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..
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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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...
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
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. :)
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)
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...
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...
