I have a question, or rather a scenario to propose and I'd like some objective views but please temper them with the following unavoidable truths about where I live and the restrictions:
Firstly, I can only buy a new gun if I sell an existing one as I can't afford a 600EUR safe.
Secondly, I carry a revolver as there is a condition 3 carry rule on semi autos.
So, my idea is to get a second .22 that my daughter could shoot. The local shop has a tiny Savage Scout single shop in .22LR. That would give my daughters something to shoot and would up my legal ammo stock limit, although this recently went up to 4000 per rifle, so not a deal breaker.
To buy that I'd have to sell one gun. Which? Probably my Astra snub EDC.
That would mean no EDC as my only other pistol is Redhawk in .44 or an SP-01.
So I'd then have to sell the SP to make way for a compact like the Rami, or Steyr sub compact in 9mm to be both race gun in IPSC and EDC.
This would have the benefit of getting pretty good with my EDC, but I'd be limited to condition 3 carry....
So, live with just shooting an air rifle with my daughters or forge ahead and accept the restrictions?
Because, I am torn...
