Any reason why i shouldn't just get the RPAL

[Frank@NorthTrail]

I don't really plan on owning any restricteds although that could change.

I remember saying that LOL. Get it and don't look back. Good luck!

Go get it now. Sooner or later, the liberals are going to get back in power, and one thing is for sure....they aren't going to make it any easier to get. I tell everyone the same thing. Get your restricted endorsement now, and buy at least one semi auto handgun with the shortest legal barrel you can find. Ask all the guys out there who don't have the 12(x) endorsements on their pals how much they wish they had known how things were going to go down, and how much they wish they'd acted when they had the chance.

Just to add onto that, buy at least one centernfire revolver, and one 22 as well....again, the shorter the barrel, the better. That should cover you for most of any new "evil gun" crap they might come up with that may have grandfathering involved.

Reasons to get an RPAL

Guns
More guns
Different guns

And it may get harder to acquire in the future.

Ladies and gentlemen, je vous presente the Brevity World Champion for 2015.

Harbl, pay attention! This is how you say more with less.

I know you're already convinced, but I have to add myself to the Do It crowd. You never know when it may come in handy, and for something other than spending money. My dad never had much reason to do it either, until my grandfather got sick and decided to pass all his guns down. Now Granddad's revolver is coming to me for safe keeping while Dad gets the full license he wishes he'd gotten in the first place. Good thing I have my RPAL, or it would be out of the family.

You never know when that zombie apocolypse will happen. And you would kick yourself for not having that colt python

Rick didn't always use the Python, though!

[Weekend Gunslingers]

When I went for mine i just wanted a handgun....so I got the Glock 17 Gen 4.....and an XCR-L...and an M4..and....and...and

Get it!

[TheCenturion]

Just do it. There is literally zero reason not to, and plenty of reasons to.

I have to agree with webster. My grandfather decided to get rid of his guns when he got sick and they came to me while the other members of my family scrambled to get the RPAL.

[Johnny TK]

I say just go for it as I wait patiently for the mail to bring me a surprise of one RPAL.

[sharpsteel]

I went for both. They make you wait long enough to get one. Might as well get both at the same time.

[bradzilla]

Same.. I figured for the extra time, and couple of bucks more.. might as well do the course/application process once... you buy cheap, you buy twice :-) I'd rather have it and never need it, than need and not have it myself. My first thoughts were that I wouldn't have any guns in the house, and only use the ones from the range.... now that my RPAL is finally issued, my thoughts are a changin'...lol...

[road kill]

I would have an RPAL if i was a bit younger, i have possession only for the handguns i own, don't intend to buy any more and certainly won't be buying a rifle i can't take with me when i'm out in the pasture. Well at least not legally. The RPAL is a few more bucks but if club shooting is all you do then go for it as you might want a nice 357 mag or an AR to enjoy.
