Re: .223 / 5.56 ammo for home defense...

There's lots of conflicting information in this thread, and some of it is based on conjecture. Take it with a grain of salt and do some research by trusted sources. And remember the liberal mantra: "You're more likely to have your own gun used against you, so don't have one at all! Just call 91...

Re: Any consignment gun shops worth a damn for SELLING in SE FL?

I don't know if it was a discount or regular price, but Gunshine in Boca just consigned a few guns for a buddy of mine and were either 20 or 15%. Lee's Pawn does it too, but I don't know their current rate.

Bring your sigo and you're into it for nearly $40 to see what, soap, beef jerky a...
