I have the worst Bug Out Bag, therefore need a new one
That’s what the contest should be about 
Those in need. I will have to check out these bags!
Suppressors are great! What a PITA to get one. The paperwork is lehngty with pictures, prints, and getting the designated LEO in your area to sign off on it. You can go the legal trust route but ATF really drags feet processing your paperwork. I wanted to get one because a) they are a lot of fun to shoot and b) home defense. Wearing of hearing protection is not gonna happen in the middle of the night while you are investigating stange noises in your house. If you have never fired a gun in an enclosed space without hearing protection, you are in for a surprise. Noise and a pressure wave will make your ears ring and make you deaf for quite a while.I went the trust route since the Police Chief will not approve any NFA items in my area. My local dealer helped with the forms for free since I purchased the suppressor from him. I stroked a check and mailed everything off via registered mail with return receipt. I recieved the receipt back with a signature I could not read and my check cleared quickly. I thought surely they would not cash a check unless the forms were good to go and the background check was done. Not so much. I also though that maybe it would not take the 4 months I had heard. Maybe I hit a sweet spot with timing. Wrong again. I waited till the 4 month mark and called the ATF NFA Branch. The lady who answered the phone was curt but polite and helpful. It seems they did not even add my forms to the que for 5 weeks after they got them. Well after the check cleared. The 4 to 6 month processing time begins when your request is entered into the system. Oddly enough, 2 weeks later my dealer called with the news my paperwork was back and approved. This process will happen with every NFA item.If you can, see if your dealer will do lay away. Buy all the cans you want at once and pay on them until the paperwork comes back. I wish I had thought of it before I bought my suppressor.
tried to send pictures but they were rejcted from your site?
Please email pictures to kort@silencerco.com
Ken is more polite than I am. Antigunweenie: Why do you need (fillintheblank)??Me: None of your f*cking bssineus. It usually shuts them up. Sometimes, however, i get a more persistent fellow who tells me that it is his right to know since my having (fillintheblank) puts him in danger or some such. I typically don’t go down the path of listing off all of the possessions that he owns that could potentially put ME in danger, although it always seems like a valid argument. I also don’t typically ask him why he thinks that I’d need 30 rounds to put him in danger when I’d only need one, since that seems like a thinly veiled threat. No, I typically ask him why he feels like i am a threat to him. usually the response is that maybe he isn’t threatened by ME, personally, but that other men who own (fillintheblank) may threaten him. This response is as predicatble as it is easy to counter. “Well, if you don’t feel threatened by MY (fillintheblank) then why are you actively trying to lobby to have MY (fillintheblank) taken away from me?” Stuttering typical follows.
More fuel for the Fire: Turns out, according to the FBI’s NICS System that more Firearms were sold in December of this year than any other month in its hiostry. The previous record was in November. And I’m sure that a lot of those Evil Gun Show Loophole weapons went out the door also. So, in spite of a bad economy, rising prices and falling purchasing power available to stagnated income levels for those who have jobs, more Boomsticks are now in the hands of the Peeple than when the Anointed One took office. Guess there is a lot of “Need” that had to be taken care of, huh?Wonder if anyone at 1600 Pennsie Ave. has figured it out yet? Probably not, since it’s full of Sycophants telling the Naked Emperor how cool his new suit is.
I am not going anywhere. I have everything I need here. Water, food, shelter, power, etc. and a 50 yard kill zone around my house.

If I was a manufacturer of something that was flying off the shelves at x dollars what is the most logical thing for me to do? A: Do nothing and have people complaining that I’m not producing enough and eventually have them give up and buy from a competitor. B: Increase production which may mean hiring more people, having them work overtime, paying more for raw materials etc which in turns causes me to raise the sales price in order to keep making a profit.Say I’m a retailer of the previous item and it is flying off the shelves at price x. What is the logical thing for me to do? A: Do nothing and put up with complaining customers who may go somewhere else resulting in lost revenue or at best ticking off my loyal customers but not providing them with the goods they want. B: Raising my sales price (if the manufacturer hasn’t already raised theirs) which will force some buyers out of the market or force them to pay more than they wanted but it still allows anyone, if they are willing and able to pay to get their product. Demand will go down and supply will go up in my store and those that can pay will get the product. The only rational option for the manufacturer or retailer is B. It’s also the best option for the consumer as the price doesn’t matter if nobody has what you want in stock. If the manufacture and the retailer follow option B, though, what you want will be available if you’re able to pay the price.People are always complaining about evil corporations and gouging but rarely do they mention that the free market is a two-way street. Companies are free to charge what they want and are in fact obligated to make as much money as possible. Consumers are free to buy from whomever they want and if they are being gouged or taken advantage of they should cease doing business with those companies and eventually the company will either change its tune or fail. That’s capitalism. Consumers are not entitled to the lowest price on products. There are captive markets all over the place but they still live by supply and demand. I fail to see why you even brought this up.
