What Firearms Do You Own? [Archive]

I am a big believer in firearms, and I have several kinds, some would say I have a small arsenal, and I keep thousands of rounds on hand.

I enjoy shooting, it's a favorite hobby of mine, but really I like to consider myself, as a collector of things that go boom!

Weapons are just something I have always been interested in, and I have a wide variety, from martial arts weapons, to swords, and from pistols to shotguns and of course rifles, and I even have a Chinese made Norinko AK47 that is alot of fun - unless you are on the wrong end of it! Like Samuel L. Jackson said in Pulp Fiction - "AK47, when you absolutely, positively, have to kill every MoFo in the room - accept no immitation."

Do any of you collect weapons? I am just curious, it seems that weapons would be something that interests alot of fight fans, but I could be wrong....

.....I am not opposed to owning firearms in the least but I would never have any as long as my kids are in the house. Too much crazy **** can happen with a gun in the house and inquisitive and mischeivous kids about. All of my brothers have their share of guns and concealed weapons permits to go along with them. I have never even pulled the trigger on a hand gun before. I shot my buddies rifle on New Years when I was in high school but that's my only experience with guns.

Right now I own a 9 millimeter made by a company called SportArms and one 380 also called a mini 9. I am more into weapons that I can conceal in case I have to use it in a street confrontation. I also own various knives, throwing knives, butterfly knives. I do plan on getting into bigger weapons like shotguns and AKs in case of a home invasion. Right now though I just have these small concealed weapons.

Nah, not crazy, depending on where you live, you may need them for protection or you may like to hunt, in my case I happen to live a couple of blocks away from some rather dangerous housing projects. I am not just a minority where I live - the wife and I are the ONLY white people in the neighborhood.

Most all of the houses around here have steel bars on the windows and doors, just as I do, it is a shame when your house has to have a jail cell view of sorts when you look out the window! But having the bars is better than having nothing in your house when you get home!

I guess the neighbors just refer to me as the crazy white boy with the mean doberman. Only the people right next door have ever said a single word to me since I moved in - not even a hello - EVER. I do get some crazy looks from some, and I must admit my friends in town don't come to visit me here, I have to go to their houses on the other side of town, but oh well - that's life I guess....

If the honest people aren't allowed to have guns - only the bad people will have them, I like to think of a gun like I think of a condom, I would rather HAVE one and NOT need it - than NEED one and NOT HAVE it....

Go suck a dick *********. If you don't like guns don't own one but don't judge others.

As for me, I enjoy going to the range and shooting. I used to belong to the local gun club. I have no intention of shooting another human being. I live in a nice neighborhood. :D

Sounds like a tough situation SoundTraveler.

Why so many rounds though? PLanning on going out like Tony Montana? Everyone in the neighborhood rushing you at the same time you saying, " Say hello to my lito fren? " :D

I only have a 38 that my friend keeps at his house.

I like to be prepared to do a "drive by" from here to L.A.! :D

Actually, with an AK47, I can go through a thousand rounds in just a few minutes if I have enough mags loaded. I like my Ruger 9mm as well, and I shoot it the most out of all of my guns. It is nothing to go through a couple of hundred rounds just having some fun, so I keep a few hundred rounds for the Ruger alone, right now I have 500 rounds for the AK47, about 50 rounds of #00 Buck for the 12 gauge pump, and about 50 rounds of "birdshot" for it too. So right now, I have around 900 rounds of ammo, not too shabby I guess.

I don't worry about having to shoot the neighbors, they won't be the ones breaking into my house - it's the crackheads that are doing that around here, to be honest, my wife likes to feel safe when I am out of the state doing some fight and she is home alone. I feel much better about leaving her at home with the Doberman and all the weapons, and she isn't a bad shot herself, so bring it on crackheads! If you get past the dog, you better watch out for the Queen!

You mean there are only a couple of us that enjoy shooting? I am rather shocked, I would have thought there would be more.

