Yeah, that's the ticket!

I have a Winchester 30-30 I should sell, since I'm certainly
not taking it on the boat. I don't need it for the
stormtroopers because my wife & I both have pistols.

I live in NY and I would never be so gay as to own a pistol. I don't
need one, want one nor do I want the risk that someone else could
somehow get a hold of it someday.
Suzanne grew up with guns and was shooting her own rifle while I was
reading pulp-sci fi, but she's a grown up now and wouldn't think of
owning a gun.
I wonder why Doug and his Wife, powerboaters through and through, own
guns. Oh, and not just guns; pistols, weapons designed to kill other
human beings.

over 100,000 women fended off robbers and rapist with guns last year.
Some people actually shoot rifles for sport.

Maybe to be on a level playing field with a thief or murderer, rapist
if needed.

So they don't get in a gun fight with a knife?

But your right, why carry a pistol when you can own a AR-15 shorty
carbine with a 30 round clip?

and just about as easy to manuver in tight areas.

Can you a cite a source for this number?

I wonder why Bobsprit feels the need to insult other people
because they have something he doesn't.

As for why I have guns, because I am a small-town Southern
boy and grew up huntin' and shooting for sport. Guns were an
everyday fact of life & part of our household. I am familiar
with guns, comfortable with guns, at one time in my life
spent considerable time & effort developing a high degree of
skill with guns. It's fun and it can come in very handy
(unfortunately... I wish the world were not a place where
guns are often necessary, but wishing doesn't take the place
of reality).

Why do cops carry pistols in New York City?

Any gun is a tool. It is merely a differential pressure
engine. Used properly, it does not kill but rather protects
& enforces the law. Just like any other tool. Hammers &
chainsaws can kill people too.

Yeah but it's difficult to wear discreetly under a sports
jacket.

All you need is a trench coat. A 10 mm Glock is pretty bulky too.
If you need to conceal.. then a Walter PPK or Colt hammerless pocket
pony are good choices.

I'm not necessarily talking concealment, just discretion &
style. And one can wear a moderate sized pistol on a belt
and still carry out work requiring both hands & some
exertion (climbing around on & under machinery for example).

And in the course of everyday life taken a turn for the
worse, what possible scenario requires a 30 round clip? If
you can't solve the problem with eight bullets (or more
realistically, just two in the right place) then you
obviously ****ed up really *really* bad. An assault rifle is
for assault, not personal protection.


.... A 10 mm Glock is pretty bulky too.

Yep.
Plus I have never been comfortable with the idea of plastic
guns. Perhaps I should look into carbon fiber ones

My personal fave is the Colt Mustang .380 which is a baby
M1911 even to the way it breaks down. Accurate, safe,
reliable... not hammerless though.

A tactical sling works well on the AR, you can use both hand and not
have the weapon flopping around.

A pack of 3-4 kick in burglers..multi intruders ect. Houston ever
since Katrina has had a rash of violent gang type murders robberies.

Not so, and if someone boards the boat in the middle of the night, it
might take me 3-4 rounds to get on target. The person ****in up is the
one forcing entry ect. Last time someone boarded my boat in the middle
of the night it was 3 people.

I wan't to assault the hell out of anyone who I feel a need to point a
gun at.

More cops carry Glocks than any other auto

Damn Joe! If it has a feed spring it's a magazine. A clip doesn't
have a spring to feed the rounds.

Ahem... must be an "merican" thing.... cause a mag is contained within the
gun and a clip is not everywhere else. Not to mention that every clip/mag
does indeed have a spring or gear mechanism to ensure the following round is
placed to be ready for the action to cycle it into the chamber.

Next you'll be telling me about your spring loaded semi-auto rolling block
action.

Guns should be banned in the USA.
