Hey John, Thats pretty much the way I would sum it up. as you can see I
can always make room in the safe, barely. Luckily I'm able to load all
my own rounds, So its actually cheaper to shoot than Golf, but I do
shoot golf balls on occasion. UD

YES! That's what I'm talkin' about.

I don't have a semi-auto pistol. Now you've got me drooling. I'll have
to check on the next Virginia gun show in the area. You've never seen
so many guns in one place.

Speaking of propitious. Would you look at this:

Now I've got something to do tomorrow that won't cost me a fortune.
Hell, I may just go ahead and get a concealed carry permit.

Er, John..... Are you sure you want a gun?

Er, Tim, you snipped the best parts! Do you clean your guns without an
oil laden swab stuck up your nose? Whimp.

Someday, I might get brave enough to try out my son's Desert Eagle.

Maybe. :)

I had the opportunity to shoot a .50 Desert Eagle. Back then it was
$1.25 per pull. It was fun but not something I'd care to own. Which
one does he have?

Actually Harry, I'd feel very fortunate to use a pisol against a
human
assailant.

If a person does not possess the confidence to face an opponent
empty
handed, that person needs training. There are many ways to kill or
disable
an opponent bare handed. Those who must rely on a weapon just
demonstrate
their own inadequacy, although, it DOES make it a hell of a lot
easier. And
you don't have to get your hands dirty or your hair messed up.

Karate is great, unless the other guy has a .44 magnum pointed at
your
head.

Black pepper. I had a self defense guru tell me one time that for
close in mugging, nothing beats a palm full of black pepper in the
face.

When you think about it, makes perfect sense.

I also like the small personal Tasers. Those look like a fairly
decent issue to use - non-lethal and you can deal out some punishment
without getting too close. :)

Tom, that's fine if you have the pepper.

And Tom, if the .44 gave you that much grief, If I were you, I'd
seriously consider leaving the Desert Eagle alone.

seriously.

I did qualify that with a "maybe". :)

Somebody that I know who knows somebody that knows somebody who knows
somebody else (wink wink - nudge nudge) has an AK that, um..."works"
if you get my drift. He had it up at the Turkey Shoot the other day -
man, it still shoots sweet as can be.

That's one fine weapon.

For a piece of **** manufactured gun you can drag through the mud and
then
fire two magazines of ammo, yes, it is one fine weapon. Looks like
the damn
things will last until you fire the bore smooth, and then just keep
firing.
About as simple as a Model A Ford.

A few years ago, there was a survey about the top ten weapons that
changed modern warfare. For some reason, the RPG and AK-47 were placed
10th and 3rd respectively. I would argue that you could make the case
for either the RPG or AK-47 as number one - tied even.

I disagree with you on one point - even in local manufacturer mode
where the firing mechanism, chamber and barrels are supplied and the
stocks are made out of local materials they are a quality weapon for a
guerilla unit or assault force. They maintain reasonable accuracy even
when abused. I do agree with you on it's ability to hold up under
abuse - you can fire the damned things until the barrel is smooth as
glass and it still shoots reasonably straight over short distances.
It's a combination of relaxed machining standards and the metal alloys
they use to build the business ends. It's not so much how they are
made as how they are used and in that sense, it's an outstanding
weapon.

The one who is owned by somebody who knows somebody that knows
somebody who knows somebody else (wink wink - nudge nudge) is Russian
in origin built in '66 and part of Russian military aid to the NVA. A
war souvenir and shipped back to the states in pieces.

Of course I can't "directly" verify any of that - wink wink - nudge
nudge. :)


What's the big deal? If you can fog a mirror and are sans
felony/domestic violence convictions, you can have a Class III firearm
transferred to you.

It costs $200 for the transfer.

At least a third of the guys I shoot with out in Virginia have full-auto
firearms legally in their possession.

Hell, just learn how to bump that Desert Eagle and you, too, can enjoy
the great fun of a really rapid fire pistol.







It's sort of the Cigarette boat of pistols, used, no doubt, by the same
sort of guys.
