Desert Eagle

I was in Cabela's in Reno the other day last week and saw a beautiful one for sale!

It was in the pre-owned case, offered at $1,395. (Is that a good price?) Or would it be better to wait awhile? Isn't it probable that a decent one is likely to fetch a good price in good times or bad?

Now I am no expert, but know a weapon like that is WAAAY too much for me to handle (it'd be my first gun purchase) but I was thinking of getting one as a way to diversify my "investment portfolio" - but as an investment that would be solid, and easy to sell, maybe even at a profit if/when the US dollar tanks....which I believe is a real possibility; more money is being printed by the Government like crazy!

I was told at Cabela's that purchasing this weapon in Nevada would present big trouble for me as a resident of California and a big and possibly insurmountable problem, because the Desert Eagle is subject to the California "Three Drop Rule".

So I went home without it.

It certainly would be nice if there was UNIFORMITY in all the State and federal laws regarding weapons purchases....I would think; though I am admittedly really ignorant about this...
