Self-defense. If someone breaks into your house and threatens your family, what are you going to do? Run around and cry?

Step on thier toe.

IMO a gun is not necessary in your own home I know how you wouldn't shoot anyone in your house if you couldn't identify them but if you couldn’t identify them you may just shoot on instinct without thinking anyway (I'm pretty sure everyone could do this no one is God and can't shoot someone unidentified on instinct, your aim could muck up and there goes your child.

No it's not necessary. It depends where you live.

before you know it the culture will spawn common households with sentry turret's, and criminal's with particle weapons.

A sentry turret in our house would be hawt :O

 

[houndeye]

I wouldn't mind sentry turrets, but I'd rather just have a couple of Heavy Weapons Guys standing in the lawn, a Sniper on the roof, and a Pyro guarding the back yard. No one could get my flag! I mean my stuff.

 

[SIGbastard]

I wouldn't really be worried about my stuff if somebody broke into my house. I have home owners insurance which covers theft. Anything material items can be replaced anyways.

 

[CptStern]

If a parent can't handle having a firearm and a child in the house they shouldn't have it that way, simple as that.

what a load of utter bullshit ..you obviously have children of your own and know how easy it is to keep them away from things they shouldnt touch

I have firearms for both recreation and security. I keep them in a 600lb gun vault bolted to the concrete foundation from the inside which takes a 6-digit code. My carry gun is either on me, in my safe, or in my nightstand when I am asleep. When he starts walking I'll definately get a small electronic lock box that takes a 5- digit code to set on my nightstand for when I am in bed. It's unlikely he could come across it in my sleep but it's not a risk I want to take.

Hollywood makes people think that only bad things result from civilian ownership of guns. It is a completely ignorant view that is only harmful to societies understanding of an inanimate object.

good to see a responsible gun owner

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

How is what I said bullshit? It's part of being responsible and knowing how to lock things away while at the same time being close and easy to access for an adult. Just because it's not in the gun cabinet or in sig's case his gun safe doesn't mean it's not secured.

Trust me, my nephews are definately not going to breach into the firearms closet. Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to, physically, get to the guns anyway.

How are they going to unlock it? If they do, how are they going to get into the cases? Then load it?

Sure, there's a possibility for anything. I can't say 100% that my house isn't going to burn down tonight either. It's about the same probability right there. Probably moreso for my house to burn down.

All the more reason to have a gun at home.

For a stainless 1911 I am kinda partial to an Ed Brown Kobra Carry. Another Semi-Custom 1911. I'll probably buy one after I am done with Dental School.

you've never gotten into something your parents locked? I had duplicate keys to the liquor cabinet by the time I was 14 and access to any locked drawer, cabinet, wall safe we had in the house

[ة الأسئلة الشائع]

Nice gun, how much you pay for that?

 

[SIGbastard]

The Ed Brown or Rock River Arms?

The RRA cost me $2k after the Black T finish and VZ grips. The Ed Brown Kobra Carry I just posted is not mine but I think they are a little over $2k.

 

[Vigilante]

Very, very nice. I've fired my Uncles 1911 colt. The shit kicks like crazy.

I just ordered a 1961 Yugo SKS...yugo FTW. Gotta wait for it to be shipped to the dealer.

Even though it's a Yugo, it's supposed to be an extremely reliable and well made arm.

If i had firearms in the home under lock and key, etc and children, by the time my child was 10years old, i'd take out the weapons and show them how to use the weapon, look after it and make it safe and take them down to ranges to allow them to fire the gun and use it responsibly.

So if for whatever reason, they were to stumble across my weapon, not only would they know how to responsibly and safely approach it but also have enough respect for it to make it safe, put it back where it should be and report it to me. Same if they were to come across a firearm in the street, which these days, isn't really that unlikely with so many of them being about round England, America, etc and i would presume Canada as well. Cpt Stern, you might be certain your son won't find a gun in your house but are you 100% certain that he won't find one in the park or in the street or in dustbins down the round or under some hedge somewhere. What do you think your son would do if he saw a gun in the park under a hedge, think about how he would approach it?

