how many guns you got?

“What kinda weapon could I get for $1,500?”

“Not a bad idea.”

“"I've tripled my 'cold dead finger' exercises in the wake of Mosess' Passing."

Flippin' off, Moses?”

“Smith and Wesson SW40VE
$300-$400

“Sweet, I can get one for me, the wife and the 2 kids. Charles will have to wait to use it for a couple of months since he still have some trouble holding up his neck.

Grace could take it to daycare for show and tell.”

“They probably don't allow guns in her school so you might have to stand outside the window and hold it up for them.”

“I don't think they check her bag when she comes in. These are only 3 and 4 year old kids. I do think it is important to educate children on proper hand gun usage.”

“LOL”

“Hmmm, you know I bet I could get a decent used .30-06 for $600”

Children, never point a loaded gun at anyone other than democrats and republicans.”

“My Ciabatta fell when you said that. Now I have to reshaped and final ferment them and I'm hungry.”

“I need a handgun with more "stopping" power, but light and easy to use left handed by a right handed guy. Maybe put a lazer sight on it.”

“I'm very curious... this is a question for everyone here... why do you want a handgun?”

I don't. The gun I listed would be a hunting rifle.”

“So I can hook up my new satellite dish on the roof.

OH, and to piss off liberals. I saw that on a bumper sticker someplace.

I use mine for hunting and for plinking/skill shooting. They are very enjoyable to shoot.

“Stovestomper, look into the lightweight double action revolvers by S&W or Taurus. IMHO the lightweight semi-autos (such as KelTec, sorry guys) are just not very good. Crimson Trace makes lazer sights that are built into the gun grip.

Then you didn't need to respond, maybe you don't know English, the question was WHY DO YOU WANT A HANDGUN? If you don't want a handgun, don't respond!

Your answer(s) make absolutely no sense whatsoever... would you care to actually try to communicate with the rest of the world & tell us why you need a handgun, or would you like to just continue being *#%$#$&^@%$

�so I can, if I need too. or want too�

Damn, I feel bad for you... you think it's necessary to have a handgun JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN?

“I have hunted with a handgun. Like NC I enjoy shooting / plinking with a hand gun. I also shoot rifles and shotguns. The handgun adds another level of difficulty to shooting.

Owning a handgun because you want one or just because you can is not a reason to feel sorry for someone. People own large SUVs, motor homes, boats and other non-essential fuel hogs. They own them because they want one and can afford them. They are not bad people because they drive vehicles that emit more greenhouse gasses than absolutely necessary. They are causing more harm than some person with a legal pistol used for home defense and sport shooting. To make a long story short....I own a hanggun because it is within my rights, I want one and I can afford it. These are the same reasons people drive the afore mentioned fuel hogs.”

“I want one so I can make bigger holes in people, if I need to. Right now, I can make plenty of small 22 size holes.

I have limited use of my right side so a long gun is not the best for me.”

“I'm now VERY curious why people won;t give a legit / honest answer!


Maybe try reading a little harder because I'm pretty sure I gave you one. Also, if you lose the I-don't-want-one-so-why-would-anyone-want-one attitude you might understand. Or better yet, go to a local shooting club and try it. Educate yourself.

“"Owning a handgun because you want one or just because you can is not a reason to feel sorry for someone. People own large SUVs, motor homes, boats and other non-essential fuel hogs. They own them because they want one and can afford them."

Comparing guns to SUV's etc., has to rank at the top of the most rediculous comparisons I've ever heard.

We're talking about weopons that KILL people, not gas-guzzling vehicles, can't you get a grip on that? talk about comparing apples & oranges, wow!



Tarabull, yes your answer was legit -you use yours for hunting! Read the other bullsht answers I referred to & you'll understand my complaint.”

“Actually SUV's kill more people than handguns:)”

“Stovestomper will like this quote off of a profile on another forum.....

"Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun."”

“Wanderer it appears that you have strong beliefs on the subject of handguns. I do not happen to agree with them as you can tell. You are soliciting opinions from other TTers just to ridicule and berate them. That is a chickensh$5 way to approach things. My point with the SUVS was that people own them knowing that they have the ability (and do) to cause harm to the environment. I have handguns knowing in the wrong hands they can cause harm. It is my right as a citizen of this country to own a handgun. You can get alot more done by voting for people with similar beliefs and giving money to them than you can by getting on this forum and being a dic%.”

