A Remington 870 12 gauge shotgun wasn't big enough to take squirrel without SERIOUS gunsmith mods to the choke. I needed at least a $500 shotgun, but it would still be cheaper and better than modding the Remington.:eek:

I think you're definitely on the right track for preparing mentally for what could happen. The problem is the variables. I've seen the "mercy" (or lack therof) of some BG's and as a result, I have never backed down, even after losing the upper hand. If there's no one in the house and your safe...

Let's say said car was used in the taking of food like a deer. We'll call that deer time and also said gun was used in taking of deer. How many gun owners have died taking a deer with a gun as opposed to car drivers taking said deer with a car. Depends also on their usage. And to add to...

I think you need 10 domestic parts to be compliant. Do a quick check though to be sure. Also, I've got a slant break on mine. It's not supposed to suppress flash as much as it is to keep the front end from rising during rapid fire. Correct me if I'm wrong gents. Also, you probably want to...

Man that thing looks SHARP. :cool: Thanks for sharing. :D

Hey Thanks a bunch guys! gives me hope I may yet be able to hunt. I usually work about 6 months and take 6 months off and I can really stay anywhere in the country as I'm a full time RVer to boot.:D You've given me a lot of info. Now I'll just have to research where to winter next.

I know you guys are from all over the country and or world, but I see all this hunting going on and I was wondering if it's ALL on public land, hunting leases, off the highway. So if you don't mind, could some of you maybe list: A) What State you're in. B) Public land, Private, Hunting Lease...

Sorry sernv99, I think a law abiding citizens fingerprints are NONE of the Feds business. Plus it seems criminals and politicians are the only ones not obeying the laws. If govt. spent more time minding their affairs and less on us, America probably wouldn't be in the shape we're in. Glad...

Been trying to cut my hunting teeth by baggin squirrels here in central texas. Unfortunately hunting politics and public hunting lands are a JOKE. Maybe I'll get lucky and hit one with my truck. :banghead:

+1 on the paint can. They sound like grenades and I was scared to death of the rattle ball! :what: Wouldn't think of throwing a bullet in the fire. As a kid, I did happen to hit a .22 cartridge with a brick on a dare. My ears still ring when the weather gets cold.:scrutiny: That I can write...

No sweat Judman. Actually I was at Granger today, looking around. The trees are pretty bare. Went to several entry sites including Pecan Grove. Not a squirrel to be seen. Might have heard one though. didn't see enough action to warrant purchasing a shotgun though. Definitely no rifles allowed...

Yeah, can't get behind Mr. Soetoro. In spite of how Illinois (or elsewhere) has a sterling reputation for producing fine, upstanding, law abiding politicians. :what: Just got back from the range in celebration. Thought me and the misses were the only ones celebrating. Glad to hear it fella's.:D

I hope it's not over. sorry if it's an inconvenience for you gun gurus out there, but I happen to be a panic buyer. I felt I had been long neglecting the level of security for my family and the mentality of our outgoing CIC coupled with the track record of our new one coming in rectified that...

Never heard of it... pretty cool. I don't think my cat needs to be packin heat though... and if she was, I'd get her this! :evil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3AafmTB5D0&feature=related

cotton ball :eek: Seriously though. good points all. I think if anything a "non conspicious" (sp?) weapon is TWICE as obvious ( and probably inciriminating). +1 On the flashlights. Another non weapon weapon. I got hit in the head by a Taco Bell Taco doing about 60 mph. thrown out of a...
