May I respectfully suggest that a .22 is a deadly weapon? Despite the deluge of BS to the contrary. I can't wait to read the excuses they come up with on the 1911 forum...:rolleyes: But I also have not seen any report yet of the number of wounded, only killed. He could have wounded far more...

Personally, I prefer just a romantic dinner, but to each his own. :cool:

+1 to ChrisVV. Everyone should also join Gun Owners of America. The NRA has a history of compromising on our rights. GOA absolutely does not compromise for anything. The best illustration is given a choice between Obama and McCain the NRA backs McCain, while GOA gives them both a grade of F, and...

ASM826 is correct, and quite apart from that, the US constitution obliges every state in this in this union to give full faith and credit to the "public acts" of other states. (Article 4, section 1) Because of that passage, every state is required to recognize my VA driver's license, birth...

I was going to insert a crack here about how they get the holes in the donuts....but no cop could make that shot inside 50 rounds. :D

Any middle-aged American male of typical weight, and carrying a .22 pocket pistol is both heavy and armed. :) For a scrawny European (assuming they could carry weapons) I think it would take multiple full-size 1911s and shotguns to meet the same criteria. But then he'd probably collapse under...

Exactly. If that had been a .45 instead of a wimpy 12 gauge :p, you would have seen the mushroom cloud for miles. :D

I'm curious -- have you ever, I mean ever, said anything on here that was correct? Or even used correct punctuation? § 18.2-308... E. The following persons shall be deemed disqualified from obtaining a permit: ... 9. An individual who has been convicted of a violation of § 18.2-266...

I've never been pulled over, but if I were, I would not inform unless in a state where it's required. Think of it like this: in what other situation do you inform people you have a concealed weapon? You don't, because that's usually taken as a threat. There is no real way to courteously say "Oh...

Six-Shot SP 101? Is this a mistake on your part or is there really such a thing as a 6-shot SP 101 in .357? :eek: I ask because the lack of a sixth round is the only thing that keeps me purchasing this fine weapon (For the increased size and heft I feel I should get 6.) :cool:

I don't know about single sixes but if it has a transfer bar safety, it should be safe. The way a transfer bar safety works is that the trigger must be pulled and held completely to the rear. You don't de-cock a revolver by pulling the trigger and holding it to the rear -- that raises the...

Pinkeymingeo, I gotta ask about the .45 Colt, what's that model called? Those are some sweet guns.

Here, I mean "big bore" to be greater than .38/.357 caliber. I saw some Taurus snubs on Gunbroker a while back chambered in .44 special and .45 colt. 2-inch, 5-shot. The 45. colt was ported. I can't remember the model number, I wanna say 450 or 550. Now those looked like some serious...

I like the XDs better. Better feel in the hand and also has the grip safety. But I bought a Glock instead. Why? If anything on the Glock breaks you buy the part and fix it. If anything on the XD breaks you have to send it back to the factory. Springfield's selfish refusal to make available...

The more guns you have the better.
