More high caliber info
JayG continues his series on ammunition by looking at shot shells.
Feedback Bleg
Help me out, gunnies. I’m going to be flying with my guns for the first time. I’ve read the TSA regs and know the rules and all of that. I’m transporting my M&P and a J-Frame. I’d like to make sure that they don’t get stolen. I’ve got two competing strategies:
1) Get a small case like this and go incognito. Nothing screaming “gun” or even “something valuable.” Can be placed in regular checked luggage. Downside: easier to conceal if you wanted to walk off with it.
2) Go with a larger locking Pelican case, checked by itself as a standalone “bag”. Bigger, difficult to hide, better security. Downside: Advertises “something valuable” if nothing else.
What do you think, Internet? If you travel with your guns, I’d love to get some feedback.
Becoming a gunnie
Breda blogs about her dreams…and realizes she now, offically, is a gunnie.
I remember when I realized I was a gunnie. It was the day I switched from “why would you carry gun” to “why wouldn’t you carry a gun?”..the day that carrying became unremarkable…the day that I felt uncomfortable about not having a carry gun with me.
Welcome to the club, Breda.
Adding a link…
I’m adding a link to the Carolina Shooters Forum in the “Gun Culture” section…I’ve been lurking over there for a bit. It’s a great resource for local shooters.
Flame-bait
Oh my…Marko manages to offend most of the internet. Cue fanboys in three…two…one…
Metal prices falling…ammo prices to follow?
The UK Telegraph has an article about the falling price of metals in the wake of the current economic issues. The skyrockting of ammo prices over the last year and a half or so were blamed on A) Fuel prices and B) cost of components. Oil is below $50 a barrell. Copper and lead are down 60%.
Now where is my cheap ammo?
Do your part!
