I wonder how many hunters killed a deer and found tipless antlers on the damn thing!



How sporting. I assume you posted this just to get attention.

'Twas an 'in' joke. You'd not get it. But I'll bet you're impressed with circled
pencil holes on cardboard, yes?


You're right. I didn't get it. I've never shot or even tried to shoot
an animal.

And no, I don't get excited shooting at paper targets at the range
either. I do so occasionally only to maintain my familiarity with the
guns and to sharpen my aim should it ever be necessary to use one in
self-defense.

Actually, I am thinking of getting rid of all the guns except one. Each
gun shoots differently, some more accurately than others. For my
purposes and interests it would probably be better to have just one
gun that shoots the most accurately and stay familiar with it.
Right now, that would be the Walther pistol however I actually prefer
a revolver like the little .38 Chief's Special. No fiddling around
loading a round in the chamber. Just aim and shoot.

I don't really have a need to "carry" anymore, so the small Sig has no
real purpose. The Ruger SR22 pistol just sits in the safe. Rarely use
it. Might have another handgun that I've forgotten about... have to
check the safe.

Still have a shotgun that I've never fired or even loaded and the
Ruger 10/22 rifle.

My wife's favorite is the Chief's Specail, although she does like the P938 also. Of
course her accuracy with the CS on SA is much better than with the P938.

I like the Kimber .45. I can shoot it better than any of the others. Save the guns
for your grandkids. By the time they're old enough, you should know them well enough
to transfer them (legally of course).

Nope. While I am still kicking I'll either sell/transfer them to
licensed individuals as allowed by state law or to a FFL dealer.
Note: In MA, that means the firearm now becomes uniquely registered to
the new, licensed owner.

If I kick the bucket the only one who will inherit any firearms I have
is my son in South Carolina, assuming he wants them. He took the time
and effort to attend a lengthy (2 month) safety course with his wife
that far exceeds the mandatory but simple 5 hour course required for a
permit in MA. I have already made my wishes documented on where they
go. If he doesn't want them they will be turned in to the local police
department for disposal.

My other son has no interest in guns and they scare the crap out of my
daughter.

If grandkids want guns ... they can go take the required courses, pass
the background checks, qualify like anyone else and go buy their own.
