Re: Help choosing a gun

I think it's a good idea to leave the chamber empty on a pump shotgun for home defense. The unmistakeable sound of the slide slamming a round home could be warning enough for a thief or intruder to haul ... away from there! Zopperman, Your professor sounds like a complete idiot. Too bad lots of them with that mindset these days are trying to put their warm and fuzzy ideas of utopia into the heads of young impressionable students. I bet the bad guys appreciate that!. I like the way evedently smart people refuse to acknowledge real facts/ statistics on guns and people who own and use them responsibly for all kinds of activities including personal and property protection. They seem to only see facts about the accidents and incidents of insane gun users. You can kill someone w a hammer, It's a tool just like a gun is. Both are very effective when used properly, dangerous when not. Just this morning, 4 am a 70 year old newspapper stand deliveryman In Durham N.C. had a nut steal his truck and fire a shot at the old man as he approached, the victim pulled his 357 and fired 5 rounds at the guy apparently wounding him. His stolen truck was found a mile away w shattered glass and blood in and trailing away from the truck. I bet the sob will think twice before stealing another vehicle. If your professer bullies or intimidates you or others in class for your different views, I'm sure the NRA could help you with that, They love that kind of stuff:D

Didn't wind up getting the beretta. But.. in my sociological class (Law and society) I have a teacher who is very opposed to gun rights... and I'm currently writing a paper about how there need to be more federal regulations on guns... and I feel sick to my stomach from spewing up a bunch of BS :D

That's not education - it's indoctrination.

Professors like those make me absolutely sick. If you wish to be ballsy zopperman, I can provide you with stats and real world information to support a 2A paper. He won't be able to counter it as Antis base their views on emotion. I can also provide you some NRA decals for his car. LOL

I agree with the gun safe and separate location for the ammo. Leaving a few spent casings on every window sill in the house seems to work pretty good as a early warning system for burglars. It's like saying "I have a gun and I know how to use it, enter at your own risk". I know it freaks the cops out! LOL...

When I lived in a more rural area, I had some large, well shot, hand painted on plywood, torso targets near the start of the driveway and a few in the backyard along w the No Tresspassing signs.

Zoppeman, be sure you remove the flashlight/laser if you use the shotgun for hunting. The game warden won't like that at all!!

Really? any particular reason? That's interesting..
I might take it off (or just get another one since it was so cheap) and get a scope ring for the bottom weaver rail on the rifle.
thanks for the warning, and merry Christmas to you and yours!!

Number one, very important: Take a safety course.
two Avoid semi auto, they are always chambered with a live round and ready to fire. Not safe
in inexperienced hands.
three Get a standard caliber, research the prices and availability. Consider bbl life of standard
power vs flash in the pan of magnums.
four Don't be boastfull or wave things around. Bad for PR.
