Trying to do my share of handgun selling.

Could it be that most of the people that wanted one had eight years of the Klintons threatening to get rid of the evil weapons to motivate them to buy theirs then?
Hitlery was national salesperson of the year a couple of times. There may be both market saturation and a lack of interest in buying due to increasing laws and restrictions on legal ownership. Or maybe more firearms owners have voted with their feet and moved out of Kalifornia. |

Man, I would like to help, but I don't really need anything right now. I did my buying spree in 1999-2000, so at this point I don't really need anything. I guess I could start looking at 1911's, but I don't really need another .45 ACP. But I guess this is not an issue of need, is it?

Paul, I read that the handgun market in Kalifornistan is saturated, most people who wanted a handgun bought a handgun during klintons rule.
I for one would buy a handgun...just not in Kalifornistan! |

If you do wait until 2003 to buy a handgun, well, you know....
I hate to do it (not really), but I'm probably gonna keep my FFL guy pretty busy this year. |

Crap, I was going to buy a bunch this year cause of the upcoming liscensing bill, but spent all my money on this damned surround sound system. Now I might get a HDTV to go with it. Wife wants to buy a vacation house so that is cutting into things as well. (i.e. would need to be sneak purchases) And there is that damn M1A that keeps taunting me.
The other problem is there is little else I want. Maybe a ruger .22/45 or a buckmark and a Ruger Vaquero. Maybe a .357 as well. But I've been realizing that I don't shoot 90% of the guns I have and I probably won't use the new ones very much either. And I need to upgrade this damned computer. Damn these priorities other than guns. What's lotto up to now? |

Now if you were going to twist my arm here, I will admit that I don't own a 1911 or any kind of revolver.
Perhaps a Kimber or a Wilson followed by a Taurus .22 revolver so I can shoot those little Colibri (sp) things? Or maybe a snubnose .357 mag? That might be fun to shoot. However, I hate to dip into my .50 BMG fund for another handgun. |

Can't.
After reading the "Guns That Don't Float My Boat" thread, I realized that there were few available that I don't already own, aren't produced by traitors (Smith, Ruger), aren't junk and/or hazardous to fire (Jennings, etc.), too expensive/poor value, or ones I can't operate or hold comfortably. Sorry. |

Quoted: This is California Department of Justice Data on the number of handgun sales in California. Year Handgun Sales 2001 123,259* YTD (January 1 through October 31 = 123,259) 2000 201,865 (January 1 through October 31 = 147,326) 1999 244,569 (January 1 through October 31 = 189,907) 1998 189,481 (January 1 through October 31 = 154,823) 1997 204,409 (January 1 through October 31 = 167,938) 1996 215,804 1995 254,626 1994 382,085 1993 433,822 1992 382,122 1991 329,133 The Rodney King Riots erupted on April 29, 1992. As you can see from the data shown above, the Riot was most likely the determining factor in producing a whopping 31.8% increase in [i]legally[/i] reported handgun sales from 1991 through 1993. It appears Californians respond reactively to social unrest by arming themselves. Given the fact the population demographics are changing in California at least as rapidly as anywhere else in North America, future social unrest is inevitable. So too are increases in handgun sales. Stay tuned. |

Pardon my ignorance (I don't live in CA), I must've missed it - what happens in 2003? Has the Caliban proclaimed that all guns will turn into pumpkins by decree? (They seem to think they can legislate functional electric vehicles, so why not?)

I'll be happy to do my part as soon as I become gainfully employed again.
I traded a sweet lil' Govt. Model .380 in on my Bushie AK Shorty, and then I traded my SA milspec for a 92fs that I had to have. I'm too lazy to do a search, but I'm sure Utah has a gain overall each year. |

In 2003 in PRK, you will have to get a license to buy a handgun (fingerprinted and take a test).

Well, speaking for myself, I haven't bought very many handguns over the years. I've been busy buying long guns. I read that long gun sales were up in 1998-1999 due to then-impending SB23 and that might account for the dip in handgun sales during the same time period.
This is the year to buy handguns and mark my words, handgun sales in California will be up this year. I'm already off to a good start. Got a HS2000 for Christmas and traded two revolvers for a Glock 19. Can't DROS the Glock until 30 days from the date the HS2000 was DROSed though. [V] |

Did my part, bought a 70 series Colt (private party transfer, - only way to get it here as it's not on the CA DOJ [i]approved[/i]list. Also a USP40C. Just saw that HK P7M8s are on the approved list, will have to get one of these soon, anyone have one for sale [;)]

1) .38 S&W K38
2) Ballister Moina .45 3) Star Model B 9mm 4) CZ-52 All in January, and my wife bought me a S&W .44 629 in December. Everyone can afford a CZ-52, $145 including shipping. |

Most of the guns that I want are not on the PRK approved list. Last year I was a little strapped for cash, so I did not so any "impulse" buying. I think the economy may play a factor as well. If my stocks had not taken a hit, I might have had a few extra bucks to spend on guns. Other RKBA folks I know were also keeping their cash in their wallet.

I've been looking at a Glock but why buy a hi-cap handgun when you have to limit the magazines to 10? I did put away plenty of rifle magazines years ago and, like seeds, the sprouted rifles to match them.
(Great argument with the wife too - gee honey, I've got $200 worth of magazines for this rifle and no rifle to match. They are on sale this week at the gun store [;)]) Might get a .44 magnum revolver. |

will you need to be fingerprinted for every gun or just the license to carry in PRK in 2003?

I believe you have to give them a thumbprint to get the license so you can buy handguns. I don't think it applies to long guns. This has nothing to do with CCW.
