A Henry .22LR lever-action is easily the best gun buy I have made in a long time. So. Much. Fun!

Wife and I have matching Taurus TCP 380s for carry, but I have always been more into revolvers and manually-operated actions than combat tupperware (although those can be fun too). Wouldn't say no to an M4, especially one of the Ruger variants.

If you would get out of that state you wouldn't have to unload the good stuff. Believe it or not there is life elsewhere and in many cases much, much cheaper than NY.:cool:

Doing it semi-voluntarily. Breaking just about even money wise, however they provided some great memories lol. I can buy new ones in a few months or years :).

Mini-14. I like to shoot a lot, not a little. Same reason I drive a Focus- more money for fun and less for fuel.

Hmmmm when I'm out in a free state my list will be a .45, 9mm (ccw), 5.56/.223, 6.8 spc, and a 12 gauge. Nothing too crazy but every gun serves a purpose.

Yep, exactly. I'm in the same boat. 22, 38, 9, 45, 5.56, 6.5 Creed, 375Win (pig/brush gun), 12ga.

If it's the gun you shoot well why not roll with it? From an open carry perspective.
 
I used to carry a full size 1911 inside the waistband up until about a year ago. I'm a left and carried it at about the 7/8 o'clock position. It actually was more comfortable than what most people would think. The slim profile of the weapon really helped.

by full sized .45 i did not mean a 1911.
For a full sized .45 you'd need one hell of a belt. example: sig p320 full sized .45 fully loaded 10+1= 4 pounds just about(just shy)

Ironically enough I can conceal my p220. Granted it's on a outside the waistband holster but it conceals under clothing. It's not something I would prefer (obviously a smalller gun would be best) but I could if I had no other options.

4 pounds? That's 64 ounces. Seems a bit heavy for a polymer framed gun. I haven't checked the actual specs on the P320. But I know my full sized, steel frame Springfield Operator was about 46 ounces loaded.

Again I can, but i don't think anybody should. I can "carry" whatever open carry, but concealing it properly(safely and comfortable for the individual carrying) would most likely not be the case. I almost always use OWB, IWB never did it for me, never got comfortable, just build up a big enough shoulder profile and you can "conceal" anything.

depends on what type of ammo as well as the grip. I have the large grip(comes with medium) and i weighed it the day i went to the range which was shooting FMJ(clearly not carry ammo). which was 230 grain, not 185 HP. My gun weighed in at 52.5, Which in my opinion is way to heavy to properly conceal as a civilian (off duty cop or not).
I think the lightest the full size .45 can go is 41.
 
Go big. Conceal carry a FN 5.7
 
I know the Mini-14 exists, but I want a Garand in 5.56 with the en bloc clip.

All you have to do is find a smith that can make you a custom barrel, bolt, en-bloc clips... Or you can see if you can get ahold of a Garand built for .276 Pedersen. I figure the cost should be about the same. ;)

That's what the Garand rifle was originally designed to use... 10 intermediate power rounds per clip. Army said to redesign it for M2 ball ammo and the rest is history.

so funny story... i was at the range the other day shooting my lee enfield.... was shooting some surplus .303 british, first 10-20 rounds were A-okay. Shot one, lit up(on fire) backdrop of range like gasoline... cease fire and they put it out, range safety officer asked me what i was shooting, tested a round ect. Fiance shot one, same thing--- lit up on fire. Went back to the place i bought the surplus from, he tested all of his .303 brit surplus, one of his sons(who is an idiot) mixed in tracers and inc rounds with the normal ball ammo(which i wanted). needless to say my ammo was free :)
