This is just another difference to add to my list. I'm Australian but this year I'll be visiting the USA for a few months. It seems so strange that you can legally shoot in America when it's strictly forbidden here.

That is actually a very bad idea.

1. Don't tell them where you are. Unless you know where they are, that they're alone (or, in the case of two or more people, together), and you have them at gun point, don't approach them or make your presence noticeable. Just call the police.
2. They may be armed. Unfortunately, unless it's a decent slug, a shotgun round will not be lethal to them through the wall; let alone the speed at which it fires and reloading time. A FMJ round out of a semi-auto rifle will put you in immediate danger. They can just barrage you with bullets through the wall and you're dead. Again, very bad idea to let them know where you are and that you're armed.
3. You should always hide and call the police instead of trying to threaten the intruders. Unless you're in Texas, it's illegal to shoot someone that didn't threaten your life. Your best bet is to grab your phone, grab your gun, go to a safe place and hide, then call the police and wait there. If you need reasons why you shouldn't confront the intruders, refer to points 1 and 2.

It's best, even in these cases, to avoid unnecessary violence and call the police. Even if you had a fully auto M2 Browning (50 BMG) held to the intruder's head at point blank, you're still risking your life to prevent items from being stolen. Not worth it.

this is good advice, but you can shoot someone threatening your family/possessions in Oklahoma as well...I think in Florida and maybe Virginia as well.

Why is it strange? We aren't harming anybody by doing it and it's fun.

I'm pretty sure it's legal for tourists to shoot guns in the U.S.

You should see about borrowing a gun and shooting it while you're here before you go back to Australia where you can't.

My friend and I were recently talking about myself getting chickens again. I mentioned that I only wanted hens bc I don't want chicks, just eggs. First she said but are you getting males or females. Again I said hens... she said but what are you getting chickens or roosters? It was like the joke who's on first. I was confused. She was confused. She grew up thinking all chickens are called hens. And that chicken meant female lol.
Then she asked why I didn't want a rooster. The chicks will hatch out of the eggs even without the rooster right? Just around and around lol So funny.

Why are you guys so intent on sucking the fun out of this thread? There are valid arguments for any side of any discussion. There are valid places to discuss them. This isn't one of those places. This is supposed to be fun. I might unsubscribe.

same here
