Chicopee John Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Although I lean heavily toward the NRA side of the equation - they do go a bit overboard, at times - I never was a gun fan. Long time ago, I worked with a guy who belonged to a shooting range. One Saturday, we went to the range with several of his Pistols (no rifles) and started shooting at targets. Within 15 minutes, I was bored stiff. Also years ago, we had 'Trap Shooting' during a 3-day conference in VT so I chose that over options such as Shopping, etc. It didn't help that I couldn't hit a flying object (or even a stationary one, for that matter) but I put down my rifle and watched others for an hour or so. Nothing against Hunters but it's not my cup of tea. Fishing is more like it but, at least to date, it's more of a beer drinking event than fish-catching event. More time for that once I start collecting SS in 5 or so years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have a few pistols, a shotgun and a rifle. I'm not a fanatic however. I've dealt with weapons professionally since I was 17 and its no big deal to me anymore. My biggest gripe is proper training in handling and safety. CCW seems to take care of that in Ohio.

The Cysko Kid Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have now 4 rifles two pistols and a shotgun. Three of the rifles and the shotgun were actually inherited and as anyone who's been around a while knows I've taken issue with exactly how easy it is to obtain firearms with no sort of measurable test for psychological fitness. But I'd rather deal with a psycho with a gun by having my own gun rather than a brick or a pointy stick. Usually I don't feel very threatened even in shitty areas but as my family and responsibilities grow larger it seems more prudent to deal with the fact that both the guns and the crazies are out there and they keep intersecting.

calfoxwc Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 So, a few months ago, we stopped in at a gun shop, and I was looking at the hipoint 9 mm carbine, and a 5.56 ar-15... and asked which one the clerk would buy. He said the carbine would be economical, and fun to shoot, with the same ammo we have already... but he said if it was him, he'd go with the ar-15 5.56, because... if the day comes you really needed it............ and left it at that. He also said the 5.56 ammo price could go way high in the near future, because Obamao may try to get it made illegal. And sure enough, Obamao and Batf are now talking about doing just that. I'm gonna have to have a talk with my ccw instructor about it. Maybe he'll let me shoot one out back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsForSquares Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 That ban on M855 ammo is being contested. Hopefully the public wins. I have a few AK74s that fire 5.45x39 and the cheap surplus was banned under the same pretense the ATF is trying to use to ban M855. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I got the hi point .45 carbine and the thing is a hell of a lot of fun. Everybody at the range wanted to shoot it. I must have gone through 500 rounds on the first outing. Usually i don't go to the range since i can shoot outside here but well ya'll know about the weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 The downside is that it only holds ten rounds. I think that's because it's so economical that if it held 30 rounds the democrats would be after it as a evil cop killer of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear there is some way to mod them to take glock magazines but I don't know how much of an undertaking that would be or if it could end with a non-functioning weapon if botched.

The Cysko Kid Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I have a magazine holder that clips through the skeletonized stock that holds an additional two loaded mags so it's not a big deal. I'm not keen on modifying it to accept glock mags because I don't want to void the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
