Same here - most of my firearms are not very valuable (monetarily) , but the thought of them in someone else's inept, greasy, thieving hands gives me the urge to vomit. I had someone steal the first firearm I ever owned - a Savage Model 64G, along with a Stevens Model 87A, a O.L. Mossberg and...

+1 I always bring my M44 with me to the range, and if there are rude or unsafe shooters (who are usually, IME, inexperienced and/or stupid enough not not wear hearing protection), I will let off shots until they leave (usually before I have to reload). :D Nothing like watching a bunch of...

When it comes to Mexico, nothing surprises me. The entire country is corrupt, and most of the time I fail to see the difference between the drug cartels, the warlords, and the politicians. I just wish that they would stick to killing each other (which I see as beneficial) as opposed to...

Yep, Gander has terrible service, and most times, a terrible selection. On the other hand, I drove to Wal-Mart the other day (running late and in a hurry to get to an area that the locals shoot at) only to find that they had NO 20 ga buckshot... None - not even in the back. No #2, #3, nothing...

Cause there's more greed in the world than money. :)

Oh, but didn't you know?! Even buying a gun means you intend to commit mass murder!!!!! :rolleyes: :banghead:

I sincerely hope that they are headed in the right direction. I too marvel over the whole "human rights compliant" thing. Any and all criminals give up any and all rights once they violate yours by illegally entering your dwelling without permission; that includes their right to life.

I might also add that in some states, if you are a convicted felon (as stated above - no offense, just a legal term) it may even be illegal for there to be firearms in your home, regardless of whether you yourself touch them or not. Aside from that, if your wife buys them, you are walking a very...

Well, if you don't want no hassle, then you do want some hassle. :neener: Sorry, couldn't resist. General is right. It's legal, it is your right - but don't expect every cop or hoplophobic citizen to know that. Chances are, someday someone may call the cops on you, and that cop may or may not...

Currently in the U.K. you could not own the AK-47, or (I believe) ANY center-fire revolver or semi-auto handgun. If you used so much as single shot shotgun for defense, you would most likely face charges. I'm no expert on these things, but this is the information that I have come across. ETA-...

As unfortunate as that scenario is, I still wouldn't want the muzzle of that "empty" gun to point at my face when he asks for a magazine. For the sake of safety, NO gun should ever be considered unloaded until you, yourself, have verified otherwise. Smarty-pants. :D Even if someone else...

:evil: Hey OP, maybe while you're there you can show these "gangsters" how to aim: maybe then they'd hit each other for once, instead of some kid four blocks over.

+1 And if you aren't big on college kids, nosy librarians, lonely middle-aged people, and loud children vying for internet time, you could always keep the receipt and return it after you've read it. It might not exactly be honest, but let's face it: neither are most "authors". Nor is the price...

ArfinGreebly +1 I could not agree more.

His post actually says that he has hunted with the 22 mag since he was young: he does not say what he has hunted - he only adds (as a depiction of it's capability [learned by him from experience]) that it can cleanly kill deer with a headshot. I will give him the benefit of the doubt here...

Good luck, but these threads generally don't last too long. :D

You carry it as a CCW? Do you wipe it down with oil every night/every other night? Often times sweat can cause rust in carry pieces that are otherwise well taken care of. How do you carry?

Jeez, calm down. You're the one disparaging everyone's "HD POS pump guns". Quit being a hypocrite, and step away from the keyboard: you're getting angry, whilst everyone is trying to have a civil discussion. :rolleyes: Believe it or not, some people (oh, us poor peasants) actually have rigorous...

snob n. One who tends to patronize, rebuff, or ignore people regarded as social inferiors. I don't really see how there are snobs on both sides of this argument. I'm not sure I know someone with a Hi-Point (or any cheaper firearm) who looks down on someone with a Kimber or an HK. There are...

You do not have a single iota of a clue as to the goals of the subject of the OP's post. A successful teacher does not mock a student's choice in equipment. Some things are difficult to learn, and if you give up on a student at the first sign of trouble (or "ascertain whether the student has the...
