    How do you see yourself employing a rifle?

    What was the question again ? .... I keep an AR15 in order to shoot things. Hopefully it won't be people. Never been to a carbine class , unless you count basic training and MP school.

    Re-Thinking Home Defense

    If I get home invaded I won't be racking the slide on my shotguns. They live in the safe. There will be a small 'click' as I thumb the safety off my 1911 , loaded with boring old fashioned 230 grain ball. If some social event makes me think I need to have more firepower than my .45 at hand...

    Tommy gun in WWII

    Yes JimK , It's a semi auto. Still cool enough for me to want . I also live in Ma. far as I know they are a No No under our restrictive AG's Approved List , thus making it pre-94 grandfathered , and one of few in this unfriendly to shooters State.

    Sexually insecure Dirty Harrys...

    I use my AR-15 and Sporterized AK-47 to put holes in pieces of paper with a big sand bank behind them. Same for my handguns. I didn't know my NRA membership entitled me to hand grenades... But this guy does actually have something to fear from "us" ... in the event that he and his actually...

    Colorado, New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina

    I am all for erasing gun laws. All bad. But I'd leave NH out out it. If you have a concealed pistol permit where you live you can have a NH one for 20 bucks , zero hassle , 5 day turnaround in the mail , and open carry without one anyway. They pretty much mean it when they say Live free...

    too much magazine capacity?

    A carry gun is loaded , period. If an auto with a full mag is too heavy then the gun is too big - whether you are too small or too uncomfortable. Either get stronger or get a smaller gun. Some people think a two shot derringer is enough , some like a hammerless 5 shot snubbie , some like guns...

    .44 Magnum +P

    The top strap on the 29 is rather delicate , Rugers are much beefier. It's a trade off between elegance and brawn. I wonder if my Winchester 1894 would enjoy this ammo ?
