Ramblin Gambler Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 This is the kind of question where I like to count them up and write out a response just for myself. Then I delete it and thank the OP for the question. It made me realize I can only outfit 2 regular cowboy shooters with their own guns. I need more rifles.
Hendo Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Man, I keep hearing them EMF Californians calling my name....

CA does NOT know how many guns I bought... and NEVER will. I don't blame you. Here is what you fill out to buy a box of 44 Specials: ------------------------ Purchaser's Data ------------------------ • Purchaser's First, Middle and Last Name • Alias First, Middle and Last Name • Street Address, City, State, ZIP' • Telephone number • ID Type, ID Number • Gender • Race • Eye Color • Hair Color • Height and Weight • Date of Birth • Place of Birth • U.S. Citizen --------------- Ammo Data --------------- • Eligibility Check DROS Number • Delivery Date/Time • Delivered By: • Make • Condition • Bullet Type • Bullet Weight • Usage Type • Casing • Caliber • Quantity • Primer Type • Muzzle Velocity • Muzzle Energy • Cost/Round I was the 2,381 person to buy ammunition in CA today. So far, CA has collected (at least) $2,381 in background check fees. Today. Those not having a firearm registered at their drivers license address pay a $19 background check fee.
sourdoughjim Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I don't own any "cowboy" cartridge guns. Most of you "cowboy" folks are reliving TV/Hollywood westerns with your cartridge guns and buscadero rigs. When the Civil War ended, many ex-soldiers and ex-slaves went to Texas in the mid-to-latter part of the 1860's-early 1870's where there were lots of wild cattle and no Single Action Army guns. This is what the cowboys might have carried, among other cap and ball revolvers. Regards, Jim
Griff Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Seriously... you don't think cowboy upgraded their equipment as they were able? The "cowboy era" stretched from the end of the CW to well into the turn of the 19th century. Colt & Remington sold a lot of SAs in that period... not all were bought by cowboys, but, there were a LOT of folks that inhabited that era, besides cowboys... same as a lot of today's cowboy action shooters portray folks other than cowboys.
Dawson City Drifter Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 What do you want my weight too?
Roger Rapid Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I think an equally inappropriate, but possibly more accurate question, is: "How many gun safes do you own?" RR PS: I should have added, "...in each room of each building?"
Johnny Rio Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Don't know how many, but I always tell the wife "just one more".
bgavin Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 I just hope after I am gone, my wife doesn't sell 'em for what I said I paid for 'em....
Raylan Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Alas, all my firearms were lost some years ago in a tragic boating accident in Texas. Sadly they were not insured for loss in a boating accident especially a "tragic" boating accident. Happily at least they are still safely stored, in Davey Jones locker.
Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Gee, I have no idea. Since many of mine were acquired before GCA 68, no else does either! Purchasing ammunition in Idaho is difficult. You need cash, a cheque or a credit card.
bgavin Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Down here, I told the sales girl I had a "cash guarantee card." She said, "Oh, we don't take those."

Roger Rapid Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Brandon A Bovine and Chuck Steak... Do you happen to have the latitude and longitude? I've got scuba gear! RR

RR That's what makes it a "tragic" boating accident, happened during an electrical storm, all electronics were knocked out!