Nothing wrong with a Yugo sks. They are the most plentiful sks right now. I don't have one but they work just fine. You can get them in unissued condition for fairly cheap. I have a Yugo m48 8mm Mauser. I think it was $100 and was in pristine condtion. You gotta like surplus rifles. They are cheap, reliable, and fun.

 

[gh0st]

mauser ftw!

I'm so jealous, you can't own shit here.
"it was $100 and was in pristine condition"
You can just go and get a rifle.

If i want a rifle i can get a bolt action only and i have to do the following:
Live near a "certified range" (about 6 in the UK, lol) or be a deer hunter (scotland only really)
Have a safe costing £300 or more
Get checked out for like 3 months by the police.
And actually move house as well because i'm too close to a school....

 

[clarky003]

lol, are those old jeans stuffed with sand or beans or something..

the only modern weapon id like to have a go with would be the gas powered MP7 PDW I dont think you can actually own one, i dont know of any mock ups.

but we have a gas powered barretta, not real bullet's but we have point tipped steel pellets, its pretty dangerous in its own right.

Best thing to do short recoil, is to buy gas powered ones, there legal aslong as your over 21 and they stay within the confines of your own property.

 

[Kanehdian]

Wow, that looks like Snake's Colt 1911A1 from Metal Gear Solid 3! I would like to get an airsoft version of that since handguns are probably going to be banned in Canada soon.

so keep teh idiot's away from the guns, and the people who act like they have wet dreams about them.. just weird, ew.

 

[Shamrock]

The best gun ever made was the Mauser K98. Someone get that gun and tell me how it is. I love that gun so much. It is easily my favorite gun ever created.

A mauser is a mauser is a mauser. The german K-98's are certainly worth the most but for the most part all mausers are the same. Their furniture or bolt handle may be shaped a little different but they use the same action. You can get a Turkish mauser for $40 when they are available. I'm sure there are quality differences but if you just want a good shooter any 8mm mauser will be functionally identical to a K-98. The only difference between my M48 and a K98 for instance is mine uses a wide arc bolt handle. That's it.

The same thing as people and their mustangs, skylines and corvettes.

What the hell is up with them too?

At least corvettes weren't designed to kill people though.

By that age any child who resides in a house that has firearms should be trained to handle them responsibly.

That gun is awsome but after owning a glock, I really dont think I will go back to any other type of handgun.

 

[SIGbastard]

I don't think there's anything wrong with glocks they just aren't for me. The grip angle is completely different from any other pistol and the trigger leaves much to be desired. Still many such as yourself love them. My friend carries a G19 and I have shoot it fairly often.

They are definately reliable but not to a greater extent than many other pistols such as HK and Sig Sauer. I think they are pretty much equal in that departmant but they cost alot less. As a result of Glocks extensive marketing they are often touted as the most reliable firearm on the planet. One thing that causes some people to have problems with them is they will have feeding issues if you limp wrist the gun while shooting. This is obviously a user induced error but it is not a problem with other brands such as Sig. On the other hand they can be ran much drier more reliably than just about any other pistol I know of.

They are sold to law enforcement at highly discounted prices. That coupled with their utter simplicity is the reason they are so touted by police in the US and elsewhere. They are definately a great firearm for law enforcement as they require very little training and are extremely user friendly.

The one thing I really don't like about them is the fact that the chamber is not fully supported. This can cause real problems with higher pressure calibers like .40s&w or .357sig. That is why there is no shortage of pics of glocks on the net that have blown up.

That's my short take on Glocks. I think they are well designed guns but just don't work for me. IMHO it is best to stick with 9mm or .45acp if it is a glock.

Here's a faq on glock KB's: http://www.f-r-i.com/glock/FAQ/FAQ-kb.htm#1
This website is from a glock enthusiast. He is trying to entail how to minimize the possibility of a KB.

That is my take on Glocks.
