Can you still buy a gun?

[You'll shoot your eye out]

Hey INGO! Long time, no see. I need a new pistol like I need a hole in my head. (he he he, see what I did there?) Still, I am amused by the thought of using .gov stimulus money to support a suffering industry. AKA, buy a new pistol! Now granted I haven't called anybody else because I like to buy from Bradis, but Bradis isn't answering the phone this afternoon. Understand that I'm not exactly married to Bradis, I just hate paying twice to three times the value for a gun, so Bradis it is! SO........ What is the procedure for buying a pistol nowadays? Curbside pick-up? Delivery? What? Just asking.

Here's some info on Bradis: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/gun-shops-class-iii-ranges/479247-bradis-guns.html

and then they updated on facebook to state the following:

The owner of Bradis has made the very difficult decision to close the shop for the entire month of April. This is as diifficult for us as it is for our loyal customers. We are very torn over this decision but at the end of the day we want to do our part to protect employees, customers and the community weve served for 36yrs by not spreading the covid 19 virus. We will open back up for business on May 1st ready to rock n roll!! We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support and look forward to seeing you all on May 1st. Be safe and God bless!!

That said, I'm sure others are open, just need to call around. Might check PSS and some others.

You'll still need to fill out the paperwork if you are purchasing through a dealer, so some interaction (not sure if any shops are doing that curbside, etc) will be required or hit the classifieds, etc.

USDS is also closed. Though if you want something you know they have, I'm sure Chad or Mike might meet you at the shop to make the deal. They are pretty responsive on Facebook.

I would never want to discourage you from buying a new gun, but I wouldn't say the firearms industry is struggling. Sales are through the roof.

I think they're about to have the best 8 months in history from March to November! You heard it here first

Beech Grove Firearms is open limited hours. Not sure on their selection, guns were flying off the shelf. The gun industry ain't suffering right now.
Might check Plainfield Shooting Supply, they are usually as good or better than Bradis on price. Don't know if they are open or not, give them a call.

 

[Tomc1947]

Highsmith's in Greenfield, open normal hours(I think).

 

[KellyinAvon]

Fort Liberty has limited hours M-F open Sat

Parabellum in Avon had several cases full of pistols when I was there a few days ago. I think their hours are 10 to 6 for the moment and only the sales floor is open but I'm hearing that the range may reopen for limited shooters one day next week.

I ordered one online a couple of weeks ago and had it transferred to my LGS. I just made sure to call the store and make sure they were still open and accepting transfers. When I went to pick it up, I went right in the store and did the 4473. Easy Peasy.
