Like I've always said, "it's better to have a gun and not need one, then it is to need a gun and not have one".

QUOTE (LakesideMaiden @ Sep 20 2007, 03:13 PM) oh no, drock, we have to go thru stringent checks to....when I wanted to apply for LTC, I had to fill out this form that was about 5 pages long so that they could run a background check, run a drug test, you had to pass the firearms safety course, and I had to get references   They don't just hand out the LTC's like candy down here Oh?   Interesting. I always though I could walk into a pawn shop in Lincoln Park MI or somewhere, slap down a couple hundred bucks and pick myself up a nice Beretta with no questions asked.   Hmm, well I guess that's a good thing. I wonder if each state has it's own regulations? In Canada, we have this multi-billion dollar boondoggle called the National Gun Registry. It's too bad all the good, law abiding folk have to go through the mounds of paperwork and get the runaround, all the while criminals are going around shootin' up the streets unabated. Each county in New York has its own regulations regarding pistols. I live on Long Island and have a Suffolk County pistol permit, but I like to hunt and shoot upstate. In order to get upstate I have to drive thru NYC (Hence Island). Technically my permit is valid everywhere in NY except NYC and I could be arrested if pulled over carrying while driving. Once I leave the City my permit is valid again. So until I win the lottery and can afford a private Helicopter I shall continue to break the law. Hows that for Bulls#$t?

just found out that up here in NH you don't have to get an LTC - you do have to get a concealed LTC, but basically when you go to purchase a gun you just have to go thru the 10 day waiting period hehehe we're the northern rednecks, y'all

so does this mean when they give you your concealed LTC, you can't find it because its hidden from you?

 

 

 

That's weird.

[Geds]

ok, this happened to me about 2 weeks ago, and i have been meaning to type it up, but i haven't really had the time.

 

I had taken my crap-car...(a 1999 chevy cavalier that i am desperatley trying to kill) to my gun range on the wooded property that I own.

 

And, since I had recently installed a laser sight on my XD 9 mm, I decided i would go ahead and sight it in. I needed a stable platform to shoot from so I could adjust my POA/POI. (for you non-gunners, that's Point of Aim/ Point Of Impact.)

 

So i decide to pull the car down a little farther and use the roof of it to support my hands while sighting in the laser sight.

 

no problem, right?

 

the next morning, i am gassing up the cavelier at a gas pump, and the next pump over is a state trooper doing the same thing.

 

No problem right?

 

he walks over to get the windshield squeegie, which is more on my side than his, and looks my car over slowly.

 

he walks over and methodically cleans his windshield. he walks back to return the squeegie, and looks at my car again...then he says:

 

Sir?

 

Do you realize you have shell casings all over the hood of your car?

 

 

 

when my gun was ejecting the casings, they were bouncing around on the hood of the car and getting lodged in the widsheild wiper blade area!

 

He SAW THEM!!!!

 

I quickly told him I had been sighting in a pistol and was using the roof of the car to steady the gun, and he laughed. You could clearly see that if I were doing that from the passenger side, the shell casing would certainly land on the hood...

I have the feeling you would get a different reaction from a state trooper here in NY.

Having BEEN to New Jersey and New York recently with my guns locked securely away where violent criminals could not be hurt by them, I agree with you 100%.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(btw, i did that as soon as i entered New Jersey because the law there says i must. It's a dumb law. However, this is not meant to disrespect in any way my buddies pags and owlswing...i voluntarily locked my guns up in their home because they have young children, and i would have offered to do that regardless of state law. so, pags and owlswing... )

I've never touched a real gun and if I have anything to say about it, never will. No offense anyone, but why a thread glorifying guns? I would expect to see a thread like this in the political forum, but not here - it doesn't seem appropriate, but maybe it's just me...     I, unfortunately, am in a position where I have to sell guns on an almost-daily basis. The only plus side to that is that I can deny people a gun who act as though they will be dangerous with one (i.e. a guy aimed one at his friend and said "bang, you're dead" like a 5 year old with a toy. needless to say i took the gun back and told him i wouldn't sell him one. also, one guy told me "yeah i have 2 .380's at home, but neither is legit. that's why i wanna get one here." again, i took the gun back)     "How many times must the cannonballs fly before they're forever banned?"

Firearms are an exciting world. Yes, they're associated with killing and maiming, but that only accounts for a small portion of their applications in the world. If your initial reaction to the title of this topic is to recoil in disgust, you probably represent the majority of people in the world; guns have been responsible for incalculable loss of life. But that is not the point of this thread. The point is to appreciate their power, their elegance, their ingenuity, their diversity. So... What have you handled?

A cap gun is as far as I ever got. I also tried my friend's pellet gun once.

I want.

Figures it was tested at Blackwater though.

 

 

Since I never noticed this topic, I'll just point out I own a Remington 870 Express with an extra shell holder and a folding stock, soon to get a flashlight attachment when I can afford it.

And a Ruger M77 MKII all black synthetic, the sight on it is so-so but I'm used to it.

Plan on buying a pistol in April or May, but so far I'm not sure what I want.

Well I intended to get a new Remington, but this caught my eye:

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/JackAubrey/WM1300Defender.jpg

 

It's a Winchester model 1300 Defender 12 gauge which is just as good as the Remington but costs less. Instead of getting a folding stock for it I'm leaning toward an adjustable stock with a side saddle. We'll see.

If a chrome gun is your thing then go for it. Personally I prefer my weapons with a subdued finish.

I know you're joking but the M-60 is a great weapon. There's nothing like firing it from the hip!
