Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock . . .

glock-26.gifThat’s the sound of the ridiculous 10-day California waiting-period clock when you purchase a firearm. Background checks are practically instantaneous these days and the database for determining the suitability of a gun purchaser is virtually available twenty-four/seven.

Knowing that it takes far less than ten days to get this information can only mean that the ultra-liberal California nanny-state legislature is targeting the legitimate firearms enthusiast with a punitive delay harassment. I’m sure the underground firearms trade in the state have no such rules. Who is actually getting punished? Law-abiding gun purchasers and dealers! What a bunch of crap!

OK – there now that I’ve got that off my chest, I’m pleased to report that there are now less than the original 864,000 waiting period ticks left until I take possession of my newly-purchased (but yet to be acquired) Glock 26 9mm subcompact pistol. Ever since Damsel got her pocket-sized shooter, I’ve had a hankering for a little pistol. Last week, we took one of these for a test drive and liked it, so today we made the deal and started the wait. Click on the thumbnail above for a larger view of this neat little gun.
