Hey guys, I heard a commercial for an s&w shield with laser sight for $399 at Bowie outfitters...

I have been looking into these for a while, but did not feel like dealing with having it shipped...

when I went to their website, it looked like all the shields were out of stock. Does anyone have the lowdown?

I'm curious why? You can buy a gun on your phone on the toilet then pick it up at an FFL in a couple days.

Mostly because I've never done it before. as stupid as it sounds, the idea of buying something on the internet, where my purchases can be tracked, and then having to pick it up somewhere else just seems ridiculous.b also, like the idea of purchasing from somewhere local where, as someone new to semi-autos, I could get a little advice...

I know that the procedure of buying and Bowie and having to deal with the waiting period is really no different, but still

Great idea. How exactly do I do that ???

J/k, I live about half an hour from the shop, so it would be good to know exactly what they have before I go.

You realize they can track you now that you’ve posted this online right? ATF! ATF!

Oh s***, I'm screw...

I mean "no, the brown shirts have talked good sense into me, and made me realize that, as a white male, there's no reason for me to own a gun! I have my privilege to protect me."

chances are there will be no waiting period. have you gotten delayed on checks in the past? just make the drive, get educated, and leave with gun, or worst case, return in 3 days for it

No. But all of my firearms have been hunting rifles or shotguns, handed down, or private sale...

A half hour drive in Baton Rouge is like 4 blocks. Just ride over or call.

Sure, the ATF knows that I'm purchasing a firearm, but at least Amazon, Google, etc Don't know when and where and can't target me with ads... Or doxx me one day when they decide the mob should punish all gun owners

All of this is good for me, and other people to know. I have done some reading on the subject, but I am not nearly the expert that many of you on this board are. I know I read a post earlier today about a guy who was looking to buy his first firearm ever...

Yep that sounds stupid, any firearm you purchase through a dealer is tracked.

You a criminal?

Check this list out. There are a few dealers with that price that have stock.

ETA: Sorry didn't see you're afraid to try something new before posting.
