The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[Davis Knowlton]

If anybody is interested I could post up some pics of the guns I want to buy one of these days.

I'm going to need a revolver, a shotgun, a rifle ...

Probably go with a 1911 for the handgun. And being a humble type I'll go with the concealed vice open carry permit.

For my shotgun will most likely go with a Mossberg 12 gauge. Will probably need two shotguns as one will be for trap and skeet shooting

Hands down going with a Cooper model 30-06 for the rifle.

Don't know much about semi automatic weapons but interested in recommendations.

Well, for the handgun, I've got a Kimber .45 Custom. For shotgun Mossburg 12 pump. For rifle, M-2 carbine. For auto, Thompson .45 and a Car-15,

[panama hat]

What a bunch of fucktards.

... You're the dude that complains about name-calling in place of reasoned debate, right?

So I guess, alls fair.

If any of you could actually have a civil debate without flaming or infantile tactics, I would have a much higher interest level.

What a bunch of fucktards.

None of you really have a clue, do you?

It seems tat is not what hose in pkwer want

Clearly you're the only one who does

Years ago when in Japan people (Americans) used to talk about the quality of the shotguns made here in Japan and make plans to buy one shortly before PCSing back to the states. Don't hear much about it anymore but pretty sure a couple models of shotgun are still made here. My understanding is the quality is top shelf.

Storekeeper, you can't beat the AK-47 for reliability and good track record. I am thinking about purchasing one when I get back to the US. I already have an Akkar 12 gauge HP loaded with slugs in my closet.

Too many hoops to jump through to get one legally. Just want something I can fire a short burst at if I happen to experience a home invasion. Something that will rip an arm or leg off. Nothing better than cruising to a shooting range in big old has guzzling V10 and then shootin' up some shite.

Arghhhhhh ...

[Norton]

I'm packin heavy. Silenced. Fully auto fire. No reload.

[Storekeeper]

^ Reminds of the old days standing security watches with a baton wondering what the heck I was gonna do with it if more than once person tried to get inside the perimeter of the base. The baton has been my home invasion weapon of choice for many years. Not anymore though ... this time when I go back it will be a 1911.

[Neverna]

Well I have learned namecalling and personal attacks are all part of the SC

Shouldn't be. Members and mods need to clean it up or shitcan the forum. A waste of bandwidth. Posts mostly a succesion of pedantic bickering and one ups manship.

"Speakers Corner Air your opinion on current world affairs. A forum for civil discussion and exchange of ideas. No flaming or abuse allowed. All posts should include your opinion on the subject, not your opinion of the member posting."

Norton, it has been quite noticeable for a couple of months that the "rules" for Speakers Corner have not been adhered to and the mods let it slide. The forum guidelines should be updated to reflect the current policy (or the current policy changed).

you pay peanuts...

[fishlocker]

I've a FRANCHI SPAS 12. The owners manual states it is a sporting purpose auto shotgun so they would be more marketable in the states. Its heavy as hell. I like my Browning BPS upland special with the western stock. Beautifully engraved receiver. Swings like a dream and ejects the spent shells straight down.

For Turkey hunting I have a semi auto Mossberg thats done up in camo. It was voted Turkey gun of the year back in 1994 when I purchased it.

For deer and larger I use a Browning A Bolt stainless steel Stalker 7mm magnum with the Boss muzzle break/ ballancing system.

For plinking an SKS, Ruger 10/22, Bushmaster and other assorted goodies.

Home defence an Sig Saur. It never jams. Never needed it but you never know.

[fishlocker]

A while back I was in my livingroom room and I kept hearing loud scraping sounds comming from the master bedroom. I thought someone was trying to break into the house.

I pulled the Sig out of the quick safe and snuck out the front door and made my way around the house.
Much to my surprise their were two steers in the back yard. One was grazing on the grass next to the house. Its horns were scraping the side of the house . They had escaped from my niebors pasture. What a relief.

[Neo]

And you needed a gun to do that ..?

[rickschoppers]

No, that was to blow away an intruder who meant harm to Fishlocker, or his family. Self protection is something not understood in those countries with gun regulation. I do not understand allowing harm to come to loved ones because laws prohibit self protection.

That is why I have a loaded shotgun in the US.

[AntRobertson]

I do not understand allowing harm to come to loved ones [...] That is why I have a loaded shotgun in the US.

I do not understand how people can talk about 'harm to loved ones' in one breath and then loaded guns in the very next sentence.

According to American Academy of Pediatrics 10,000 children are killed or injured by guns every year and a lot of those from guns kept in the home.

The stats show that a gun in the home is more likely to result in the death of a 'loved one' than it is to prevent a home invasion.

Self protection is something not understood in those countries with gun regulation.

That's ridiculous.

[fishlocker]

And you needed a gun to do that ..?

Well at first I thought I'd show up with ten bucks, a card and some flowers.

[hazz]

And you needed a gun to do that ..?

paranoia and fear are crippling.....

[panama hat]

. . . to the state of needing to go to Starbucks with semi-automatic weapons.

Yup, land of the free and home of the brave.

[Storekeeper]

Mossberg 12 gauge ... Ain't she a beauty?

[bsnub]

Too many hoops to jump through to get one legally.

What do you mean? You are in Washington state right? All you have to do is go to the local gun shop and pick one up. All you have to do is wait about ten minutes for the background check. I have owned several AK's over the years.

[spliff]

^^ Ithaca's are much better, IMHO.

[Storekeeper]

M1911 ... sturdy and dependable. Only hand gun you'll ever need. If properly maintained will last through decades of target shooting. And of course it will put a huge hole in anybody who threatens your life:



Arghhhh ... argh ... argh!

I've got one my grandfather brought back from WW1...good as the day it was made. Been in the family almost 100 years.

Mr. Ant, where did I ever state there were any children even remotely close to my personal weapons in the US? Again you jump to incorrect conclusions. For your information, I have never owned a weapon, loaded or unloaded, while my children were growing up. Only after they all moved out of the house did I purchase anymore firearms. So you see, you are WRONG.

When I visit the US, I stay at my deceased parent's house that my sister now lives in. She is a widower and never had any children. My son and wife stay in Thailand so as not to interrupt his schooling. I was a Marine and have been trained in all weapons up to and including a M-60 machinegun, so I do know a little about gun safety. I also hunted for years before getting married and having children. All my rifles and pistols were sold before I had kids. So you see Ant, we are not all crazed Merikans as you and many others seem to think. Sorry to disillusion you.

This 30-06 is a work of art. Not too familiar with rifles but I think this one would be more than capable of bringing down a nice sized elk in WA state:
