Frequently Asked Questions

How does Cody from The Arms Room acquire firearms for his collection?

Cody primarily uses online marketplaces like Armslist to find unique or undervalued firearms. He also acquires items through his shop when people bring in collections, often from inherited estates. He advises caution with online purchases, especially regarding potential scams and misrepresentations.

What are the key differences between Armslist and GunBroker for firearm purchases?

Armslist is often better for finding deals from individuals unaware of their firearm's value, while GunBroker is an auction platform where sellers are typically more informed. This means GunBroker can have higher prices and a greater risk of misrepresentation if buyers aren't diligent in inspecting listings.

What are the firearm laws like in Hawaii, according to Cody?

Hawaii has very strict firearm laws. All firearms must be registered with the police department. Obtaining a handgun permit involves a lengthy process, including a concealed carry class, making it significantly more challenging than in many other states.

What advice does Cody give for traveling with a concealed firearm?

For travelers, Cody strongly recommends using the USCCA's travel map. This resource is updated frequently and provides crucial information on state reciprocity and specific laws, helping CCW permit holders navigate legal carry across different jurisdictions.

What are common causes of handgun malfunctions like stovepiping?

According to Cody, common causes for handgun malfunctions such as stovepiping include a firearm that is not clean, using substandard ammunition, or an improper grip on the firearm. Addressing these three areas often resolves the issue.
