    Probably Nevada or Montana if I were to guess. I know the state I am in is pretty gun friendly. The problem is convincing the girlfriend to let me drop $5k for a 0.50 rifle.

      just out of curiosity, how are you leaving your guns in your cars? aren't you worried about it getting stolen? here's it's a crime to leave your gun in a non secure environment (which is why mine is in a secure location at home when i'm not shooting it)

          I don't know if you noticed this John, but you live in Texas. I would expect this kind of thing to be normal.

            What you are aiming for, Barret? In New Jersey you need a gun permit for a slingshot (no joke – it’s a law).

              I am actually looking at the Barrett M98B 338 Lapua. But when I recently picked up my 12ga, the store had a Bushmaster 50 there for the same price. Here I need a permit for supressors and automatics. Getting a permit involves getting the county Sheriff's approval (which involves a few checks into your background) and paying your $200 lisence fee for each item. CCW is a seperate permit that isn't nearly as hard to get.

                    Of the nine people in our section, me and one other guy had guns. At the new job, I'd say it's closer to 50% have guns.

                    That few, in Texas? You mean have guns or bring them in their car? My old office probably had a 50% gun ownership rate, but they were headquartered in Iowa, my office before that had a few very animate gun owners (my boss's boss kept a stack of blank FOID applications on his desk, FOIDS are required to buy guns or ammo in IL).

                      What state are you in? A few weeks back my brother had the chance to buy an AR-30 in 338 for under $1k, but didn't. I didn't have the cash either.

                          Wisconsin. The info I have is from the the owner of a gunstore where I would get my firearms in a relaxed area of the state, so it might not be 100% accurate. I haven't purchased either of the afore mentioned items requiring a permit.

                              I haven't, but I used to live less than an hour away in Kenosha. We would go to a different range to shoot since some of my friends didn't have any of their own and it rented guns if you purchased their ammo.

                                  California, Illinois, New jersey, New York. Arizona is a constitutional carry, and I think it's the most gun-friendly state.

                                    It takes less that 10 minutes to break into your garden variety gun safe, too. Unless you've got a built-in concrete-encased carbon fiber and lead-lined vault with a two-ton blast door, you can't rely on it.

                                      Yeah - the ATF even GIVES them guns. No background check or anything.

                                        California, Illinois, New jersey, New York. Arizona is a constitutional carry, and I think it's the most gun-friendly state.

                                          I didn't ask if you knew what they were, I just said you don't know what they are like, the culture and stigma of guns here.