No hunters here? Man, I like my deer season, gator season too, and a good wild boar hunt is a blast - but watch out, cause them are some mean critters if you piss em' off Jethro! I have seen 300lb boars down here, and they will throw a whoopin' on you faster than greased owl ****! :eek:

I consider myself to be a pretty good shot, if it's within 400 yards, I can hit it, no problem. As long as the wind isn't blowing too hard that is.

With a pistol I am deadly at every distance at the pistol range, but the pop up targets are my favorite, the kind you have to decide if it's a friendly or not. I outshoot many of my cop friends at their range - it's funny to watch them get pissed off! I do have one buddy who I have never been able to outscore, which drives me insane, but what the hell, he is a sharpshooter for the S.W.A.T. team here in New Orleans. I just wish he would let me play with some of his toys, but he won't, because the ammo has to be accounted for - which sucks for me I might add!

I'm not a gunowner, but I sympathize with your situation. Sometimes things sound nice in theory (like curbing gun ownership) but people with practical problems have to deal with the consequences.

Well, i r edumacated u no! I realize that gun laws are designed to keep people safe, at least in theory, as you said, but if you look at the stats you see that whenever they take away handguns for instance as they did in California (San Fran.)street crimes go up, as criminals no longer have to fear the guy they were going to rob having a gun of his own!

Like I said, if the honest people don't have guns, then only the criminals will - how can that be better?

i lived in an all black area too and having a large asian hating alsation dog was pretty handy.

the dog was so nuts it used to run inside muslim houses,
go crazy then leave em with days of cleaning and cleansing.

well it happeened a few times...how legends grow :D

we did have asian/muslim friends but those in our direct vicinity
were a bunch of c***s.
soon after we left the two rival asian religions rioted and
the entire area was sealed off and contained.

not on the same scale as your place by any stretch of the
imagination but still a scary place to live as a kid.

as for weapons...i just threw a away my 1.77 pellet gun lol

ive used a 2.2 air rifle too haha

thats it.

<center>Confiscation of Registered Guns Begins in Illinois
<img src="http://www.kc3.com/images/Chicago_swat224.jpg">
Chicago Anti Gun Enforcement (CAGE) unit. This elite squad, operated jointly by the Illinois State Police, the Chicago Police Department, and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, supposedly exists to identify illegal gunrunners. However, information gained by the <a href="http://www.isra.org/">ISRA</a> makes it clear that the CAGE unit is targeting law-abiding citizens, not criminal gunrunners.</center>

The Chicago Police Department and the Illinois State Police have teamed up to make good on Mayor Daley's pledge that, if it were up to him, nobody would have a gun. Daley and his elite "CAGE" unit are apparently taking advantage of gun privacy loopholes to pinpoint certain individuals for inclusion in the confiscation program.

The <a href="http://www.isra.org/">ISRA</a> is following up on leads in one case that has disturbing implications. An elderly first-generation Chicago resident was recently paid a visit by an Illinois State Police trooper. After asking to come inside the man's home, the trooper asked if the man owned a gun - to which he replied yes. The trooper then directed the individual to surrender the firearm. The man complied with the officer's demand and the trooper left with the gun. And the story gets better...

The gun in question was purchased legally by the man in the 1970s shortly after he became a U.S. citizen. When Chicago's infamous gun registration scheme went into effect in the early 1980s, the man registered the firearm as per the requirement. However, over the years, the fellow apparently forgot to re-register the firearm, and forgot to renew his Illinois FOID Card.

So...what does this all mean?

In the last edition of The Illinois Shooter, we reported on the activities of a shady taskforce known as the Chicago Anti Gun Enforcement (CAGE) unit. This elite squad, operated jointly by the Illinois State Police, the Chicago Police Department, and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, supposedly exists to identify illegal gunrunners. However, information gained by the ISRA makes it clear that the CAGE unit is targeting law-abiding citizens, not criminal gunrunners.

Thanks to a ruling by a liberal federal judge, the CAGE unit now has the name of every single person in the United States who, since 1992, lawfully purchased more than one handgun in the period of a week. The CAGE unit also has all the makes, models and serial numbers of those guns. In essence, the Chicago Police Department is now registering guns and gun owners nationwide.

