Just carry a .45. All the big boys are doing it! I dont see a problem with the .40, if you can fire the weapon well and practice with it regularly it will do just fine. Not like any of the rounds discussed are going to bounce off gents.

25 pmags. In case of zombies.

Reports I've read say that he was dressed in his "assault" gear went in and bought a ticket to the film, and actually went inside the theater. This was not seen as odd due to folks dressing up as heros and villans and so on at these events. While inside, he propped the emergency door open...

Great choice. In that caliber they come in at 24", right? Nipping the tip wont hurt. Folks do it all the time. I've recently heard that Kimber has some serious QC issues. I was thinking of a Kimber Montana in .338 Win mag, but have since reconsidered and am going with another manufacturer. For...

I'd agree with all the folks telling you to go a bit lighter to start with, also agree that it should probably be the .308. Give Savage or Ruger a look.

Yes. And no. What caliber?

+1 on that.

Oh boy, here we go. Just went through this here myself, ended up settling on that .338 you mentioned. One fella brought up the 9.3x62, that was interesting and I still may pick one up, but .338 win mag seemed the most sensible. My decision was based on elk, moose, and brown bears. What you plan...

Buy this rifle sir.

Perhaps not dude! But I'd not want to explain it in a graveyard either. Guess its all about application. I'd rather be in prison and my children alive than them (gulp) you know, and me free. You make a solid point, to be sure. This argument will outlive us, bro.

Go with the RRA. They make a solid rifle (so do some others mentioned above), but if its the one you've your eye on, do it. You certainly wont be let down. I have been through several ARs, most perform about the same, given they are similar models. Don't even own one anymore, not that they are...

I would say no to the laser, and agree with a red dot. I had the same experience as another poster here, buying a red dot and lamenting the cost. As indicated, once sighted and actually used, its worth is obvious. As far as a laser being a deterrent in itself, well, no. I am sure it helps if...

I'd defer to those who own and use one. Best info you can get. Did I mention the '06?

Go for it. But dont trade that 522 for it!

+1 on what 68wj said.
