    I just moved from CA, and yeah CCW adds a lot (if you even live somewhere you can realistically get one). $1k for a Glock is crazy town, man. Even at the beginning of covid they weren’t that much.

      Nah, for sure. I believe it was about $500 originally, but after shipping, taxes, background check, other fees, etc… about 1k. Half the price was paperwork. That was about 8 years ago? I’m not sure if the gen3 became more available. I know the shield is pretty cheap.

      I hope you enjoy your move!

        Thanks! Moved for family reasons, and very much miss California. It’s not without benefits though, at least when it comes to firearms. I can mail order ammo without any kind of license, and I can 3d print my own guns if I so choose. Nice that this state also recognizes my CA CCW.
