What is considered excessive gun purchasing?  In the past month I bought a Sig 226 and then the very next day a Baby Desert Eagle.  I recently saw a rifle that  I wanted to use my tax return to purchase.  Would that be considered an excessive amount of firearms purchases in a short span of time?  And would that raise a red flag?  I know when I took my hand gun safety class something to that effect was mentioned.

Thanks 

I was under the impression that excessive means you appear to be stockpiling weapons. 3 in a week is far from stockpiling, especially considering that I know some people who have bought 3+ in one day.

Right after I finished the handgun safety class I bought 5 guns (3 handgun, 1 rifle, 1 shotgun) in a 5 week span from December 2011-January 2012 and a 6th (rifle) in February. Haven't bought any since. If anyone here is on a watch list, it would be KK.

Whats wrong with stockpiling??

I agree, there's no such thing that I know of.  How much money is stockpiling?  If I make $20,000 in a week is that too much for Big Brother?  What about food?  What if I buy 25 Xbox games, four vehicles, or 100 cans of chipped beef?  lol, I've never heard of a law against stockpiling, and f*** 'em if there is one.

Watch list for "Most handsome buggahs in Hawaii"

I do not know of any law that specifically targets firearms with regards to "hoarding" but there is language in Hawaii law related to the matter. See this previous thread: http://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=895.0

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that one.  Well, I'll reference back to my previous point:

I've never heard of a law against stockpiling, and f*** 'em if there is one.

The government has no business whatsoever telling a citizen how much private property they may acquire, and I reject as inherently invalid any law that says they do.

I too have thought about this, I bought 3 handguns in the span of 2 months.  But I really don't think this is a big problem.

I remember during my pistol training course the trainer said that if you purchased more than 5 in one go then you might be getting a knock on the door, but like most things YMMV.

 

Who would be the
Ones knocking on the door. Just curious...which agency? Local, FBI, ATF?

Good afternoon, officer.  No, you can't come in, we can talk here on the front porch.  Oh, I'm sorry, I won't be making any statements about that.  Am I being detained or am I free to go?

THIS!

I think everyone goes through this stage when they first start, provided that the funds are available.  When i first got into guns, i was buying 2 guns every 2 months.  Sometimes even more frequently.  I bought an LWRC m6a2 and then 3 months later, i bought an lmt piston rifle.  That's almost $4000 on 2 rifles! lol.  But yeah.  After a while, the sting on your wallet will have its effect and then you sorta come to your senses.....unless you're rich of course.  Then who knows when it will end?  Maybe when you have 2 of everything lol

When you run out of space?

When your wife forbids you buying any more?

When you get another hobby?

How you gonna run out of space if you rich?

Why your wife gonna forbid you if you rich?

You wouldn't be rich if you ran out of money!

Why stop buying guns just cause you start another hobby?

I think you may be onto something.

I'm not saying stockpiling is illegal, the question was if it raises a red flag or something to that effect. So what I meant was that if you appear to be stockpiling weapons then it could be a reason for some agency to put you on a watch list and monitor your activities just to make sure you're not plotting anything

It's only excessive if you can't pay for them.
