Should I or should I not get a C&R license? Looking for the pros and cons past the direct access to some fun stuff. Any nasty surprises that accompany carrying a C&R?

A lighter checkbook and a full safe.

You will spend 10x as much money at Brownells and MidwayUSA and dismiss the costs because you saved 15-30% off every order.

That's the biggest arguement against getting the C&R. Am looking at the cost/benefit equation here. Easier access to the kinda stuff I like vs issuing an open invitation to more helpful and reasonable bureaucrats to come visit me. Whaddya suppose the likelihood is that the f troop decides to start paying closer attention to the C&Rs vs the full FFL holders?

Pretty damn high...

As soon as they get all of our Homeland Defence Rifle's, then the Lib's will start sending their goons after those that can just order a " Late Model Sniper Rifle" through the mail and have it go right to their door.

This is what I have found so far with my C&R:
You can buy C&R guns from "good guys" (like Marys Pistols) for about the same cost as getting one from a "wholesaler" (AIM Surplus) including shipping.

The C&R pickings are getting mighty slim, most of the nice stuff has already gone cheap, and most people are selling at a little under market value.

If you buy a few times a year from Brownells the discount is worth the money spent on a C&R.
