Any gun knowledgable people on here?

That's pretty ignorant. We don't need to get into a argument here. I own a gun because self protection is right guaranteed me by the Constitution. I choose to excersize my right. Feel free to excersize yours. Has nothing to do with compensation.

As for XD's... I really love mine. Just a great gun with great features for a great price. Get your Sig, but pickup a XD sometime.

 

I drool everytime I see an M1. I get to use them on funeral details, but that is it. I have a ache for a carbine.

 

Actually I was just talking about this the other day with a COP and he insisted I check out CaliforniaOpenCarry.org ... specifically http://www.californiaopencarry.org/CaliforniaOpenCarry.pdf

We do have an open carry policy. As long as it's not loaded and is visible in a holster, your OK.

Did I just out myself as a gun nut?

 

I personally dont have a gun to "feel" like a man nor to compensate for small human parts. I have it to protect myself and my family and if I had to fill someone with holes to protect my family.........so be it!!!

Guns dont kill people by themselves, it takes a human to hold the gun and pull the trigger.

Ditto top of my list, along with a half dozen others

I'd like an AR as well but Cali dropped them a while back. Close I got is a mini-14 but that is no substitute for an AR

 

My LAR is my everyday shooter. Super accurate, super quiet, and cheap to shoot under 300 meters. I use it for my long shooting as well. At almost 2 bucks a round it hurts, but well worth it.

I highly recommend one.

 

My favorite shooters are my .45 and my .44 lever actions closely followed by the ruger mini 30. None of which are cheap to shoot. The one I shoot most often is a Sig .22 semi. I really love that little gun. Lots of fun and accurate. Only down side is it will only eat good ammo. If I put cheap stuff in, it will stove pipe about 6 rounds into the clip. There is an indoor range close to me and a couple of outdoor ranges. I take my oldest son with me. Great father son time. The only problem is that he is starting to beat me when we shoot bowling pins and targets. He has quite an eye and a steady hand.

 

because it's my right and i do so legally. i will protect mine and my own with lethal force. from those people that carry illegally.

crime and violence can come down upon you without warning or cause. from no fault of your own. It's up to you if you want to fight or give in.

as Thomas Jefferson quoted:
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

 

thats your view on life.

ive personally found a more peacful one without them.

 

....26 long guns...16 handguns... all but my makarov are locked in my massive 60 gun, gun safe....its a personal choice.
nice thread....glad everyone is being reasonable. : )
