fallout mike says: Now if you are really serious a steel door in a steel frame with a access control 1200# mag lock or striker. They will not open that door. They don't need too open that door. Unless you have absolutely no windows in your home. If you have no windows (really???), then a...

txcookie, I really do appreciate your desire to buy American. And the lever action world is a decent place to do that. I have a question for you tho. Do they still have the B-47 on a pedistal at the main gate of LRAFB? I haven't been there for many years but lived there for several, starting...

If you have an SKS and you enjoy hunting with it then good on you. It isn't the ultimate, it isn't even somewhat ideal (to most folks). But good, go out, shoot it, hunt with it, glad to have you in the fold. The current innexpensive bolt guns (may) be a lot better low cost choice for most...

Well sure we do. I live in AZ as well, but nowhere close to the big city. I've got a slick little Timberwolf carbine in .44 mag and it's really handy. Otherwise I think a decent .44/.357 mag lever would be happy. Or anything else that fits your bill. Sometimes I have an old M-1 in the truck...

It's not really .357 vs. .45, it's .357 + .45. Or even .357 "or" .45. Either will do a very, very decent job of protecting the family. Take your pick. Having both is even mo better. You're not gonna pick any two more effective calibers in the real world. The 9mm/.380/.38 spc cats will...

A lot of "better than nothing" responses. Better than nothing is far, far from an even semi effective solution. I know three men who've been shot with .22's. One at long range and not really applicable. But two that were shot relatively well (?), center of mass, both non criminal, innocent good...

That right there says it all. If it's your cup of tea then good on you, if it's not then there are a whole lotta choices. Variety, as they say, IS the spice. If it's your buddy's choice then good shooting to him. Lot's of great response here, buy what makes you happy and shoot it with...

I shoot a lot of 158 gr. XTP's, with enough Unique to drive them about 1170 fps. Out of a 2 1/2" Colt. J

I know several people who've bought the turn-in M10's w/4" barrel and they are all very happy with them. Like several people have said, they are dirt cheap plus old S&W quality. J

Evidently the only person arguing here is you? I'm having a discussion. People can and will disagree with you, that doesn't immediatly turn the conversation into a petty argument. Unless your skin is really that thin. Feel free to dispute any opinion I've posted, I'm all grown up and can take...

Well you get your opinion and I get mine. Help me out here, what do you consider "petty argument" about suggesting that a firearm cannot be excluded (or included) from consideration for any individual without knowing some specific information about the person? Since you quoted part of my post...

I agree with you there Retired USNchief. It can be clear cut, maybe not. Either way the OP "appears" to be not caring if it's clear or not. Just wanting to do his fun stuff and pick berries on somebody's property. I don't agree with that. J

retiredusnavychief says: "But as someone else pointed out, in places like western states, a huge percentage of the land may actually be public and not private". So..........what does that mean? You get to stroll thru my property? No. I'm surrounded by fed land. On purpose and it took some...

I'm a tiny bit of a land owner. I'm not in any way "high and mighty", just the opposite. A lot of hard work went into buying my little acerage of ground, in a beautifull spot (to us at least), backed by federal BLM land. We've got a decent little shooting range out back. We're just poor, dumb...

Helping "Mom" choose a gun is a pretty important process. It should be specifically tailored to her preferences, physical abilities, willingness to practice and budget. All of those factors can change as the years roll by. That would be my take. J

Right, and when your generalization covers roughly half of the humans on earth it's almost gauranteed to be inaccurate in my opinion. If you're talking about "new to shooting" women (or men), who are looking for advise at that gun counter you mention, then off course a full size .357 isn't a...

So you think that a L frame Smith is just tooooo much gun for what 48-52% of the world population? My wife, (who's toted a 4" 586 no dash since the '80's) and my three daughters would really get a laugh out of that. Poor little weak things that they are running L & N frames, 12 ga w/buckshot...

Quite a few people do, the second gun is usually, in my small circle, very small tho. J

In my little rural part of the world, about 15 mile as the crow flies from my shack, is a big metal building in the middle of nowhere with a very nice machine shop inside. They pulled out of CA about 20 years ago and make propane powered full auto movie guns of almost every sort. They have...
