Wow nice. I wish I could afford it.
Gun control is like stopping drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to drive.

Wonder if there are any prototypes or unknown designs hidden in the walls?

If I buy it, will my wife have to sell her Glock?

Probably have to leave the key in the front door, turned 90 degrees, or it won't stay locked and the knob won't function. I know it sounds dangerous and fool-hearty, but this is how JMB left his house secured the entire time he lived there so it must be right. Otherwise you'd have to open the door each time for it to lock properly.

As an added bonus if you buy it, you can get a Utah CFP without having a Texas CHL first.

Re: For the true 1911 fanatic...
That sure is nice. Hmmm... No garage. Wonder if there's any covered parking attached. I understand it might snow every now and then in that part of the country.
If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my children will have peace.