The ISRA has also learned that the CAGE unit has compiled a list of families where more than one person in that family holds a FOID card. Acting on that information, the CAGE unit is now contacting gun shops where those families have shopped, and is illegally registering all guns purchased by those families.

Now, it appears that the CAGE unit is scrubbing Chicago's gun registration list against the list of FOID card holders. Indications are that folks who have let their registrations and FOIDs lapse will have their guns confiscated. We have to wonder how long it will be until state troopers show up at the doors to confiscate the guns of non-Chicago residents who have let their FOIDs expire.

More later as this story develops.

fraidycat

11-14-2006, 12:11 PM

Oboy, GUNS!

I live in the city so there's not much use for recreational rifles. However, we do get out a lot.

:)

2 homemade recurve bows, one longbow, and enough ammo of various types to re-enact Agincourt -- boxes full of bone-splitters, Grizzlys, 3-blade Muzzys, judos for grouse and bunnies, and probably a hundred rounds of target ammo apiece -- all on hand-tuned wooden shafts. My wife was a state champion archer and we've both hunted since we were old enough to walk.

Those are the visible weapons; we hang the bows on the wall in our front room on a cherry-wood board. I made them; they are art. Harumph.

Handy but hidden we have an old Smith and Wesson .12 gauge pump, a women's/kid's model called an "Eastfield" originally sold by Sears. It has a cute little shorty wooden stock (for the wife, who is petite) but it takes 6 up the pipe. This is for perimeter defense/close support; we load with four #1 buck and two deer slugs in case one of the ****ers runs. Custom work: 18.5" barrel, massive padding on the buttstock, a padded cheekrest, TrijCon sights, and a tactical light. It is a serious ****-em-up weapon, and CHEAP. I bought the shotgun at a gunstore used for $79.95 and put about $100 into it -- bought the light, sights, etc. at a gun show for cheap and installed them myself.

A word of exposition: our previous next-door neighbors were meth dealers and junkies. The 12-gauge pump shotgun is the most devastating anti-personnel weapon available to a civilian, and I have hunted big game with my wife and seen her make the shot, so I know she'd pull the trigger and aim center mass if it came down to it -- none of this "I'll scare him off with it," or "I'd shoot him in the leg," bull****. Dead men don't sue.

Reasonably close at hand in case of zombie invasion I have a semiauto SAR-1 (AK-47) with 30-round mags and steel folding stock, and a pair of Yugo SKS sporters with the original 10-round, clip-fed fixed mags, which I just put folding stocks on -- the little Zytel jobbies -- now the the ban is over. The SKS's were $129 apiece a few years ago and they eat the same ammo as an AK. If the zombies attack, my friends will need guns too, right? :killyou: I've got a couple thousand rounds of Wolf ammo in M249 boxes, with a few hundred rounds pre-set on stripper clips for the SKS's.

Those of you who don't know the SKS, this is the Volkswagen Bug of assault rifles. I was sold on these babies when out shooting with a buddy who has one -- we were laughing b/c it's a cheap, rattly-feeling, toylike weapon that only holds 10 rounds and can't hit past 150 yards (drops 30" at 200 yards!) but then he put it in a mud puddle, CYCLED THE ACTION UNDERWATER, picked it up, and emptied the magazine with mud pouring out of the upper reciever. Indestructible and cheap, fun to shoot, more accurate (tighter groups) than an AK-47 at 100 yards (the Yugo and Russian SKS's, anyway; Chinese guns are ****) and they never misfire. The reason they're rattly, he explained, is that the tolerances are so loose in the machining that the action doesn't get gummed up with mud, dirt, ice, thorns, or the brains of the guy you were sharing a foxhole with. It ain't pretty, but every time you pull the trigger, it goes bang. You don't have to clean it, field maintenance is minimal, it breaks down into 9 big pieces that you can't lose in the field. Think post-Katrina. How are you going to keep a gun clean? :thinking: Now think zombies.

