First Full Day Of CHL

WHOA!
the only war that I'm aware of, where our freedom was at stake, was the Revolutionary War. So you fought in that that?

Wow, you are OLLD.. Tell us, how did you live so long? what's your diet like? vegan? paleo? Do you do a lot of HIIT cardio? Or more SS?

and how many people have you killed with your gun?

Suddenly you are very interesting!

 

Gun control also worked in Austrailia

Of course it makes sense that it would work.
What's going to work better if you are trying to lose weight? Keeping cakes and cookies in the house OR not having cakes/cookies so easily accessible?
Americans want a lot,
guns
equal pay for unequal work
free healthcare, yet be able to eat anything and never exercise.

I think americans should be able to do whatever they want, as long as it doesnt affect other americans.

Carrying guns affects us all.

The problem, as stated by Speculant, is if someone tries to take away someones guns, everyone will throw a tantrum. (Just like a baby and the parent takes away the knife/scissors) and then the policiticain, will have committed political suicide and never get office again. This is why a lot of sane/good ideas don't become laws.

 

You know, even with your recent cataract surgery there are still some things you don't seem to see too clearly.

 

If only he would take your hint, Tim.... permanently.

Cheers..

 

No it hasn't mate! I live in Australia and I assure you it didn't do anything except strengthen the criminals. The crims and Bikers are just as well armed as ever. So who DID it effect? Like all Bans it just effects the Law-abiding Citizens, of course.rolleyes Once again no clue as to what you're on about. but you've chosen to ignore me, so you won't get educated. I am going to cry a river, now!!...:cry:-D

 

Quite an offensive post here watchintv, drips of sarcasm! :crapmad:mad

 

Yes, we know. watchntv said something he shouldn't and has been corrected accordingly. I am sure he will not do it again. Lets get this thread back on track please.

 

So, what are you carrying MA? Just on a whim, I am going to guess a wheel gun. :cool

Of course, since it is concealed carry, you don' t have to answer.

 

Interesting MA. For some reason, saw you as a wheel gun man. :-D

Have you seen the DRT bullets? Friend of mine owns an ammo company, and he carries them in his gun, as does my instructor. Supposed to be the new high tech thingy. I carry them in my M&P, it eats anything, the 1911 I want to shoot a few more mags in to make sure it likes them.

That 380 you linked to looks like a great carry gun. I am still kicking myself for selling a Colt 380 Mustang...

 

Ammo fussy, I thought that was spelled 1911? :-D

My friend that has the ammo company only sells JHP, but carries the DRT in his CC gun. Might be something to look into, or not. Reliability trumps technology any day of the week.

 

Well, load up with what works. :cool

 

That looks Microscopic. Double-stacked magazine?

 

You might appreciate one of the prophet JMB's early designs. This one is a .25 vest gun, from the early 1900's. No real front sight, much like the Colt New Agent guns of today, just a grooved channel. I think a similar design as the Seecamp.

Don't carry this one. But surprisingly accurate head shots at 7 yards are no problem.

Colt is a SA trigger, but same basic stuff.

 

Still very much a 100% sword person, but that gun is pretty. Simplistic clean lines and surprisingly pleasant to look at.

 

Those are awesome.

 

I'm truly gratified to see a gun thread in a computer forum. Shows that we "geeks" are real people (well, some of us). And unlike most such threads, it has remained surprisingly civil. Much of the discord has come from those who live in other (repressed) countries and who simply cannot comprehend the freedoms we enjoy (or the concomitant responsibilities pertaining thereto).

Being retired military, a former police officer, a competition shooter, and a firm believer in my responsibility to protect myself and my family, I have owned and carried guns for more than 40 years. I just picked up another carry pistol yesterday (that makes four I own). It's a stainless S&W Airweight .38 Special, my first carry revolver. If it's warm enough today, I'm off the the range to wring it out.

Fortunately, I have never had the occasion to need to defend myself. But that could happen today, or tomorrow. And as the saying goes, "When seconds count, the police are just minutes away."

 

One of these years, I will get myself to a shooting range. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while but every time I try something comes up.

Seeing these threads just makes me want to go even more. Thanks guys

 

If any of you are in the Monroe LA, Dallas TX, or Houston Tx area and want to shoot, let me know. I am in Louisiana, but got peeps in the other two places that I am sure will let you shoot a gun or two.

Also, if you are interested in shooting, some gun ranges offer an introductory shooting class for little or no money.

I am thinking about one of those for carry in hot weather. I have not shot a Seecamp like MA has, but all the really small autos in a decent caliber have a horrible (to me) trigger. Would most likely prefer a SA/DA revolver trigger over them. .38 spl ain't nothing to sneeze at!

 

Around here there are only a few shooting ranges in my area and the cheapest is $75 per lesson (lessons are 4 hours I think) which might be a fair price but I don't know. However, it's still out of my price range at the moment.

 

Well, if you ever come down south, we can get you shooting for a lot less. :-D

Something like this is common where I live. http://www.nssf.org/FirstShots/Seminars/index.cfm

I am going to the Show Me state of MO this spring to try some shotgun skeet shooting. Found another forum with a skeet instructor hosting a weekend shoot. Why not, never been to MO.

 

My friends parents (who are kind of like my parents) keep trying to get me to go down there with them as they still have family in LA. Maybe one day I'll actually go down there with them and then you can help me with shooting up stuff :-D

As for shooting, the only thing I've ever shot was a bb gun, and that was actually quite fun.

 

Well, if you ever make it down here, will let you shoot some guns, and I am sure you have shooting shoes somewhere in your closet. :-D

 

Shooting range? Nah. Look for the guys in blaze orange. They'll probably know of a gun club you can go to. Much better to shoot on an outside range than indoors anyway. Better for your hearing, better lighting.

 

I go to the indoor range at a time when I am almost always the only one there. Got a nice outdoor range at a friend's house as well. Need more ammo. :-D

 

I think these would do? :-D

 

:-D

Actually, open top shoes are not encouraged. Think about hot brass landing on your feet... I had on a T-Shirt on once, and got some hot brass down the shirt. Left a burn mark.

To my credit, I finished my other 2 shots of the drill before doing the hot brass dance. And I can't dance well in good circumstances. :-D

Pair of boots or tennis shoes would be better shooting shoes.

 

I don't know that much about shooting but I do that much I just picked those because they are camo print.... hello :-D

 

Don't want you to burn your feet...

 

Beauty is pain....:-D



or so they say.. I'd rather just be comfortable..but that's frowned upon... oh well LOL

 

Comfortable is the way to go.

Thought you'd like this Fred:cool Glock? Jingle Bells @ 1.53.

 

Nooo! Santa does not own a Glock does he?

:-D:-D

Good video.

 

Didn't realise the video was 3 years old.:-o The webs probably sick of the vid after 3 years:-D

 

This is from 2011, probably the same guy.

how accurate is this link?


So it's no surprise that one of the biggest risk factors for suicide is simply having a gun in the house.
