National Buy a Gun Day is next Sunday. Can you feel the excitement?<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it seems that the BAG website no longer exists. Also unfortunately, April 15th falls on a Sunday: while that’s good for taxes, it limits your gun-buying options.<\/p>\n
As for the first, that doesn’t mean you can’t still observe BAG Day. Indeed, I encourage you: if you’ve been thinking about picking up a modern sporting rifle, or a Marlin 60<\/a>, or pretty much anything else firearms related, this is the time to pull the trigger.<\/p>\n As for the second, since there’s no central authority, I’ll go ahead and say: anything you purchase this week counts for BAG Day. I’ll even extend this out to Tuesday of next week, since I’m a little behind putting this up.<\/p>\n What about your humble blogger? What am I getting for BAG Day?<\/p>\n Well…actually…I may end up setting a poor example. My initial BAG Day thoughts were to hold off on purchasing an actual gun, and instead put money into a few things I’ve been needing for my existing guns:<\/p>\n At least, that was where my thoughts were going. Then Mike the Musicologist and I happened to be someplace on Sunday, and both of us had our attention drawn to two (separate) items. In my case, what I found seems to be a pretty good deal (and I may trade off some other items I’ve accumulated), but I didn’t want to pull the trigger then. If it’s still there next weekend, it might follow me home, as it pushes a few buttons.<\/p>\n (If that doesn’t pan out, I’ll probably proceed with my original plan, and I might pick up one of those $250 Bodyguards from CDNN<\/a>. I kind of want something I can easily slip into the pocket of my shorts for summer, or a suitcoat\/dress pants pocket for meetings of what Lawrence<\/a> refers to as my shadowy criminal cabal.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" National Buy a Gun Day is next Sunday.