The same buddy says, "I'd rather have an SKS in my closet than an HK-91 in my dreams."

At my mother's house an hour away, in a safe bolted to the floor in her basement (I live in a hi-rise condo) I have my grandfather's pre-'64 (1949) Winchester Model 70 in .308 rebarrelled with a free-floated Douglas on a beautiful walnut stock -- the wood is almost black, it's so dark -- with Swarovski 12X50 TDS-Plex reticle glass (not original; she needed a crowning jewel and pawpaw woud be proud of the way she looks) ; my vamint rifle: a mag-fed Remington 700 with an ultralight stock in .243 -- my 16th birthday present, which I had outfitted with a new stock as I got larger and a Leupold 8X42 in mil-dot when I started making actual money; and a little bolt-action Marlin .22 with iron sights that I've had since I was probably ten or so. I've killed more with that little .22 than with everything else I own combined.

My wife has an Anschutz .22 target rifle (she experimented with biathlon in college -- insert jokes here) that looks like an alien death ray. It's cool.

In a custom hidey-hole in her nightstand she keeps her Glock 26, and in a matching hidey-hole in mine I keep my new Springfield XD40. We both have carry permits and we pack depending on circumstances.

And we're liberals.

Seriously.

I shot full-autos at a buddy's bachelor party in Vegas. Well, the afternoon before the bachelor party. I can take them or leave them. They were fun enough, but if I really needed a rifle to stake my life on, I'd rather have a pump shotgun, or a bolt-action .30 cal capable of putting a round up a chipmunk's ass at 300 yards. Both of which combined would be cheaper than a full-auto. JMO.

You didn't hear this from me :tapedshut but there is a trigger assembly mod for most pump guns that makes them fire as fast as you pump -- you just hold the trigger down. Instant street sweeper. Google it. You any good with tools?

I'm a firm believer in the adage, "Use enough gun." FBI stats, last I read, list .12 gauge big-game loads as generating 100% hit = stop. Which puts it at the top of my list. The .45 ACP with those old (now-illegal) Black Talon loads was 90%, IIRC. But we're talking my family's life. I want that 100%.

#1 buck, for those of you following this discussion who have no idea WTF I'm referring to, is 16, .30 caliber balls in the space of your spread hand at across-the-living-room range, (18" barrel, no choke.) That's comparable trauma to a full, 15-round mag from a .380 or 9mm, all at once, all inside the 8-ring with a center mass hit.

No way a paramedic can stop all that bleeding. Call a good carpeting guy while you're waiting for the ambulance.

I don't want to start a "my gun is better" argument, but all that damage for under $200, and no waiting period? Dream about AR-15's and HK's but with a reliable shotgun you can't -- won't -- lose.

Wow, I can't believe this thread is still going after all this time! I have added an SKS (yugo) to my collection, I bought it at a gun show, this baby went through a war already (Bosnia) - the previous owner had carved a cross in the butt of the gun, but I have no idea if he made it through the war in as good of shape as his SKS did. This thing is suprisingly accurate, and well balanced for such a long rifle. Shoots very well, and I must say I love it! I think it will make a great wild boar gun I'll let you know the results, hell I may even include some pics of the hairy critter after I bag him - that's some good eatin' lol!

Great minds think alike, My Mossberg is loaded with 3 #1 buck 3 .50 calibur sabot slugs. "have you ever seen what those do to livestock? the loads alternate, buckshot, slug buckshot slug. The strategy is to anihilate the target.

I'm a big proponent of the rifled sabot slug. My wife stood there with her jaw open when I nailed a wine bottle at 30 yards after sighting in the Trijcons. At 50 yards I've got about 6" of spread which isn't bad for a round that will **** up the engine of a Peterbilt or bring down a helicopter. (In Grozny the locals would hide on rooftops and take out low-flying Russian gunships with .12 gauges and deer slugs; they'd aim DOWN, and trash the lightly-armored propeller mechanisms. Look it up.)

And BTW, the .12 gauge slug isn't .50 cal. That's a common misunderstanding. It's just one RCH under 3/4", 0.74 inches, in point of fact, which makes it. . .

