I want this.

I'm not a gun nut or anything, but I do plan on owning one or two at some point. These are just beautiful.





From Top to bottom: Sig Sauer P-250, Colt Python 357 Magnum

 

guns are a good, good thing to own. regardless what certain hippies, hardcore democrats, or other idealists might state about guns.. there very well may be a time in your life when another human IS trying to kill or harm you. personally I would rather end that with a few pops than attempt to rely on some government agency to come save me

 

reality is that owning one, don't ask me how or why, but it IS a simple statistical fact that it is, that a person who owns a gun is more likely to die of gun violence then one who does not.

as for bitching about 'hippies', a friendly place of hippies to hang out was why this place was in the first place created. those who have a problem with that, really and truly do NOT belong here at all.

 

I heard that, and I'm generally anti-voilence (ay least in ideology if I don't live up to it all the time) But in this world, who the fuck knows what's gonna happen next. I want to be prepared if shit really goes as bad as I think it might.

 

Yeah, I don't like the idea of guns, but I love playing call of duty. It would be nice to have one hidden just in case I know what you mean.
My friend has had a couple different shotguns that he showed me, I think one of them was stolen from a cop lol. Yeah I would like to shoot a gun sometime though for the experience.

 

My dad sent me to NRA gun training when i was a teen, before he took me out shooting. I advise some kind of training before handling firearms, or at least read the handbook that comes with the gun.

But common sense is needed too sometimes. The first time i shot a high power rifle i got a black eye because i put my eye too close to the scope.
I wasn't prepared for the recoil, and the guy whose gun it was didn't think to make sure i was handling it right.

Then one time i let a friend shoot my semi auto pistol. I didn't notice he was using two hands, and the slide took a good chunk of flesh off his thumb knuckle.

I was out with a friend who had a .22 semi auto fifle one day. I was standing to his right when he fired it and a cartridge went sideways into the reciever. The bolt hit the rimfire cartridge firing the bullet inches fom my head!

 

What the fuck is this all about. Please take your conversation somewhere else. This is not the place!

 

bitching about hippies? chill out, jesus. I simply stated that certain people who identify as hippies are anti-gun. which is obvious from some of the posts following that statement. I also said that regardless of idealistic beliefs like that, you may have to either defend yourself or die at some point in your life.

obviously some of you haven't had to live in a close proximity of hard drug users, gang members, and other individuals capable of unprovoked violence. I on the other hand, have.

 

who made you the forum administrator?

 

I would like to own a gun, at some point. Haven't gotten into specific models, as yet.

Edit: Glocks are the most beautiful I've seen, live.

 

shooting is fun.

 

Cherea, if you like glocks check out the HK P30. it's the most well balanced gun I have ever handled

 

dave went out and bought some kinda S&W .22 rifle looking thing. i don't know what it is, but it looks cool and learning to handle it will be fun.

 

Yes, I've heard of HKs. I'm sure I'll look into them when the time comes.

 

I have one more kinda funny story. I got a mak 90 rifle from a guy real cheap.
I took it to the shooting range and set up a target on the wood frame they provide.

I had a 30 round clip in it, and stood between the benches shooting from the hip.
I was having a real good time watching the whole target and frame get cut to pieces.

Then i set the gun down and saw the guy next to me on my right, removing all my spent shells from his hat and shirt pocket etc.

I didn't think about where the empty shells were going as i fired it. lol
He was cool about it tho.

 

i don't imagine there's a whole lotta getting pissed off and super angry at a shooting range.

 

lol. Also, everyone else was like carefully sighting-in their stuff, and taking aim at their targets etc. I was the only nut-job shooting scarface style.

I got more than a few strange looks from the others! I wish i'd never sold that gun.

 

haha. they probably got as much a kick out of it as you did. remember the first time they went hog wild and pig crazy.

 

colt python looks way better with black grips and an 6 inch barrel

 

guns dont kill people

I kill people
