I got Rick03A3 to hook up with two friends and me a few weeks back, his interests in guns are different than mine, we spread them all in the back of a truck and fired whatever we wanted.. Now I have experience with a .357 sig and 10mm I would not have had, he liked my Beretta .40 and .44 mag. But we didn't trade. No problem. But we did get to handle, load, and shoot guns we had not tried before. FTF deals with a handle, function, and maybe even shoot before you buy with open options going in and out are much better, Then there is no C&R/FFL transfer, records, and you get to meet other local gun people. My horror story was with a flintlock. walked out of the gun storre after dropping $325 for gun and accessories. I sold the damn thing a two weeks later for $75. If I had ever tried one I would not have bought it.
