Just saw a video that popped up on my YT algorithm about SB948 and got to thinking about the BARF Militia. As much as I love California (having spent 33 years of my life there, they really love to punish California gun-owners. Background checks for ammo now? What the fuck.
I made it out 2.5 years ago, taking two safes full of guns with me. Ironically one of the main reasons I had for wanting to move out of CA (2A freedom) became a complete non-factor by the time I did move out because I had lost interest in guns and was out of touch with the gun community. After 2016, it seemed like the 2A community shifted hard right and I wasn’t down with it.
On top of that San Jose decided to bulldoze 10th St Range taking away and my own 24-hr “private” range and my nearly 20 years of RSO responsibilities (at 10th and Metcalf). Luckily my buddy had access to the SCCPOA range off Hwy 9 so we were still training dynamically. But by the time I moved I had moved on to other hobbies. There was nothing new or exciting to buy, I built a 300BLK pistol in like 2020 out of boredom but that was the last time I built/bought anything.
Until last December when I bought a can and a new suppressor-ready G19X to go with it (trying to get in front of the Jan 1st rush). Good thing too because I’m still waiting on three Form 1s and two Form 4s (14-20 days waiting now). Finally finished building around a CMMG 5.7 conversion kit I bought 5 years ago and cerakoted it myself. Also picked up a Firstline Kuna for $1050, had to wait 2 months for that one.
Hope y’all are weathering the storms.
