I must say I have not sent them a letter stating I grow, lol. But I do have a medical grow license. Which Barnett do you have? The favorite I have right now is a Ten Points Phantom CLS.
Mines nothing fancy. Just a predator. Shoots pretty damn good though. I gotta grab a new pull string and bolts for it. Been years since I shot it

Gun lover here!
But I am in Portugal and here you can have forearms if you are rich to pay for certifications, certefied safes and ensurances.
I have a nice airgun collection, and a nice knife collection, both folders as fixed blades.
One of my favourite is 1911, it is a classic and appart politics I canât understand the replacement for beretta.
Cheers

My last 2. Bought the Canik, absolutely WONDERFUL pistol, race ready, accurate as hell, and very comfortable to shoot.
And my hand built 600 meter tack driver, 24â Free Floated Bull Barrel, adjustable length, cheekrest buttstock, adjustable gas block, H3 buffer and springâ, muzzle brake, and Nikon scope. Heavy beast, Very east to shoot, almost no recoil, under 1â MOA at 450 yards, loud as hell for a 5.56 NATO. Last time we were out at the range, the local LEO Long Range team was there shooting, and they kept turning their head every time I cracked off a round. After about 35 rounds, they finally came over and asked about it because it was so loud, asked to shoot it, and the 3 that fired it, fell in love with it.
Itâs just 1 of 4 hand built ARâs in my collection, also have 3 other purpose built uppers, from close quarters to mid range, and long range, 14â, 16â and 20â barrels.

Hope all goes good for you North of the border and youâre able to actually get a firearm.
If available, for the price, the Canik that I posted is well worth the money. I got mine when they 1st hit the market and paid $499, now that theyâve taken off, SFX Models I think they are like $699, but still worth it as itâs a very well built, competition ready pistol that is very easy to shoot. My brother has an SF model with shorter barrel, and itâs just as nice to shoot.

Sounds like youâve got some smexy guns! Iâm just getting into it, but hope to learn a lot and be safe doing it. We have tons of restrictionsâŠTONS!!! Iâm gonna try and hoard as many as I canâŠlol.
Crazy how expensive these things are. My grandpa was telling me he would buy rifles for $40 and give them a French polish and some bluing (or something) and sell them for triple what he paid.
Love seeing other peoples toys!!

These are just 2 of 15 in my collection. My Sig is my everyday carry pistol, that I really really like.
My suggestion is before you settle on buying one, if you can get to a range and try a few different models, find one thatâs comfortable to you. Iâve seen people buy a pistol then get rid of it quickly because it doesnât feel comfortable to shoot. Range time and practice is everything when it comes to being proficient with firearms.
Hope you make it through all the red tape and actually able to purchase one!!!

Recently replaced the Gen 3 with the Gen 5 G22 .40. This pic was taken immediately after purchase.
Now I have a âWe The Peopleâ holster for it. Iâm waiting for my laser and my trijicon night sights to arrive and thatâll be all I do to it.
The ammunition I use is Hornady Critical Duty hollow points.

This is 100% the thing my friend whoâs a small ex-military guy whoâs bounced a lot told me, heâs also a third degree black belt in ninjutsu. Talk nice, flashlight ready, one hand on the arm close to you if youâre guiding them out so you can feel them tense up to swing or pull. Or, maintain distance and have the light ready at waist level to shine up into their face as you move around them as they lunge or into their swing, trip or kick the knee as you come around the side and push down on their behind as you come behind, face plant.
When he worked with a crew he was the guy who led people out because heâs small and friendly and he showed me his trick which was to pull someone alongside him and wrap his right arm over their left forearm and back under the wrist to grip it from the inside/underside. His left hand on top of their left, if he felt them start to pull or tense to swing their right hook, press your left hand down very hard hyperextending the wrist joint down over your right hand firmly gripping the wrist. Apparently itâs a nerve pinch that makes it impossible to keep swinging the right, everyone instinctively clutches their other hand in against their torso in pain. Super useful when I was a doorman with a limited security crew and a few other times, and as a night shift worker a powerful LED flashlight or small camera flash got me out of a few hairy situations without violence.

My self-defense carry is generally one big knife on my dominant side, one small knife or box cutter on my non-dominant side, and an all-steel pen as backup stabby in the same pocket, along with a cheap and powerful 18650 flashlight (Convoy S2+ with a 6-chip driver and Nichia 218B single emitter with an orange peel reflector and AR glass with a glow ring spacer- $25 from Simon at ConvoyStore on AliExpress) with the UI setup to go to turbo on the first press. Or sometimes I have a bicycle headlight instead, set to turn on to fast flash mode, I used to carry small hot shoe camera flashes with a test button before LED flashlights got so good.
The big knife is usually either that Spyderco Para 2 with a custom titanium deep carry clip off Etsy Ukraine, or one of these:
Most commonly one of the first two thumb flippers
Land 913: perfect Chinese knockoff of a Chris Reeve Sebenza, sized in between the small and large, great Swedish stainless (12C28N), great knife, little heavy but rock solid frame lock, everyone needs this:
CJRB Mini Feldspar: just a gorgeous knife and a great blade shape and grind, stonewash D2 is pretty rust resistant and the point is very strong, love the raw jade G10 and the deep clip is excellent, quality liner lock and finishing on the handle slabs, quite light!:
(upload://zr9GjbIwJ6DXVMOn480uZ5eNzML.jpeg)
Or one of these less often:
EAI/Kershaw Bareknuckle 20CV: American-made, stripped-down, supersteel version of their cult classic Natrix, so light and so long for a knife that disappears flatly into a pocket. My choice for discreet carry in flat black and the good deep carry clip:
SK Blades/Buck Custom Shop âSmoke Jumperâ- Buck 110 Lightweight Hunter in Bos CPM-154 (my favorite steel along with 14C28N, I like fine grains): Just the most maxed-out plastic knife you can get, your Dadâs 110 but from the modern era, nobody does a heat treat like Bos:
CRKT/Ruger Windage: Designed by Ken Onion, this is a big boy, 4.5â of blade or more and about six ounces. Itâll pull your belt down but itâs also smooth and fast as hell, and that big flat grind with the centered tip is useful for work or defense. Crappy 8Cr steel but itâs easy enough to sharpen:
If Iâm carrying a belt knife, itâs my Manly Knives Drugar in CPM-154 from Bulgaria in a custom leather sheath, orange handle both because I donât like losing my tools and also because I carry a belt knife to let people know that I have a knife when I meet randos alone in the woods. Itâs normal enough here that it doesnât put anyone off and I like the politeness, like my friend who open carries his compact 9mm+ P365 or Shield M2.0 when he hikes. The full flat grind on very thick stock makes a strong but delicate main woods knife for me, a guy who doesnât believe in batoning wood with a knife, I carry a Fiskars hatchet like an intelligent human being.
If I am doing dumb shit with a knife, itâs with my Terava Jaakaripuuko 110, best sheath EVER, the knife is kinda clunky, too thick for the grind, Iâm going to convert it to FFG one of these days:
Or with my Knifeware Workr, a fucking slab of AUS-8 from Seki, Japan thats been flat ground and convex edged for strength (RIP Ken Warner):

I have a tactical pen so I can write violent poetry.
I do actually have the pen though and itâs kind of neat.
