closest to Ron Paul - furthest from Fred thompson . Thats pretty close but I'd say I'm furthest from Osama

If you insist on carrying a long gun , I think a 12 gauge pump loaded with slugs is the way to go . I also think a pair of revolvers for both of you is an excellant idea . I'd be willing to bet that after a long hike lugging around a long gun you'll decide not to do it again . just my $.02

Like Ash said , a rifle or shotgun would not be practical . Since you might have to deal with very large animals , I suggest either a Ruger single or double action 44 magnum revolver or Ruger 454 casull / 45 colt . Talk to a couple of gun dealers but be carefull because the guys behind the...

Can you hunt squirells with a 12ga. if you used a very light load ? Would the meat still be good ? If you can , what choke would you use and what load ? Haven't hunted squirrels since I was a kid , using a pellet gun .

Why do more people prefer semi auto handguns over revolvers for ccw or nightstand guns ? Is it just because they hold more ammo ? It seems to me that for the average person a revolver is a better choice - Easier to operate and clean - less can go wrong when ts hits tf .

IMO , If Hillary gets elected there WILL be an AWB . If Obama or Giuliani get elected I think they would try to ban the RKBA . IMO , Romney would keep things as they are now . While he was the Governor of Mass. , he could have banned so called "assault weapons" and/or concealed carry . In...

1. Can't put my shotgun in gun racks in the rear window of my pickup , when going hunting , anymore 2. Can't hang my favorite gun on the wall 3. Can't buy guns just about anywhere - Sears , Walmart , every sporting goods store etc. 4. Can't go and practce shooting at tin cans out in the...

The guy is an idiot . Why did he choose to get into a verbal confrontation with those ignorant creeps . He should have kept his mouth shut and / or just walked away .

I think it's a VERY good idea for her to get a permit to carry . BUT , in that situation I don't think a handgun would have prevented what happened . If I was her I would also get some martial arts / hand to hand combat training . It's been documented that most attacks happen at very close range...

In my state you are not supposed to consume alchohal while ccw. You can go into a bar but you can't drink . I'm 99% sure this guys ccw permit would be revoked if it happened here .

I want to use the same ammo for defence and practice at the range . Because using 357 mag and 38spl. 125 gr. +P jhp is so unpleasant for me to shoot with my 2.25" SP101 , I use 158gr. 38spl. flat nose jsp for practice and carry . I know it's probably not the best defence load but I think its...

I'm not sure what the stuff hitting me is

At the range I go to they only sell sellier & ballot ammo . I'm shooting a 4" Ruger GP100 357 mag. Sometimes I feel some stuff hitting me in the face . Is the stuff hitting me because of the cheap anmmo or is it normal for that to happen with a revolver . Could it be a timing issue ? It's a gun...

Anybody out their own one ? How do you like it ? I'm thinking about getting one for a hiking / trail gun and a target shooting gun . Might even use it for a ccw sometimes if I could find the right kind of holster for it .

Is it ok/legal to use pepper spray on someone who wants to start throwing punches or does it have to be more serious than that . Example : A guy in late his fiftys , in relativly good shape but has bad knees , some arthritis and bursitis , Hasn't been in a fist fight since his 20's , is...
