Is there a gun thread?

[cookie monster]

I love guns i been shooting since i was 10yrs old and have shot everything from target, skeet, animals to shooting at some asshole trying to rob my house. I belive every female should carry a gun to protect themselves cause guys are going to think twice about shit if they know they will get shot. I am more inclined as a girl to shoot to maim that way the person has time to reflect on how they got shot.

I don't know anything about guns, but if I were to ever get one I'd want it to be that one. Looks awesome.

I've never been in that situation, but I'd shoot to maim too. Except I'd keep going until the clip was empty.

I'd like to get a revolver of some sort, preferably with a long barrel. Every time I see something like that though, the seller wants $400 or more for it.

The odd thing is, in most places in the US, intentionally maiming is illegal in comparison to killing in self defense. A shot to the shoulder would be enough to stop most criminals... but that's illegal if they can prove it was intentional. Weird how laws are.

ForlornDrifter, it's because using a firearm is seen as deadly force, no matter where you shoot somebody. It's in the nature of a bullet to be destructive, and a shot in the shoulder could be just as deadly as a shot to the chest. Also, if you told a DA that you only wanted to maim somebody, they're going to assume your life wasn't in danger, hence you were wrong in pulling a gun.

BoringSupreez, depending on the revolver, $400 is probably a good price for most brands.

Also, it's magazine, not clip. Sorry, but after having to do push-ups every time someone said the wrong thing around an instructor, you want everybody to get it right .

i fired off a few rounds from an AR-15 once and a 9 milli. Some of us guys took a weekend excursion out into the middle of no-where in PA around State College to a cabin for the weekend, nothing but guns and liquor. Looking back, i'm glad no one got shot that weekend.

I own a Colt .38 Special, stainless steel, single action. Six inch barrel, but one day I would like a snub nose. It looks like a toy, until you fire it.

I'm thinking about purchasing a Taurus PT-22. Sucker fits on your pocket.

lol thanks. There are several other guns out there that are much cooler than the 92fs, but I do still love the gun. It's got a classic "70s cop movie" look to it. Eventually I'd love to get me a 1911. In fact, the 1911 was my next gun that I planned on getting. I wanted to move up to a 45, but I just decided to stay in the 9mm caliber for a couple of reasons. For one, 9mm ammo is half the price of 45 ammo. You can get a box of 100 9mm's for $22, or you can get a box of 50 45's for that same price.

Also this gun was much cheaper than a nice 1911. And it's almost brand spankin' new.

My Father loves his Colt 1911 and one day I might pick one up. I tend to prefer revolvers as there is no safety, and when you point it at someone they know the gun is loaded and you're not fucking around.

I have a Sig P229R .40

Got a good deal on it. I take it to the range occasionally and have Iraq for home defense. Though I do eventually want to get my CHL and carry it in my vehicle with more eease.

I also want a .357 magnum revolver at some point as well haha.
