For my April 15th "Buy a Gun to Spite Michael Moore" day, I purchased a slightly used, Taurus ultra light, snub nose .38 special, like this one. Unfortunately, I have to wait until Monday to actually take possession of the firearm, due to Fairfax County's ludicrous 72-hour waiting period law that dates back to the 60s. <sarcasm>I'm sure the waiting period all but eliminates crime in Fairfax.</sarcasm> I can tell you this much, it does put an end to the purchases I'll be making in Fairfax county.

This is the second handgun I've purchased in the past 30 days, but since my last purchase was in my former residence of Ohio, I shouldn't be bothered too much by Virginia's hideous 'one handgun a month' law. So far, I'm not too impressed with the bureaucracy I've encountered since moving back to Virginia.

I had wanted a .357 revolver of about the same size, (because it also shoots .38 special), but they didn't have any. Besides, this used .38 was a pretty decent deal, and I don't have a whole lot of money to throw around right now.

Well, I did my part to support the cause. What about you?
