And treat it as such. Not if you're a Responsible Gun Owner. Then it's always safe. When it ceases to become safe, the you are no longer a Responsible Gun Owner, so it doesn't matter any way.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 TP, But if anyone ever has an accident with a firearm or acts, with a firearm, in a manner that is in any way unsafe everyone should be denied access to firearms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denied access 100%? No. I personally have no problem with anyone owning any fire arm at any time, whatsoever. But the weaseling post-hoc justification for Responsible Gun Owner is tiresome and risible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP, I can see that. If people who support the right to keep and bear arms would stop opposing an and all regulation as "unreasonable" I think we might actually be able to do something about firearms violence in the US.

You guys are the ones who brought that argument up, IIRC. So maybe if you find it tiresome, I'd suggest maybe stop bringing it up all the time.

My sister carries a .40 cal pistol for work, and since CT limits me to a ten a round clip, I kind of feel like I should go larger than 9mm anyway. Got any recommendations? .40 is a funny caliber. Have you ever fired it? A lot of people I know hate it for it's 'flipiness'. I have one and i use it a fair amount, so it's kind fo grown on me. But it's still not my favorite. 9mm and .45 is what i shoot most of, but it really comes down to personal preference. I would strongly recommend finding a range that does rentals if you can. Always good to try a variety before you buy. Quote We're a concealed carry state. So something too large is probably not a great idea, but I kind of like the idea of a 1911. 1911 is great. but as you say, probably not awesome for carry purposes. I have two of them, and they are by far the ones I use the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 MC, Isn't the ammunition load limited on a .50 cal. weapon. Don't you have to worry about the bullet penetrating your target the wall and whatever is behind the wall as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The range I took the NRA class at does rentals, but they'll only rent out 9mm or .22s while we just have our training certs and not the full license. My friend and I tried 4 different models last week, but I'm going to wait until I get my permit and then go with some friends and try some of theirs too. I'm thinking its probably a good idea to hire an instructor for some more one on one time now too, before I might start developing bad habits.

all swedes are racist Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Couldn't ask for a better mental image to start the day (the bears are actual bears again, only with really nice hair dos, and everyone is only wearing battle vests) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Crazy to think there were two mass shootings this week and I don't recall anyone talking about it. The new normal indeed. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-kansas-shooting-idUSKCN0VZ15K http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/21/us/michigan-kalamazoo-county-shooting-spree/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