I love mine. Mine are the sporters, with the shorter barrel, but they're fine weapons and damn accurate. My buddy deer hunts with his. He uses hollowpoints and says they kill great. Under 100 yards you've basically got 30/30 ballistics, and the undergrowth here is so thick you rarely get a shot past 20-30 yards, anyway -- iron sight distance. IIRC, he has to put a special, 5-round mag in it b/c of local regulations, though. Check your hunting regs. :cop:

My bad. The saboted rounds would be smaller. A zero-choke .12 gauge is 0.74" ID, which is the caliber, IIRC, of a 1 oz. non-saboted deer slug. I'm still on pain meds up here.

.50 cal is still plenty.

You would be fine with a .12 gauge if you stay away from ultralight stocks, short barrels, and Magnum loads. My wife weighs 95 lbs and she can shoot our .12 just fine. 90% of handling a big rifle, IMO, is about the stance, using your weight, and not being afraid of the weapon. You probably know this, but you have to snug your shoulder up tight against the stock and let it kick through you into the ground, not shy away from it so it smacks you in the shoulder. A .12 gauge kicks hard, but once you learn to keep your feet under you and transfer the blow through your body, the kick should feel like only a fraction of taking a hook to the midsection. It'll startle you the first couple of times, that's all. Much like. . . well, much like taking a good hook to the midsection.

A wood stock is hella heavier than an ATS or ultralight; that'll take some kick out of the weapon, too. As will a good rubber pad on the buttstock. And Magnum loads are just ****ing stupid and a waste of money, IMO. You don't need them unless you're hunting seriously big game. Bear, elk, moose, cape buffalo, etc.

Of course, there wouldn't be much squirrel left for the stewpot if you nailed them with a .12 gauge. I've hunted grouse with my .12, loading with birdshot, and have blown their heads clean off more than once. Whoops. :owned:

EDIT: .10 gauges suck rocks. I put them in the same realm with .300 Winchester Mag, .44 Magnum, and .454 Cossol. Nobody needs that kind of firepower. If you have something so big or so mean trying to kill you that you'd need a .10 gauge, you probably deserve whatever they intend to do to you. JMO.

Watched his antlers working through a chokecherry thicket for about an hour, laid up behind a log where it came out, and plunked him at eight yards. He ran uphill into the clear, stopping every few bounds to look behind him, and then took one more jump and fell down. I got to drag a harvest DOWNHILL for a change.

That looks like hell on a hllside. He'd prob hit the trees if you tried to get em out of there before the shot to, I think I'd let him walk his happy lil ass to a more formidable terrain. Are they mulies up there? Back in Ten the majority is white tales not so big. I've trown a couple over my shoulder, that is after cleaning him out. The trees are thick as hell and of course it's a pain part of the fun I guess

WTF is the point of hunting deer...You don't need it for food..

And it doesn't make you a man, so why kill animals for no reason? I would understand if you HAD to kill to eat, but this is pointless...

To each his own I guess. Personaly I see it not only a primal male need, but an awsome rite to passage for a young man.
Thats one of the probs with society today. Men are not men anymore. Women are beautiful and wonderful creatures. but what is a queen without a yes you got it KING?

Yeah, we get mulies out here up to 300 lbs. I **** thee not. Breathtaking animals. Whitetails aren't quite as large, and out in the thick stuff to the west (Olympic National Forest) we get blacktails that are far smaller but way more fun to hunt. The problem is the Goddamn clearcuts, which seem to be on every mountain in any direction -- every mountainside within view has patches shaved in it like the head of a 12-year-old skateboarder with ADHD. The deer love their clearcuts, so you have to negotiate the slash in the dark to and from the bedding areas, as well as figure a way to get the bastards out if you tag. It's daunting work. You're happy some days when you DON'T tag one.

I usually clean and quarter onsite, hang it high, and pack it out in sections. Always hoping I'll find a bear at the bottom of the tree when I get back to load up for my 2nd, 3rd, or 4th trip -- got a tag for him, too. . . .

