I'm so traumatized by this discussion that I'm going to the safe, picking out a shotgun and a coyote rifle, loading up the Labs and going pheasant hunting for the next 4 days.

Don't have to go to my gun club to get the guns, don't have to ask the local constabulary if I can borrow my guns back from them, don't have to ask anyone anything.... well, I asked the Labs if they want to go but then they ALWAYS say yes.

Oh... the angst of living in a place that has (shudder) guns!

You boys argue amongst yourselves. I think I'll go enjoy some shooting sports simply because I feel like it and have a hankerin' for some Pheasant Marsala. And maybe a few more yodel dogs for the fur rug in front of the fireplace.

A gun dos´nt shoot by itself, someone has kinda pull the trigger.
I am sure the same person that will use a gun for to inflict or threaten to harm other persons, would use a rock, a bat, a knife, fists, a car or a dog to do the same thing.

Yes, guns should be in every mans home, car, pocket, then the punks would maybe think twice. The violence in the world, by criminals, are just getting worse.

25 years ago, in Sweden, a murder would hit the newsposters stands, now the 10-20 people being shoot or killed every day, hardly makes but a small notice in the papers.

In general we have low criminality.
I really cant imagaine the rest of the world and the safty in the streets of USA/UK/RUSSIA or anywhere else.

I might have some liberal thoughts, but when it comes to guns, I do not agree. Every man should have the right to protect himself, his loved ones and his property.

Hehe, this board has gone into gun thread overload since about 2 weeks ago.

BTW Toad - I just got back from a walk in Howe Woods - part of the Chiltern Hills, where there are often guys pheasant shooting in season. I could hear the gunfire today about 2 miles away. No idea what was being shot at though.

I doubt those numbers are correct.

Another thread that proves:

I sincerely hope you're using a browning o/u for that pheasant work...it seems correct, somehow.

Real men use s/s

Toad · « **Reply #25 on:** January 12, 2005, 11:36:35 AM »

Nope. An SKB 585 Sporting Clays O/U.

For some reason those Japanese designers made the drop at comb and heel, length of pull, cast almost exactly to my required measurements.

As a result, it's the only "off the shelf" gun that fits me like a custom.

It such a wonderful thing to be able to walk into a gun store and buy a O/U that literally "fits like it was made for you". I like a gun that shoots where I'm looking without any real effort to make it do so. And to get one for ~$1300 at that!

I have a single shot Baikal, 12 gauge, 2 3/4"
Nice narrow spread.
For high alt seagulls, I use 42.5 grams BB

Of course I run ito other gunners all the time.

Yet, in my whole country, there has not been a gunmurder in years.
But again, we have no permit for conceilable weapons, at all.

(exception police and one shooting club)

So, there are hardly any handguns around, that's the good part.

My point is therefor that the best position to be in is with very few conceilable weapons around.
If however there are many many in the hands of all possible people,well, then everyone will need one.

Oh, and for the end, guns don't kill people, the bullets do

yes, I have one of thoose as well, cheap guns, very sturdy and best of all, they handle the steelloads well (lead ban). And, I dont have to be to affraid of dropping into the rocks or in the ocean. I paid 20 euro for mine. Got an S/S and a O/U from same manufacture, Baikal. But I never waste a 42 gram shell on a seagull. Skeet ammo kills them.
Death to the seagull and to the crows *flaptrash*!

Toad · « **Reply #28 on:** January 12, 2005, 02:12:00 PM »

That's interesting; seagulls are protected here. It's against Federal law to take them.

lazs2 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 12, 2005, 02:26:35 PM »

yep... against the law to shoot a seagull.

angus... so that we get this straight... you feel it is allright for everyone to own at least three longguns or... just you? is it handguns you are afraid of or concealled carry?

you really do need to do a simple search on the number of convicted wrongful deaths in the U.S. commited by the millions of legal concealled carry permit holders.

You will find that your fears are womanly and based on faulty "common sense" and hysteria.

oh... and we need to look at who is starting all the gun threads on this board. It really isn't the pro gun rights guys for the most part.
