Frequently Asked Questions

What drives price increases in the firearms market?

Price increases are often driven by political rhetoric, discussions of potential bans, and external crises like lockdowns, which trigger panic buying. This increased demand coupled with potential supply chain issues leads to significant price fluctuations and scarcity for items like ammunition and magazines. Historical events like the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban demonstrate this effect.

How should one approach buying ammunition strategically?

A strategic approach involves setting personal price thresholds for common calibers like 9mm and 5.56. Instead of buying during panic, acquire ammunition when prices are relatively low and stable, treating it as a passive, long-term preparedness activity. This avoids overpaying during peak demand.

What is the recommended minimum number of magazines for concealed carry?

For a primary concealed carry firearm, it is strongly recommended to own a minimum of 10 magazines. This ensures you have sufficient ammunition readily available for various scenarios, especially during times when acquiring new magazines might become difficult or more expensive.

How did the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban affect the market?

The 1994 Assault Weapons Ban led to increased prices, reduced availability of certain firearms and high-capacity magazines, and the implementation of markings like 'Law Enforcement Use Only' on magazines. This historical event serves as a key reference point for understanding the market's reaction to legislative threats.
