    Well I recently got my conceal carry, so i went out gun shopping. Didn't buy anything but my roommate picked up an ar-15. a few days later, I went to go get one, and they were out of stock, but I ended up with a shotgun. Remington 870, 12 gauge. But unfortunately, since I had to much fun as a kid, I get put on a wait list.


    So in the mean time, i was telling a guy at work about it, and he started crabin because hes trying to sell some shotguns, so I tell him to bring in his SKB, 12guage, pump. He wants 100$ for it, SOLD. pretty nice gun. I've been out trap shooting with it already.

    A few weeks go by, I come in and this little gem is sitting on my desk. Same guy that I bought the shotgun from gave it to me. Grecado Model 11, .25 cal. Can't pass up a free gun. So i went to go get some ammo and see what the deal was with the 870. Walked out with some ammo and the 870.

    Still looking for a handgun. I was thinking about a glock 19. Also where can I get some cheap surplus ammo?

    I just purchased my first glock(.45). I own a lot of guns but finally decided to try my hand at a glock. I rented a couple different ones at a local range and they all shot reasonable. Its mainly going to be a hunting side arm for me. Something I shouldn't have to worry about jamming up or getting dirty.

    Cheap surplus ammo =

    I just bought some ammo from freedom muntions because jack ross is on back order...freedom and jack ross are my go to for ammo.

    I was going to ask what the hell the point of getting the conceal carry permit was if you bought a shotgun, but then I scrolled down and saw the other ones, lol. Neevvvverrrmind. I have been practicing shooting with a Smith & Wesson 9mm at the range, I'm a fan of that gun... especially for $250.

    Gun show. Used obviously, some of the black on it has rubbed off but that is going to be fixed.

    I recommend Sportsman's Guide for ammo (www.sportsmansguide.com). Great prices, and fast shipping. No complaints with them thus far.

    I frequent gun shows, and have bought quite a few knives and a few guns from them. Great way to get good deals, as long as you know what you're buying. Also, shop around on www.gunbroker.com. I have bought through there for years.

    Guns are addictive as hell. It definitely is a bug. I now have 9 guns IIRC (at the hospital now and have a lack of sleep). For concealed carry, I love Rugers ultralight handguns (LCP and LCR). I own one of both.

    I like the title of this thread. "I've got the gun bug".

    As americans, I thought the gun bug was a permanent thing or genetic; kind of like being assholes to the rest of the world. :D

    Not all of us share all of our gun buggedness just like not all of us are assholes to the rest of the world.