A bear with a recurve now that would take balls. UH oh I think I have a new goal. hmmm.

Yes mule deer are very impressive hadn't seen one til I came out west. I hunted in Utah. When I saw this 6 point standing in a meadow I sat in aww of the monster. Didn't even take a shot let him pass like I wasn't worthy of that type of trophy. Took a smaller 4 point later that weekend still huge by the standards I was used to.
got an elk that year to, had to quarter it and I was on horse back. I couldnt give away enough of that meat. I think it lasted a year. Got em with a riffle though missed the bow hunt for elk. 30 x .06 with a 12 x 50mm liapold Nice
300+ yd shot. waited almost 20 min for him to turn broadside.

a bear with a recurve hmmmmmm.

take on a grizzly with that

You could; it's the same target area. You just gotta be damn sure of your abilities and really know what the **** you're doing. Either one, when wounded, will kill you if they find you before they crash and bleed out. The difference is in the way you hunt 'em. If you're poking around in the woods and a black bear gets wind of you, and it perceives you as a threat -- sees you doing predatory ****, sneaking and peeking, dressed in camo (which confuses them, they don't like that!) and crawling around, generally doing stuff MAN doesn't normally do -- you'll never see it again. They can vanish like ghosts.

If a grizzly gets wind of you out there, and it senses you as any kind of a threat, it'll vanish like a ghost -- and then it'll start hunting YOU.

My medicine isn't that strong, sorry.

damn you scared me of ever bear hunting

Hell, I'm scared of ever fighting with 8 oz. gloves and no headgear. We've all got our thing. :grouphug:

The bear thing's not that bad: you have to stay downwind, get close, and have ice water in your veins. I've hunted bears a dozen times but the only one that I've taken the shot on was that one, above -- that was at my mother's house and I shot it from her deck. ("If yew ever shot a deer. . . from yer livin' room. . . yew might be a redneck!")

Seriously. I've passed on a bear five times (that I can remember offhand) in the forest b/c I wasn't sure I could make a shot that would put it down without it finding me -- or I didn't have an escape route handy. (Okay, once he was easy 400 lbs. and at the bottom of a canyon -- and my truck was on the far side of the next hill, quick math told me it would've taken me two days to get him out of there. . . I was just scouting the bottom of the canyon at the time, though bears were in season.)

Point being, I've watched bears walk right by me, never giving me the golden shot. . . but never seeing me, either. A bear hit through both lungs will be dead in about 5 minutes. Both lungs and the heart, maybe 2 minutes, and if you know you hit the heart, you might be able to outrun him if you've got a good, clear path and you're not worried about little things like, you know, shame. When bear hunting, keep an extra set of skivvies in your pack. Seriously.

The hide and the necklace of claws are on the wall at my mother's. She wanted to keep "my medicine" (mojo) in the home; she thinks it was a visitation of the Spirit of the Bear and holds my shooting of it to be a sacred moment in my development into manhood. (To which I replied, "Mom, I had to set down my Starbucks latte to make the shot, fer Chrissakes.") She was a professor of Native American History, married a Tribal Elder (my stepdad), and when he died she went hardcore native: her house is something you would not believe. She lives in a modern log home -- modern appliances, electricity, etc. -- but the decor is straight off the Great Plains. Cradleboard on the wall, beaded artwork, a buffalo skull, family robes, bows, all kinds of Indian artifacts and antiques belonging to my stepdad, whose grandfather was a medicine man, plus a bunch of stuff she's picked up in her travels.

I met a woman who hailed from Africa when I was younger, She had an amazing crib made of african tribal decor. Poisonous arrowheads and darts masks all kinds of strange and interesting artifacts strictly from her Ansestoral tribe. I have always found that type of pride in ones roots to be extremely admirable. I don't have just one background to adhere to. Irish, Scot, and Scandanavian. Might explain my strenght, drinking and love of combative contests. lol
Didn't you have to kill a bear in some tribes to obtain the rank of manhood?
