I agree with all except the trade deal. What have we gained in the firearms realm ever?  I can't think of anything.  Just more restrictions.  Trades aren't in their playbook.  It's always take.  I may be wrong, but you will have to show me where that has worked.

I dunno.  A G23 ?  Cause I like them.  I'd want to carry it.  It would come with 3 mags. I'd have a better chance of finding ammo later down the road.

Because I don't like being the only person without a gun..

Seriously. I love my family.  And not just them, I am wired to help others.
