Because the P-07 is still too hefty to keep on my person when I’m dressed in athletic gear for the gym.

My FFL was only able to get three of these from Ruger (arrived last week), and this is the last one. Can’t wait to give it a shakedown tomorrow after work. ^_^

(Because everyone keeps asking, no, the timing of this purchase was not motivated by tomorrow’s election. That’s always silly, because regardless of who is elected tomorrow, it would have no change in any policy until January at the earliest, and even then, unlikely. Just really wanted to pick this one up before my trip in December is all.)

Looks pretty sweet! What does it shoot, 9 mm?

As jealous as I am of access to guns in the States, I do like the fact the people generally can’t carry here.

Why do you need a gun at the gym? Honest question.

That’s what I was thinking. Odds are, the other guy is gonna be unarmed and probably just a dude-bro who over-juiced that day.

I was wondering... How do you do jumping jacks when you’re strapped?

I’m assuming “for the gym” means “going to and from the gym.”

You’ve never wanted to shoot a dudebro?

Are you a spy? You’re not very good you know, you’re online all the time.

I prefer to be armed whenever I can be, legally. But there is also truth in what our friends have posited: I may spend several hours dressed for the gym, running about town on errands and such before I actually GET to the gym.

Real men carry .45 Single action revolvers ! I’ll say that it is a bit impractical to carry unless you’ve got a jacket and a shoulder holster. Cool though.

It’s only a .380. Most pocket nines tend to be just a little large still for good pocket concealability. On top of that, I tend to be insanely particular about things that others tend to not care about: almost all reasonably priced pocket nines tend to be striker-fired, and I prefer a hammer.

While I am grateful for the ability to protect those around me from harm, I would (much like our driver’s licencing here) be all in favor of stricter access and licencing of anything that isn’t a shotgun. And I would happily jump through all the hoops necessary for both a driver’s licence and a carry licence if that were indeed the case.

Of course not! Were I spy, I’m pretty sure I’d be obligated to only use Walthers.

But REAL real men only carry Desert Eagles chambered in .50AE. And REAL REAL real men only shoot .460 Smith and Wesson...and their children may shoot .454 Casull from the same revolver until they reach puberty.

You make a good point. Packing heat might make them rerack the weights.

Really real men that are really real(myself included) just carry a Mark 7 16/50 with them at all times, preferably with the Mark 8 Superheavy shell. Pretty great stopping power at 24 miles. But they would considering the fact that they’re putting 2400 lbs of HE down range at 2700 FPS.

I’m not spy, but I do carry a PPS in 9.

i’m not a spy, but take a wild guess what made me choose a stainless PPK.

Last night, I had no other option but to go to Wal-Mart for something quick, in and out dash. Of course, everything went hella wrong especially at the 2 registers open. Holy cheese balls by the time I got out, which felt like a flippin eternity, I pretty much loathed all of the Earth. I was filled with hate towards humans. Why does Wal-Mart do that on me? I can’t imagine someone with a real anger issue having to deal with that place while armed legally or not. Honestly at one point but only for a split second, I wish I had a gun to fire in the air and tell everyone to fucking hurry up and stop using credit cards that obviously don’t have any money in them! And for Pete’s sake, control your evil demon children, FUCK!

Situation not really related, but I know way too many dudes that have real anger issues that have their concealed license. I’m looking at 3 of them right now. Talking very loudly the same broken  record over and over “Obama” this and “[insert minority]” that! Lol :]

UPDATE: To quote one of them, “it’s going to be World War 3 if that old bitch wins. Might as well start learning Muslim and dress like fags”

Lol holy hell, I literally can’t even today. Let’s just do our shitty job today please :’(

Walmart makes me feel that way without even setting foot in one! Walmart is like the biggest, fastest coal rolling brodozer in the race to the bottom. No one wins but the Waltons and China.

Yeah... work... Until a few weeks ago we had a guy who was full on OBAWMA TAKIN MUH GUNS DAMN MEXICANS NI****S! I don’t miss him.

WWIII, yeah, I’ve heard enough people talk like that to worry a bit. Especially since those militia bastards got off up in Oregon. Not a cool time.

Work, yeah... ugh

lol right? They are all collectively going to a local Outdoor hunting type store today and tomorrow to get as much ammo as they can now over ordering it online because “if that old bitch wins, they’re going to run out before it’s too late” According to one of these fossils here, the shop ordered 800+ AR15's from this one particular brand as pre-paid orders.

I would disagree with that. I have no problem jumping through hoops as long as I can own what I would like, I would be in favor of a more robust training program. But, there should be more required training for all firearms; I can do a lot more damage with my 12 gauge than I can with my 9mm.

Ugh, I believe it. After Obama got elected the last time, I was at a party (a kid party, no less!) and overheard a guy saying “My wife said if you don’t come home with ARs you’re on the couch!”. Better stock up on guns before the black dude takes office! There was a dude down at my local pub the other night, a car guy I like and talk to there almost every weekend, who was complaining about California wanting to enact a 10-day waiting period for guns and ammo instead of the current 3. Why the fuck does that matter? You have big plans for it? No one is taking your guns, the second Amendment isn’t going anywhere, calm the hell down. What I find funny/not funny is that the real outspoken gun nut folks tend to be the crazy “defend the Constitution” folks who mouth off about it being set in stone, the Founding Fathers’ (oh, you mean slave owning white people?) intentions, and all that, but conveniently forget what the fuck an Amendment is.

100% real obvious facts that some how are confused on both sides. The 2nd isn’t going anywhere. Mini UPDATE, as i’m typing this, one dude is like, “I’m glad I got my case (ammo) already on order because who knows what will happen if she gets elected. With all this Black Live Matter stuff, you never know. We just got to be ready, especially once she instates Martial law”

I basically don’t have a tongue at the moment from how much I’ve bit it in respect to this older gentleman.
