    If you could have only one handgun, what would you choose?

    I'd love to say a Hi Power or a Colt SAA or a 1911 but since the primary purpose of a handgun for me is concealed carry, I'll go with something smaller and pick a Sig P365. I'm glad this is a just a hypothetical game..

    Carrying... If asked, how do you reply?

    Burn you? Hell, I'm gonna nominate you for the Common Sense Post of the Year award! I don't carry openly or advertise that I'm carrying concealed, but to go out of my way to lie to someone because I print or reveal in some way, really is kind of paranoid. Of course it depends on the...

    Would you buy firearm responsible for a death?

    If it was something I wanted, was in decent condition and was priced right, I wouldn't care of it killed a family of nuns. It isn't like the gun did anything wrong. It is just pieces of metal and maybe plastic. It has not evil will of its own.

    Gun banner to deter would-be intruder?

    Guns are probably our third line of home defense. 1 - 3 big and very territorial/protective dogs. 2 - My 14 year old son (5-11, 180#) is a black belt and I was a step away from black belt when injuries forced me to give up martial arts. 3 - Gun My thought for a banner is: "You want to...

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    Dealer at a gun show to me to me who's trying to sell a very good condition M28 Mosin: I'll give you $75 for it. I've bought 4 just like it already today. Same dealer to my friend who went there later in the day and was looking at a Ishevsk 91/30: These are collectors items. I haven't...

    Concealed means concealed

    I don't make it a habit to frequent places that don't allow firearms, but if I have a need to patronize such a business, my personal safety trumps the business owner's illogical fears. I'll carry wherever it's legal. On the chance that I get outed and they ask me to leave, I'll leave.

    A few pics from today

    By all means, use a sling. Makes a HUGE difference. You won't find a position shooter who doesn't use one for sitting, kneeling and prone.

    How soon do you clean your guns after you shoot?

    I used to be anal. Now I'm just a realist. There was a time when every gun would get a detail strip and thorough cleaning the evening after a range trip. Now they just get a bore snake and a wipedown with an oily rag within a few days of shooting. The interesting thing is, they shoot just...

    Everyone seems to have one

    That's what I figured, but I just couldn't resist. :evil: My Win 94 in .32 Win Spl has a bit of a kick for such a small caliber too, because the gun's so dang light. I use the exact same recoil pad you have on my Mosin Nagant M44. That small gun with the 7.62x54 round is a real shoulder thumper

    SKS. Difference in Yugo and Romanian?

    Don't discount the enjoyment factor of launching tennis balls into orbit with a Yugo, a grenade adapter and some blanks! You'll instantly become the guy that everyone wants to watch. I've met some good people and got to shoot some pretty cool guns because of my tennis ball exploits. :)

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    Anything made by: Jennings Bryco Lorcin Century Other than that, I'm easy.

    Everyone seems to have one

    Calibre44, you have a recoil pad on your 10/22??? :confused: You Brits can't be that wimpy, can you? :D Oh, and several Mosins, 2 SKSs and one 10/22 (with NO recoil pad)

    How do you deal with "the gun guy" at work?

    Most of the people in my immediate workgroup know that I like to shoot. Not too many of the people in my overall department know that about me. I'm not uber-secretive about it but I don't advertise it. There's a guy in my office who has all the makings of a Gecko45 but hasn't yet taken that...

    Is a gun always loaded?

    The whole unyielding argument that "Every Gun is ALWAYS loaded, Period! is really kind of idiotic. Its almost as if people are trying to outdo each other in showing off just how safe they can pretend to be. If I've just checked the gun and verified that it is clear, then TO ME the gun is...
