Also, Bellum Eternus, you've never posted a thread like this before, have you? I got a massive sense of deja vu reading it...
I've got it too, but more of a feeling that a anti-gun will rush in, make some random comment, and send us into several pages of the usual age old debate until it's locked or everyone sputters out.
Anyways: My AK My British infield
One I don't have pictures of yet M1 carbine Marlin .22 bolt action (Mine came with a scope and wood stock not plastic) And a colt navy Replica

Originally by: Rondo Gunn I am allowed to own one.
However it's been pointed out that I probably shouldn't be.
So wouldn't that make you Rondo Gunnless? |

nah usually this ppl are "patriots" and whit the "support our troops mentality" also they got a place where every year is a big event to shoot your gun in the "ground" i saw one day some video about that but was so strange to me that there was no black/latino/mexicans/chinese/etc ( you know USA is made by emigrants) just white ppl i dont say that only white ppl have guns but only white ppl in so big gun event is strange ....
Oh yeah, that was the national white trailer trash appreciation day 
Confirming that if you see it on the internet, it must be true. Now I'm off to learn how to become part of the ceremonies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob_Creek_Gun_Range http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Knob+Creek&search_type=
can you link me a picture or video that prove my statement wrong
oooooooooooohhhh ok your talking about what we call a 'gun range'(/Dr evil quotation hand gesture), which is a designated safe spot to discharge firearms located far away from populated areas.
The purpose of the 'gun range' is to shoot munitions into targets repeatedly, with the ground being the last object the munition hits. Knobs creek provide excellent hill coverage so the ground can stop the munition after it enters and exits said vehicle.
Now the range is open year long, but what your talking about is a special event that happens about once or twice a year where vendors and enthusiast gather and have a grand ole time. Around where I live we have Blacks creek rd to shoot at and guns shows are held at the fairgrounds about every 3 months.
As for your comments about there being no blacks or mexicans as you obviously think this is a Ku Klux Klan Ho down, there is nothing stating that they are not invited and many do show up each year so you don't have to worry that this is some kind of racist's unite party.
It's downright scary the thoughts that go through peoples heads sometimes after watching a video once on the internet. |

i never understood the need for a hair trigger.
it's my opinion that the need for a hair trigger can be overcome with more practice
i dont like hair triggers either
almost blew my foot off w/ a .38 special, pointed at the ground, hammer pulled back when i was 12(?)
that gun was cursed i swear . . . . . .
A revolvers single action (the hammer is ****ed back) trigger pull is often quite light and crisp. No fault of the gun. accidental discharges, particularly with revolvers are usually due to operator error. Don't cover the trigger with your finger, ever, until the gun is on target, and this won't be an issue.
Kinda off the beaten path but this reminds me off the service pistols the Japanese used in WW2. They were so badly made that should the hammer be ****ed back it had a tendency to slip and fire off a round, even if the weapon was holstered. Many leg wounds were attributed to this fact.
That .38 is a different story though, I just wanted to mention that.

Originally by: Fenderson
is there such a thing as a super quick access gun safe where you could keep something safely stored but still access it in a matter of a few seconds?
While not handy for shotguns, theres this little ditty
Originally by: Fenderson is it perhaps better to just have a small CC type gun that never leaves your side? if so, what do you do when you go somewhere that firearms are not allowed?
For me personally I don't conceal carry at all. The only time my guns leave the house is when I go out target praticing and in this case I open carry my pistol on my hip (no law against that). On the other hand I always have my knife on me which is latched to my pants in plane view. If I go somewhere that has a metal detector I just leave it in the vehicle until I get back.

Originally by: Glarion Garnier The place where I live at we are allowed to own guns. And we actually (as a pupulation have alot of them, but there is very litle related problems). But my point is that if a burglar comes chopping thru my door with an axe, the only thing I'm allowed to do is to say to him to sit down while i call the cops. should the guy use the axe on me and get sentenced for it (man slaughter) he would get about 5-8 years in prison.
while you get the death sentence. Pretty sweet deal eh.

In my state we used to have an "escalation of force" law which basically says that you have to defend yourself with a similar level of force to what your attacker is using. for example, you can pull a gun on someone else with a gun, but if they have a knife and you draw a gun, you could be charged with manslaughter.
the laws are different now, basically going with what's known as the "castle doctrine" which states that if you are in your home and someone comes in with bad intent, you can use whatever force you want.
Oh trust me, I know all about castle doctrine. It varies from state to state and luckily I'm in one of the more relaxed states for stand your ground.

Originally by: Sokratesz What I'm saying is that if you were in that diner, however well prepared and trained, you would have died just the same, it wouldn't have made a difference. Outside you would not have stood a chance with a handgun against an AR, you would probably have to hit him more than once for lack of stopping power.
Oh hai. Having read that article and seeing the amount of time it took to kill the number of people in the cafe, another gun carrier would have more than ample time to shoot back granted he was not the first target. There is also action and reaction time. Say the shooter is at the door and he is focused on a crowd to the right. A concealed gun owner may be among those on the left who are taking fire. Even if the shooter see's another gun being aimed at him he still needs time to react appropriately and re-aim the firearm at the new shooter.
Aside from the cafe there were numerous places where a concealed carry could have saved the lives of many. The parking lot, the toll booths, the buses. It's crazy how large objects can provide cover. Then again we already know that your the type who enjoys cowering in a corner already having resigned your life and just waits for the final moment.
It's funny though isn't it, when a massacre happens abroad people outlaw guns so only outlaws own them, and yet when it happened here we invented the SWAT team. |

The logic behind that is pretty simple, if no-one had a gun, there wouldn't be any incidents, but it appears that both approaches, legislation and prohibition, are failing massively here. How often is it that a 'concealed gun carrier' stops a spree from happening? I remember reading about it during the V-Tech aftermath..once..out of many many cases .
Maybe you're looking in the wrong places

I don't mean home defence where a few poor junkies break in to steal your VCR.
Glad to see that you didn't even bother reading half of those like a true anti-gun who wants to stick to your flawed laws and fantasy belief that someone can wave a wand and make all guns disappear.
Here's another video for you to watch, although I'm concerned because I showed it to another poster and they didn't get it, and I had more faith in him understanding than you, so I'm sure I'll get yet another weak rebuttal in this futile argument. But this video shows what happens when somebody follows your rules and guidelines. Just remember, when guns are outlawed only the outlaws will have guns.

Impressive story but that's texas and that's texas outlaws. Someone breaks into my house here they won't have a gun.
So now we've reverted from stopping mass killings back to home invasion. I wouldn't expect anything less from you. And you go ahead and keep that wishful thinking that you live in a gunless area. I know England keeps that mentality and yet we still see shooting.
Originally by: Sokratesz And those examples you linked are mostly crooks looking for a quick snatch. Not a determined attacker with proper equipment.
Glad to see you didn't even pay attention to the video. I doubt you even watched it seeing how the 'crook' wasn't looking to steal anything, his only goal was to take as many as he could to hell with him.
You just go on and enjoy having Daddy and the state watch your back, and I'll watch mine. |

****ing cut it will you. That comment was not directed towards the video but towards that earlier link of gun incidents.
I'll cut it when you pull your head out of your ass and realize that every gun law, all the law enforcement in the world, and statistics go right out the door when fate has you walk in a door on a burglar who actually is armed in that one in a million chance and none of the things above will save you at the moment.
Everybody says it will never happen to me. Well, sometimes it does buddy boy.

Originally by: TraininVain You can also look at the UK gun crime stats and how they've gone up since the ban.
Obviously there's other stuff at play, but still.
There's also Brazil with very strict gun laws and a higher death rate than the US. |
