I'm also in Ohio (in Stark County near the Summit County border) and would like to try my hand at hunting. Thanks for being willing to teach new hunters, 1911 Guy. I might send you a PM. I just wanted to let you know in advance as a courtesy. If we do go hunting, you can keep the meat, if...

I wrote last week to my US Representative, one US Senator (the other one agrees with Obama on guns, and has a wife who writes anti-gun pieces for a major newspaper in my state), the governor and my state senator and representative. I got responses from my US Representative and US Senator fairly...

I was thinking of a gun powder mess with having to clean the gun and all. All my biodegradable pellets disappear into the grass and I never see them again. I guess I should have said not as much mess.

Yeah, if you played pitcher in Little League and have some baseballs around, those could be used as weapons. :D

I'd say run away or hide, but if you have to fight, there are a few options. If you had a crossbow and there was only one attacker, that could be an option. Maybe a Louisville Slugger, golf club, hammer (my family has a big mallet for driving tent stakes) or hatchet if you didn't have a...

That's true about full auto airsoft. It's also much cheaper than shooting a real gun, with no mess to clean up. (well, not as MUCH mess) I just got an airsoft replica AK-47 AEG and shooting full auto is really enjoyable. I knock down all the pop cans in semi-auto and then switch to full auto...

I'm Mike from Ohio. I used to lurk here a lot a few years ago, but developed other interests. I don't own any firearms but do own some air guns.

Another thing to be careful of are the tacticool air guns. I've seen a ton of the Crosman M4-177 rifles at stores that are just a Crosman 760 pellet/BB rifle dressed up to look like an M4. The 760 costs $35-40 while the M4 costs at least $70.

I have a Daisy 822 (.22 multipump) that I got for Christmas when I was 14. I don't remember the last time I shot it. I bought a Crosman 1077 last spring. It's a .177 12-shot rifle. It's OK, I wish I would have known about breakbarrels before I bought it, but wanted a repeating pellet gun...

I just bought a 1377. I've only shot a couple of pellets, 4 of them at 5 pumps and they have no problem punching through a pop can. I shot my first pellet at 3 pumps (what Crosman considers the minimum amount of pumps) and it barely dented the can, like the way my airsofts do it. To the OP...
