I didn't own a gun until the MEDIA bashed Wayne Lapierre after he gave a great speech around 5 or six months ago. After that I joined the NRA and made my first purchase before the laws make it almost impossible to get a weapon. Since then I have picked up the 982 for 199.00 and the SD9 (gift) 465.00, joined a gun club and gave up my Gym membership. Don't need to have hugh muscles because they can't stop a bullet. Just look in the back of a lot of pickups and the shot gun hanging in the back window is more than likely a 982. When shit breaks loose I won't need to call 911. It didn't exactly help grandma! She took care of business herself.
