Heh:
I’d give it a shot, if I had the budget.
Won’t need it this weekend, though. Tomorrow, I’ll be out at Gander Mountain in Lakeville for the semiannual “US Concealed Carry Association” open house event. I’ll be talking with a slew of special guests, and catching you all up on the things gun-owning Real Americans have to watch out for and work against.
The highlight, of course, is tons of free shooting; go to a vendor table, give ’em your driver’s license, wait in line for a firing station, and you can test-fire just about any gun back in the vendor area. Last year I test-shot samples from H&K, SIG, Smith and Wesson, Taurus, Ruger, CZ, Springfield and others. This year? Well, just stop on by. It’s always an adventure.
1-3PM tomorrow at Gander in Lakeville!
Text a few million friends about it.
I share your appreciation for the Raven .25.
Aside from having a somewhat fragile firing pin (which is subject to breakage from dry-firing) they are quite reliable. Their low melting point relegated them to “Saturday Night Special” (a legal term based on a racial slur) status. Their low cost further lent to their bad reputation because their affordability made them too easy to obtain by criminals (a group not known for legal firearms purchases).
Apparently the working poor, a group which has a definite need for defensive firearms, do not deserve their Second Amendment rights unless they are willing to pay a high price for them.
Obvious question: Why do the anti-gunners hate the working poor?
I honestly do hold the Raven in high regard. I’ve owned a couple and would grab another if the price was right. However, I’ve recently seen them priced in the $175 range at gun shows. Too rich for my blood. Another great show … thanks
