Gun Thread: All Hunkered Down Edition [Weasel]Howdy, Campers! We're closing out Week One of the Great Hunkering Down, and heading in to Week Two. How have you been? Are you staying busy, or do you have cabin fever? Let's discuss guns and how things are going in the age of the Chinese Flu, shall we? This couple is woefully unprepared from a tolet paper, guns and ammo perspective, aren't they? They seem to have soup and canned beans covered, though! Buying Ammo I really, really hope none of you are in the predicament of being caught by surprise by this. If you were, now is probably not the time to try and buy a truckload to make up for it. However, now is a good time to take an inventory of what you have and concentrate on defensive rounds first and bulk or practice rounds second, if at all. At some point things will eventually return to normal and you can start to re-stock. But what to do for range time until then? If you're low on practice rounds or cannot make it to the range for one reason or another, you still have some options. Practicing at Home Here's a short video on the classic "penny drill" which I'm sure you are all familiar with. And still more dry fire drills are discussed at the Bigfoot Gunbelts and Locked Back Training websites. Take a look at these and incorporate some or all of them into your day. It is worthwhile practice in addition to range time and especially worthwhile if you aren't able to go shooting at the range. I have to admit that early on I was at best skeptical of dry-firing as a training tool, but have since become a big believer. Have you ever noticed how smoothly and fluidly an experienced shooter draws, presents and re-holsters their weapon? It's the result of countless hours of practice, much of which is dry-firing. Practice, practice. practice. Then practice some more. Are you going to the range? How are you practicing? Are you doing the same drills or have you had to adjust to the circumstances? Gun Sales I wonder how many previously anti-2nd Amendment or otherwise gun-ambivalent people have recently decided to become radical and crazed gun owners? I haven't been to a brick and mortar store lately, but I have noticed many of the websites I frequent for both new and used firearms do not appear to have a lot to offer. What are you all seeing at your local gun shop? Is your local gun shop and range open? If it's open, have you seen an uptick in business? Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste And who do you think this is going to affect? Street thugs or people who might otherwise become responsible and law abiding gun owners? How about where you are? Any new restrictions in place? Still Bored? Virginia Share Your Smartness How About You? I hope you are all doing as well as possible under the circumstances. Hang in there! NoVaMoMe 2020!!Sad, sad people who missed the registration window Did you hesitate to sign up for the NoVaMoMe 2020? Did you ignore the frequent reminders to register? Did you think there would always be time to sign up later? Welp, if that's the case then I have some bad news... we've reached capacity and registration is now closed. For those who may still be interested we are starting a wait list in case there are any cancellations (HA!). To list your name, email us at NoVaMoMe2020 at gee mail dot com, beg for bluebell's forgiveness, and we'll put you on the list. Link-O-Rama I'm really very seriously not kidding around anymore. Buy Ammo This week we have a great tactical cover solution using readily available materials from our pal redc1c4. Please note the new and improved gmail account morongunthread at gmail dot com. An informal Gun Thread archive can be found HERE. If you have a question you would like to ask Gun Thread Staff offline, just send us a note and we'll do our best to answer.

If you would like to remain completely anonymous, just say so. Lurkers are always welcome! That's it for this week - have you been to the range? | Recent Comments