“Comparing guns to SUV's etc., has to rank at the top of the most rediculous comparisons I've ever heard.


One thing that's ridiculous here, wanderer, is you not accepting any answer that challenges your emotional, preconceived notions. YOU have the emotional issue with handguns, handgun owners (the vast majority) do not.
The other ridiculous thing is you not understanding the "apples & oranges" comparison and the point that was being made. People like you always have to resort to the 'we're talking about weapons designed to kill!' line because your thoughts about guns are emotionally driven. Like I said earlier, YOU don't want one so you can't understand why ANYONE would want one. That also is ridiculous. The same could be said about any piece of backpacking gear you own that I don't: why do you want it? why do you need it? I don't want or need it so it's inconceivable to me.

Lose the emotional connection to guns, dude. Go to a club. Try one. Try several. They......are......enjoyable.....to.....shoot. They can be used for hunting. They can also be used to protect yourself and your family.

Now say something silly about me comparing handguns to backpacking gear.


PS: my handguns have yet to kill anybody and I have owned them for years. Maybe they're defective?”

“that, or you can't shoot straight:)”

“Nice one, Nimblefoot!”

“We need to morph more arms back to plowshares to feed our SUVs.”

“Eight S&W handguns in my office right now.....four with Crimson Trace laser grips. Oh, baby!”

“Sweet”

“Two.......a right and a left.”

“Cool - are those grip lasers really worthwhile?

Here in MO, it's just been signed into law that suppressors are legal to buy/own/sell, as long as you have at least a C&R FFL. I've just sent off my application to get one. Silent .22LR plinking, here I come!”

“On the smaller .38s, .22s, etc, they're great although they really magnify the hand shakes, lol. I don't have any experience with them when it comes to something with a little more snap....I'm curious myself as to how well they'd hold up. I've seen crosshairs damaged in regular handgun scopes with some heavy .44 mag and .308 (TC Encore) loads.”

“NC I have been looking at a S&W M&P 40 or 9mm. Do you have any feedback on that model. The rails looked a little light. Any feed back would be appreciated.

A friend has the Crimson traces on a .40 cal. He has a couple of hunred rounds thru it and they seem to have held up and stayed sighted in pretty well.

We had a set on a Ruger 22 pistol. They worked well to break bad habits in quick fire ranges. They were taken off and traded after the "new" wore off.”

“Go with S&W .357 Revolver that way you don't have to pick up yo brass iffin you hafta bussacap in someones a$$!”

“And then there's 'Cowboy Shoot'.”

“Is that the event that you spoke of at Trail Daze? Then...yeah...what he said!”

“About to go from 0 to 3. It's been on my mind a while that I should really have a weapon in my home. I live in a rural area and up until 2 weeks ago had no neighbors on the cul-de-sac. Hearing a bump in the basement is not fun to investigate when you don't even have a ball bat in hand. An online discussion on another board really got me to thinking about how I should research a weapon and it also made me realize that when I was the age of my son, I knew a great deal more about guns that he does.

I just ordered a 12 ga pump that comes with a 28" barrel and a 18.5" barrel. I'm visiting my folks this weekend too and am coming back with my old .22 rifle and probably one of my dads larger rifles. I'll start taking my kids to the range from time to time to educate them about the safe handling and usage of rifles. The shotgun will be kept with 18.5" barrel on, loaded with bird shot, but safety on and an empty chamber. This will be kept in the top of my closet. The 28" barrel gives me the option to bird hunt or shoot clays. Friday after next, the office is taking off that afternoon and going sporting clay shooting. We've been talking about doing it for a few months and are actually doing it now. Should be fun.”

“Good for you. Education and safe and proper handling is the key. Have fun!”

“Hey, thanks for telling us where you'll hide your guns!

btw, YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!!”

“I will need to get a more permanent destination for the rifles. They're there for target shooting only.

I don't recall my dad doing anything special with storage, but he and I shot often together and he made damn sure I not only knew what they did, but respected what the did/could do.”

“PS, I figured I had better make a purchase in case O'Bama is elected and tries to change all of the laws.



j/k





sort-of.

“The day they take away my gun rights is the day I'll buy a gun, ... actually, I'll aquire a small arsenal.”

“so what does a fella do with a couple of shotguns and a small collection of rifles that he doesn't want anymore?

I suppose I could just keep them indefinitely like i have been......

Is it even legal to just sell them privately to a neighbor/friend?”

“It's probably not legal, but bet it happens all the time.”
