The (old) Official Gun Thread.

I never understand people like this. I have heard people talk about "I live in a small town, everyone knows each other. We don't lock the front door or car doors and leave the keys in the visor."

It may be a sign of living in a nice place, with upstanding [read: not criminal] citizens, but why do they brag about inviting this kind of chance? Seems a touch ignorant and naive.

True, but i wonder if Kai was exaggerating to express the safety he felt in his community. I'm sure he's aware of the possibility of a passer-by helping himself to any number of unlocked goods.

"round here, everyone and their mums is packing."

Criminals are opportunists. If they see a chance to commit the crime they will. But if they know they stand a good chance of getting caught or shot they will behave themselves.

As for a shotgun for home protection I would use bird-shot. It won't go thru walls but it will tear someone a new asshole. My home security system is my insomniac self with a Taurus PT 24/7 Pro 40 cal with hydra-shocks JHP. I want the big hole to be in my target not the wall behind them.

Ours is similar.

Me with a Taurus PT-945 firing .45 ACP with 230 Grain Speer Gold Dot JHP's.

Theresa with a Beretta Cheetah firing .380 ACP with 90 Grain Speer Gold Dot JHP's.

That plus two Akita's.

Woe to the idiot who walks into our house uninvited...

Fixed.

230 Grain Speer Gold Dot JHP's.

I bought a pack of these for the pistol, and I also keep one of my AK Mags full of hollow-points.

No exaggeration at all - its 100% true.

I'm aware there are such things as criminals here, but honestly, the only crims you have to deal with out here are the gyppo's who come round in a transit van. I have a driveway with thick oak gates at the entrance, they would have to get past those and drive a diesel van into my courtyard without me noticing in order to stand a chance of nicking anything.

Virgin alert!!!!!!!!!

As far as I know, I've never posted in here. I do however own a pistol now and I have my permit to carry a concealed weapon as well............I know. You guys are all proud of me and everything........:biglaugh:

My only firearm right now is a .44 special.

 

[Doward]

Nothing wrong with that - it'd put a nice hole in someone thinking to harm you or your family

 

[Dachande]

I got pulled over the other day, and either the trooper forgot to return my permit, or I dropped it somehow..as I no longer have it in my possession.. =(

 

[Poodles]

I've had a cop try to take off with my knife before...

 

[shaggyskadude13]

I'm looking to buy a pistol to carry when I get my tax return back. I was looking at either the SIG Sauer SP2022 or a Walther P99, both in 9mm. I already mailed all the info for my carry permit I'm just waiting to get it in now. I was just curious if any of you guys know anything about either of these guns.

 

[Doward]

I can HIGHLY recommend the S&W M&P 9c for a carry gun (that's what I picked up Laura )

 

[Supracentral]

Also don't ignore the xD series:
