The thing is that it's so easy to fly with a pistol. My wife flew to where my son was stationed, declared that she had a pistol, and put it in a locked box. No problem flying with it. Of course it can't be loaded. She was driving his car home while he was deployed and wanted to have a gun with her while she drove home.

I know this is false because you can't find anything. I'm looking for an AR right now

How did you know how old the people in front of and behind in you in airport security were?

That’s not how it’s handled now. If you are led away in handcuffs, or if you spend any time detained, it is due to you having issues other than a handgun in the TSA line. Most can, if they have time, purchase a bag approved by TSA and check their gun through, and get on your flight. There is a fine, but there is no felony or misdemeanor record, no change to your carry permit, and your “case” is never before a judge. You get herded in and sign off with dozens of others in the same situation, before the “more serious” cases -traffic violations - are heard

Yeah because the bad guys always go through the legal route for their guns.

Recently I was able to get two boxes (20 rounds each) of Speer Gold Dot JHP for my wife's 38 special. I have not been able to find anymore. One of the main reasons I just bought a S&W M&P 9MM Shield is because I could still find ammo for it. I bought a 50 round box of 9MM JHP for my Taurus PT92 when I bought the 38 special ammo. The onsite store still has them in stock. I may buy more before election time.

I have not shot nor bought ammo for my pistols in 30 years until this crap started. I also bought a box of shotgun shells for my 20 gauge sawed off shotgun. I plan to switch the pistol grip to a tactical stock.

The bad guys that don’t yet have a criminal record that want to prolong antifa antics are buying ammo for the other bad guys.


To think that they are all a bunch of pussies that are going to use a slingshot instead of a gun is completely idiotic.

It shalll get ugly.

The surge in gun and ammo purchases has been incredible to witness. I assume the left doesn’t cover this topic extensively as it isn’t necessarily good for their side.

About 15 years ago a guy I worked with had been on a hunting trip out west. Coming home through Atlanta the TSA discovered a hunting knife he had forgot about in his shaving kit. The guy had never been in trouble with the law his whole life but he spent two or three nights in jail before his daughter who was a lawyer in Atlanta could get him out. We started calling him a terrorist .


Back in 1997 as a prank I cut out a handgun shape in cardboard and wrapped it in aluminum foil and glued it in the lining of my Jewish middle eastern college buddies suitcase. It took a couple hours to clear up.


I got popped in line one time in Germany for explosive residue in my carryon. Lost my favorite 3 day bag but it was cleared up and I made my flight.

I'm telling you for a fact a cop showed up, took photos of the gun, unloaded it, put the gun and bullets in an evidence bag and put the girl in handcuffs. All of this happened right in front of me. What happened to the girl after that, I have no idea. I was racing to barely catch my flight, thanks to a substantial delay.

I'm sure there is a legal procedure to enable a person to transport a firearm on their plane flight, but I seriously doubt it includes sending it through the X-ray machine loaded and telling the TSA inspectors "oh, yeah I forgot about that"

It was a joke, but when I had my pawn shop, that was almost the only thing Black customers would ever buy, low price .380s. Those and .22 derringers. They bought those too.

Turns out one of the cute little girls DID have a loaded handgun in her purse. Said she had it for protection from the protests (we were still having minor riots) and that she forgot it was in there. Sooooo naive. She asked the police if they could just hold it for her until she got back. I was like, girl you are going to jail. They took her away in hadcuffs crying.


No they didn’t. I left a loaded gun in my bag at msy in March. Freaked me out because I forgot I put it in there. They questioned me and did a background check through fbi, walked me out to my car, gave it back along with the rounds and magazine. No handcuffs, no scene, said it happens more than I would believe and as long as they don’t believe it is nefarious. You get a fine. Between 3 and 5k. This also happened to a buddy of mine at Houston bush airport. It’s a profit center for them because these tickets are expensive

Don’t spread Misinformation

In the past month or so, I’ve visited Jim’s, Precision, and FRC in the BR area. All had high percentages of black customers. I’m hoping that everyone is waking up to the chaos that our government has been allowing and is doing what they can to ensure they can protect themselves and their family.

IMO legal gun ownership is a precursor to other conservative views, so I view this as a positive.

I can say the black men buying these guns aren’t family men looking to protect what is theirs.

I saw some straight up thugs the other day in a sporting goods store.

We better be prepared because they’re preparing for war.
