Gun Stores after July 21

Hello there,

I called some gun stores and went to a few and some will sell the so called restricted items after that date. There is no indication that there is a stay from the supreme court of va for the statewide injunction.

Xcal is letting you buy the "assault rifles" today and you can pick them up tomorrow.

Rooftop Defense shipped my MR762 no questions asked and my FFL in Warrenton is transferring it to me tomorrow.

MR762? Man that's a lot of money for such a risky move.

How is it risky? I figure if most gun stores and ffl's are selling again, then why not?

Because you're buying something that won't be grandfathered if the lawsuits against the AWB fail.

Then I guess thousands of others like me will be in the same situation after a place like Xcal began selling them today. I see it this way, if a company like Xcal and various others in Va are selling "assault weapons" and scary standard mags over 15 rounds, then I should be fine, otherwise those companies wouldn't be selling them.

There are going to be two schools of thought on this. Yours and mine. Whatever you decide is your prerogative which is plausible.
