this point, Texans and Non-Texans I encourage you to join the TSRA.

This is a odd year so the Legislature is in session for 180 days IIRC, we are half way through the Legislative calendar.
In Texas it is the TSRA that has kept the Legislators feet to the fire, LTC, Castle Doctrine, 5 year LTC, easy renewal LTC, Stand your ground, Traveling law, Open Carry, Campus Carry, etc.

This session there are still important bills to pass like lowering the LTC fee to Zero/$40, clarifying school events w/ LTC, improving Campus Carry, etc.

Join if you are not a member and please renew this year. Bloomberg's Mad Moms with Common sense are getting stronger not weaker each year in Austin.

Join the TSRA!

the reason no one is buying is because there was a surge in firearms buying the last 8 years. Everyone maxed out their budgets "Just in case". I would imagine there are people still paying off credit cards from all the buying that was done.

I just bought a P229 Legion in .357 Sig. Does that count?

Actually I haven't bought because they haven't had what I want in stock, G40 MOS and a G34 MOS

I have a brand new G34 but its not MOS, so I'm thinking about trading it in on an MOS version vs mailing it off to a machine shop.

You caught me at a bad time, financially. I just bought a gun from a member here and spent another 700-800 on reloading and ammo supplies. Since the new gun is not a caliber I reload, yet, I predict I'm not finished yet. Being retired, I have too much time and not enough income.

Okay,I just did. Doing my part.

Today? Again? I think other than today I've got pretty much every day this week covered.

Didn't buy anything today but I did get s box in the mail with some Dillo dust, a tactical beverage entry tool, some targets, "God Bless our Troops, Especially our Snipers" bumper stickers and oh yeah, a MBT 2s trigger.

Now if the JoeBob Spartan upper would come back in stock.

Bought a low power scope today. Leupy ultralight 2.5x.

I went to Cabela's today; they have 22 LR! Got a box of those, and some .357.

I just went thru my ammo cabinet cleaning it out and reorganizing it. I found receipts in there for ammo and acc. I am very glad my wife did not find those. I cannot believe it myself how much I have spent in the last 4 or 5 years, YIKES.
I have not slowed up much and do not intend to.

This is not a hobby.

myrottiety, you're absolutely right. I have been trying to inhibit myself - I even put a post-it note on my monitor that reads, "DO NOT SPEND," because I'm so enthused by the lower prices I'm seeing. But with your words of encouragement, I just might make a few expenditures.

Wait a minute, you're not a salesman are ya?

I bought a safe two weeks ago. I hope that counts because I'm tapped out for the next several months.

I'm waiting on a distributor exclusive to come out (4" .22lr GP-100), then I'm going to pull the trigger, so to speak.

It's been a year since I bought a new gun (S&W Victory) and I'm getting the itch again.

Ruger LCR9, today, for me.

I bought a 100 rounds of 9mm. Small purchase, but I have done enough window shopping to keep me interested in purchasing quite a bit more.
