and that is how basically, i bought 2 brand new guns, from new gun owners.

my buddy's sister and her husband, got on the "i gotta have a gun for protection" bandwagon during the pandemic.

each only dry fired thier guns maybe all of a half dozen times, and had live ammo on hand as well.

but to them, the novelty of gun ownership wore off real fast.

1) Glock G-19 Gen 3

2) S&W EZ 380

and ammo, i bought it all up, for just under what they paid for all of that.

and yup, not in shoe boxes, but in the closet for sure they were, for several months. and nope...no lessons taken, no real practice with live ammo.

i shot off the ammo, and sold both guns, didn't like the S&W, and the Glock, i already had 3 others, just in the end, didn't want the G-19

the pandemic was good for the LGS's, and buyers of the never used stuff.

With housing, gas, and food costs going through the roof I expect that soon great deals of slightly used guns will abound. With the LGS offering half of what one paid them a year earlier I expect that even more guns will in up on the streets.
