a nice double and a few mauser-clones in bolt for killing things larger than a person. a cheap mossy's what won't kill people through 3 walls and is pretty foolproof for a primary defensive weapon and a sig/glock/hk around the bed works.

something .223ish for plinking. or if you need the FPS to defeat light armor, whichever.

I own an attractive single shot .20 cal Sheridan Air Rifle, and a single shot bb target pistol that I used to fire air darts.

I helped establish a rifle club at my college and I was the secretary/treasurer. But, I've never owned a "real" gun.

get thyself an airforce talon ss or a condor in .22-most fun toys ever

You don't miss a thing, do you Einstein?

There's a lot of fire power talk on this thread. Tell me , have any of you actually had to use yer fancy shootn' iron to actually protect yourself?

I have had to pull my gun on a guy before, but it was a guy who'd threatened to kill me. A guy who had a half-foot and 150 pounds on me. I hope I never have to pull a gun on someone ever again, much less shoot them.

I've been a licensed CCW holder since I was 21...I've carried for all of five days total since then.

That's bananas! Was he a dude you knew or just a random crazy?

Thanks for sharing. That reminds me of a bit Dave Attell did on the Daily Show about the right to bear arms. He said every American should have the right to carry a gun because you never know when some maniac is gonna run up behind you and say 'you're fired'.

I have a Crossman 760 with scope that I use when neighbors leave their Christmas lights on after mid-January.

I've also spent the last three years conditioning the neighborhood crows with ever-present peanuts in my pockets to serve as faithful and vigilant air cover.

Crows can take a hit Gunker... My Lab is forever stalking those fuckers and on more than one occasion I've sent one barrel of ten gauge into the side of one of those noisy pests only to see them reel, correct, and fly away. If you want to see feathers fly then Blue Jays are where its at kid.

Blue jays are much better fliers and will steal peanuts away from crows who will sit watching stupefied and hopeless and hope for a second peanut. It seems that the blue jay color-scheme is blind to crows.

A long time ago (when I was a teenager), I did maim a crow with a miracle long-distance Crossman shot (across the street, on top of a large tree.)

Before that, I had shot at crows at much-closer distances to no effect.

This time, the crow tumbled out of the tree and skipped about.

I went across the street to look at it closer, and realized it was bleeding out of a wing joint and could no longer fly.

I chased it about a bit, and delivered a kill shot to it's brain.

I soon realized that 50 crows were swarming about above me yelling in anguish. I got the hell out of there and was guilt-ridden.

Thus, from that point on, I no longer use the Crossman to kill, and to respect crows ala Native Americans. I now feed them on my way back and to the bus stop.

I've been doing this penance for three years in my neighborhood and now have crows flying to me from blocks away to get their peanuts.

The interesting thing is, over this three-year period, how do the crows recognize me? I've gone from clean-shaved to bearded, sometimes I carry a sportsbag, sometimes I don't, sometimes I'm dressed for work, sometimes casual, I usually walk about at the same times, but sometimes don't, hell, sometimes I exit/enter a different bus stop, sometimes I merely take out the garbage at a random time...

...in all cases, the neighborhood crows will often recognize me and fly close for a tasty peanut...

Wait; what was I talking about?

You were saying how you got trolled by black-birds and nuts may not be your thing.

'open carry state'. You can go on trial for making a dirty movie. You can carry guns. Fuck America is confusing...

yep
they let me have it in an hour
i took the firearm safety class
but coudnt pass the test to carry concealed beause i couldnt remember all the gun parts on the test- i got confused on the prawl and the hammer or something
but it doesnt matter cause its an open carry state
so they just let me have it anyway
but i cant put it like, in my purse
it has to be visible
and someone told me you cant carry it on you
visible or not
in your car
but i dont know if thats true or not

I've just figured out the way to get out of Iraq and calm down the rest of the Middle East in the process. Just issue a proclamation announcing that everyone over there get their shit together or the USO will be send an armed Pretty over for a tour.

i HAVE fired a ak47 pistol once- but it was during a calendar shoot thingy i was doing for dragon arms
theres pics of me with it in front of this russian dudes hummer on my model mayhem page
theres alot of soldiers at work all the time that say they use desert eagles in battle though
and i cant even lift one of those

Pics or it didn't happen.

oh yeah
duh
ok heres a link
i dont know how to do the pics thingy
but here:

Looking into a Kel-Tec PLR-16 at the moment. For the uninitiated, it's this:

I own alot, I mean alot, of guns. From your basic 22 cal plinkers, in-lines, 50 cal hawkins, 7mm mags, sigs,glocks,berettas,etc.

That being said I have to laugh at the CCW crowd here. I'd like at least one of you to fully explain your gameplan when it comes to killing someone outside of your home. Home defense is one thing and I'm fine with that. But if you think a permit is going to save your ass in a civil court then I hope you have the bankroll to back it up.

edit to add: nice nips pretty, what are they like 100 grain .30 cal?

my nipples?
um
theyre just skin dude
thank you
but theyre always always hard
i dont know why that is...

love, pretty

oh and yeah they told us that in firearm safety class- like an hour and a half was legal with a criminal defense attorney
and he said even if the person as attacking you and you had to kill them to get them off of you
youd still spend a lot of time in jail and money getting out of jail
permit or not
i think the permits just to carry it hiding on your person
but theyll let anyone thats not a felon carry one openly here in colorado in about an hour

Jesus didn't need bullets, he had spikes.

You folks live in the wrong state. In SC, feeling like your life is threatened or, get this: feeling like you are witnessing someone else's life threatened gives you the right (and some say obligation) to use deadly force to end the threat.

It's not a routine occurrence, but I can't think of a single incident where the justified shooter was harassed around here.

Damn I wanna move to SC., or learn how to control my temper and keep my hands to myself.

What kinda boomstick are you going to touch off with those
flippers crackwhore?

Not funny. You suck.

I've killed a cheetah at very close range and a buff at 20 yards or so. the former was the best shot under duress i've ever made-they fly at you and there's not much light or warning.

as for crows-let me reiterate the Precharched Air Rifles in .22-25. daystate, air arms and evanix all make quiet and accurate carbines that will force you to use the heaviest ammo available to stay subsonic. a condor in .22 will do well over 1200fps with a 14.9grain pellet-i prefer eun-jins and jsb's.

anyhow, you can take a crow from 100 yards ethically and raccoons, possums, skunks and fisher cats and even coyotes at half that with a decent shot placement. they'll move less than 5 yards.

I only have one, a beautiful 9mm but its not allowed here, there's alot to go thru, so mine is illegal, but let someone try to come to my house, if they pass Bandit, they're all mine. I've been taught to shoot very well. A roomie had a glock 26 but I made her get rid of it.

I don't need a gun to protect my home.

How cute, a self portrait!

He happens to be my Sensei.
