Where in SoCal? Lookup the closest Turners, they're all over and they'll answer the questions and walk you through the process of getting the permit. IIRC There's a $1 book you need to buy to study for the test, pass the test, order the gun, wait 10 days, walk out of the store with it. Something like that anyway. GL. I live in Santa Clarita near Magic Mountain. I've never heard of a turner, but I will look it up. Thanks |

What gun site can you use to ccompare gun prices? IN other words, how good of a deal are these guns? I looked on Gunbroker.com (only large gun site I know), and they show many priced at $300+ with a great deal of bidding left. I want a Glock, but the S&W has a great price. So are these a great deal or just warm? I will use the gun for mostly home protection and to the gun range (onc e I find one). I have a Rossi 38 that will certainly do the job, but I want a better gun. For the experts, i have a few questions:
1. Gun safety. I will keep my gun locked up. What does everyone use? I currently have a toolbox with a key lock on it. I was considering getting a small gun cabinet to hold these two pistols. I wouold like it to lock with a combination lock, so that I would not need a key to open it, nor could someone that got the key be able to open it.
2. The gun will be kept at the house for protrection and I may one day get a concealed weapon permit for it as well.
3. I know I need to find a gun dealer, but should I find ine first, work out teh deal, then order it?
4. I am in NC, what do I need tyo do to get this gun? I bought a pistol in NC about 15 years ago and I simply co,pleted a police form, they ran my background, and I got like a couple of certificates issued to me to buy a pipstol wioth. I bouight it from a friend. What all do I need to do now to get one? Thanks |

Yeah, there are Turners stores in the LA area and several indoor firing ranges that rent and sell guns. Look up either one. The book is only $0.75 or something, but taking the test costs something. Then there's the obnoxiously priced FFL fee in SoCal. I looked up FFL people in my area (on GunBroker) and found a guy who would do the transfer for $50 (the lowest price I found in this area). What he didn't tell me up front was that he's a scammer. He won't hand over the gun until you pay him the state sales tax on it. He's in the Torrance area. I'd avoid him. |

I used to use auction arms as well, bought a couple good deals on there over the years. Yu have to remember that gun values are skewed with the current government.

Warm for online deals but hot compared to what a local shop would charge.

#3 Find the dealer who will do the transfer as you'll need them to send their FFL to the dealer you are buying it from. Many dealer will not help you as they feel it takes away from their business. I have done a few transfers for $15-20 so it is possible. #4 The permit system is still in place, or you can also get a CCW permit and that will also take the place of the issued handgun purchase permits. What county are you in? Someone might be able to suggest a transfer dealer plus the gun auction sites usually have search tools to find willing dealers. I'm in Gaston County and can suggest a place in Gaston and Lincoln for a cheap transfer. |
