Sound Off if you've got a gun!!

[Driven1]

i had a kel-tec...did not like the "hard trigger" as the safety.  difficult to aim precisely as squeezing the trigger.  i have a .22 rifle and .410 shotgun right now.  in the market for another handgun currently. 

btw...ABC's Nightline had a special on this group of "Open Carry" citizens that were getting together in VA.  I wish we had open carry here.  there are only a few states in the union that have this law I think.  well, at least we have the concealed carry right here.

true true, the Kel-Tec .380 is probably small enough though

The trigger pull is harder in general on that gun though

[gatorback]

I'm an open carry don't get caught kind of guy myself.

[adamh0903]

Sounding off!!

I'm glad this one passed.  I also fully agree with the standing limitations on who can get guns and where the guns can be taken.

i can tell you, as an FFL dealer, ATF watches very closely who buys a gun, its buying it out of the classifieds that they have hard time keeping track of.

i strongly disagree with this.  the government has zero need to know how many or what kind of guns i have.

The only thing I know is whether you got a handgun or longun. They dont know the make or model

In complete agreement with this decision.  Guns are what keep us free.  Take a look at Zimbabwe, this is a recent quote from the opposition candidate who has faced violence just for running for office: "Tsvangirai made the call for peacekeepers in a commentary published Wednesday in British newspaper The Guardian. Asked about it at a news conference later in Harare, Tsvangirai said: "What do you do when you don't have guns and the people are being brutalized out there?"

guns stand between freedom and tyranny.  "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States.

as a proud gun owner I can say this restored some of my faith in this court, not all mind you.  I also liked what it said about gun locks, afterall what good is a gun when its got a lock in it?

excercise your rights, apply for your concealed carry permit!

[gatorback]

Ha.  I with you walter.  But a gun lock is good for the kids that don't know what they are doing.

I agree with the sentiment that a) this is a fantastic ruling, and b) it is sad that things have deteriorated to the point where this was ever even in question.

You guys sound like you know your guns, maybe you could help me out here.

I've never owned a gun, and know very little about them, but I'd really like to purchase one for home protection. I live in an exceedingly safe area, but you never know when some idiot is going to get cute and bust in while you're sleeping. I need something small and user friendly that I could throw in a drawer, forget about, and have work effectively if I called upon three years down the road.

How much would such a hand gun cost?

$400 at least probably.  check out gander mountain down at the st augustine outlets.  they have a fairly large selection at good prices.  also, of course you can look at southside/st nicholas guns.  i bought my 410 there.  bought my .22 at dicks sporting goods.

i will probably be getting a handgun here within the next 45 days.  will let you know what i choose.  let me know what you find out there too.

[adamh0903]

Gander Mtn is a good place to look around because you can actually see so many guns, but I have sold Guns for a long time and I will try to answer any questions you guys have, feel free to email me directly. adam@nftechnology.com

I would suggest you go to a local gun store, shooters on University is great, ask for Ray he really knows his stuff.  They also sell used and will make sure you get a good deal.  Gunsamerica.com is a good site to look at the different types.  You'll get a good idea about prices and then can negotiate in the shop.

For home protection a pump action shotgun is what I would use.  the sound of the action alone would make someone reconsider their actions.  There is also a good range of different shot for shotguns as well and you wouldn't have to worry about accuracy.

If you want a hand gun for this purpose and want it to work after being in a drawer, you should consider a revolver.  There are hammerless versions that work really well.  If you do buy one though, please take it to the range and fire it.  Once you feel comfortable firing it, getting used to the sound and feel of the kick, you will have a lot more confidence in using it when you may have to, if ever.

Maverick (mossberg) makes a 12ga , 18.5" barrel, 8 round w/ pistol grip and full stock for around 240$ Shotgun is the best for home defense.

You can have your gun in your car at work tomorrow and your employer can’t make you take it out.
