do you own one?



And, if you ever bought one, what was your experience like with the buying process? don't you have to wait 10 days or something?

Yes, I own 4. I had to pass a federal background check and wait 10 days for each. I also had to take a written test to get a license for the handguns.

Several.
For my long guns I had to file some paperwork at the gun store and have a valid ID on file.

For the pistols its the same deal but a check from the FBI, but once you get a CCW it is much easier.

Four. A .22 rifle and .22 revolver. A 12 gauge and 410 shotgun. It's been months if not years since I've fired one. I used to shoot the .22 rifle a good bit, and have went squirrel hunting with it a few times.

Yes. An AR-15, Mossberg 590A1, Glock 17, Glock 43x, and a Ruger GP100 in .357 Magnum.

I bought the shotgun and rifle years ago, before my state enacted some laws that to my knowledge, did nothing but add a 10 day waiting period so that the "enhanced" background check can run. The pistols I bought after the law was enacted, and each one took 10 days to clear, despite having a conceal carry licence.

Its not hard if you dont have a record.

You need valid ID and able to pass a background check.
I took a 2 day class and then filed for it with the instructor and about 4 months later everything came back clear and i got my cards.

Oh also my friends dad has a FFL so it was super easy to get and there were no waiting periods. Unless you count the time it took from the ordering until it shipped. Then like 48 hours.

I bought mine fully assembled and ceramic coated for 1200 dollars, though many good quality AR's can be had at the $700 to $800 range.

I own a pair Remington .308 rifles for deer hunting, and a .22 pistol and a .22LR for plinking. I do have my CCL but I've never gotten around to buying an actual handgun (the .22 doesn't count).

Buying the .308s was simple. I purchased them online and picked them up the next day at the nearest Cabela's. Just had to provide my ID, signed off on a couple papers, and I was out the door in minutes.

I have 5. 2 of them were bought by my Dad and given to me as gifts. 3 I bought myself. Each one just had a quick background check done (like 5 minutes or so) and then I paid for it and walked away with it. (Arizona and Washington were the states I bought them in)

I have a Ruger revolver. My wife has a S&W handgun. She purchased both (mine was a graduation present but my first choice - we had discussed this heavily) at a large gun show. They have state police on site to conduct background checks. We also certified for CCW through a local range/instructor, then applied for the CCW license through the Court. I actually let my license expire and I'm waiting for it to come back from the court right now.

We almost never conceal carry, but we do like to have them while traveling - the permit makes driving with a concealed weapon much less of a hassle. Our state has reciprocity with most of the ones we'd ever travel through, and when we travel through or to the ones that don't (Maryland, in particular), we just don't carry on those trips.

We are both very well-trained and practiced, though I expect mine would probably suffer a cleaning about now. We expected to teach our children about guns and how to handle them safely - they're not quite at the level of maturity we are hoping to see before we give them more than barest basics, but they do know those. Always assume it's loaded, never touch one without mom or dad, go get an adult you trust right away if you see one.

I own many. Some were inherited; some were purchased by me. All are secured.

No waiting period was required, just a brief background check. Concealed carry is legal without a permit in my state, but I choose not to. I only carry when Im fishing/camping/hiking.

Depends on whether you call a big bore air rifle a gun or not. It's not a firearm as far as the government is concerned, but it most definitely will kill anything you shoot with it.

AR-15 anywhere from $500-3000 depending on the quality/brand name all that shit.

A $500 PSA AR-15 is not a bad rifle though, just not as accurate/durable as a $2000 Daniel Defense or the like.

Yes. Many. I won't disclose what they are though. I've actually posted some on this board before. Never saw the point in getting hyper expensive guns, with proper care, a $180 shotgun will do just as well as a $700 one.

Also, I disagree. Even though they're cheap, my firearms are much better than "military grade." Because they weren't made by the lowest bidder.

Why not? Nobody is gonna shame you for having a cheap gun if thats your worry. The gun people on CE are very welcoming.
