Gun people question..

[Henny peeny]

As far as I know it is illegal to own a fully automatic weapon in the USA, there was a time you could own one but you had to have a very good reason and to be a gun collector or self protection was not good enough and if you could get one (this is the 70's I talk of if you could) you had to go through a lot of red tape. Now that 911 has happened they don't let the average joe just get one.

BUT this has never stopped me if I was disabled to try, you never know if you don't try, I think you should get a gun safty classes in order to know how to use a weapoin such as this and learn how to shoot first. this is the first steps and I think you should see what it is you have to do some states you need to get a permit to won a gun a buy one and take classes before you buy it. you need to see what the laws are owning one. go to a sgun store and see what you like, get one that you can hold in your hand.

I was lucky to have a friend that had a gun shop, and I was able to shoot some off before I bought them I had one a 9 mm short it seemed ok but when I shot it off it hit my thumb knuckle and it hurt this was not good if I was to shoot someone I would not be able to shoot right. I wanted a big one so then a 9 mm this was way to big for my hand I stuck with the 25 cal this was nice it fit my hand and I was able to shoot pretty well. I saw a dinlinger I said that little pea shooter would just get the guy mad the friend said it killed we had a killing not long ago and a 22 cal did the job, Just has to get a vidal.

I was ask where would I shoot someone, in the head of course a... nope where youshoot in the biggest part of the body the chest the stomach and if you know your anatomy you will do well. A head shot is hard unless you are right up to the person or you have a laser on it which I didn't. you kow something to think of. You don't put a gun on anyone UNLESS you mean to use it and if you find you can'r pull the trigger the gun is not gonna do you a bit of good. and you also need to think the gun can be taken from you and used on you things are hard in a pinch and in a rush. Please think about it, and never ever ever have a gun loaded in the house. exspecailly with kids of any age.

We have guns and they are in a gun cabnet and I have one that is in the our bedroom in case of any trouble never have and most likelt never will but I have it the ammo is close by it is a one shot 20 cal all ammo is not in reach of kids.

Think about this long please and do what ever you think you should.

PS when I came out here to NC I still had a 25 but I never told a soul I had one I was moving my things from PA to NC and my folks found out I had one it was unloaded but I had back then Glasers this type woud de sin na grate as it went through the body and follow the bones tearing as it went through, I don't know if them make this type but I had them for a while and sold it finally. NEVER SHOT IT AT ANYONE

I know someone who had a man come up to his house and offer him an automatic rifle.

Not true. You can but they have to be registered with the ATF. You also have to live in a state that does not ban them. Georgia does

No #9 here...lol.

That's what's in the 45 shot shells unless you're loading your own

 

[rebelcowboysnb]

I think the shot in my .38 shells is closer to dust than shot.

I really don't understand the question. If you can't use the auto, then you can't use it period, and would have to use a revolver. But, if they are both loaded, I don't see the difference except reloading and ejecting a shell in.. Which do you think is carried the most by people who's lives depend on it like cops, revolver or semi-auto? As someone who has many weapons and shoots alot, I can tell you I have a few semi-auto's that have never jammed. One is a witness 9mm compact. They are very accurate right out of the box and many are used in competition shoots. I know there are some magazines that are defects and cause jamming all the time, I have bought some after market ones. Also, in some mags if you keep them loaded for a long period it will loose the spring action and cause a jam. I agree with others, a good home defence weapon is a good pump 12ga, 18" barrel and buckshot. With the shorter barrel the pattern will have a wider coverage than a longer barrel. I also keep a few pistols throughout my house in 9mm.

Here is a extremely edited version of the conversation that prompted the question.

Quote: Still, if you aren't able to clear a jam or a stovepipe, you're all done and might as well not be armed. in my experience with teaching new shooters, stovepipes are pretty common on the first shot if the person is weak wristed and the gun is sensitive to that... I suspect they don't anticipate the amount of recoil and aren't prepared with as solid a grip as they need to prevent it. with a weak shooter, unless they'd trained reliably with the particular semi-auto and had no stovepipe problems, I'd be concerned about them being unprotected after one round because of a jam/stovepipe problem they can't clear.

Thats what happened to me a few years ago. Failure to eject the first rounds cause I shot to fast an from the hip. Being as I could not clear it I then had a very short club.

yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking about.
hope it was an exercise and not a real situation
