Funny stuff.
No, dont have a rail gun, nor any lazers, no tactical light, not even any scopes, (other than a small one that came with a .22 rifle I got as a kid, and not sure where that scope is now).
But, among my small collection of handguns, no revolvers. Not particularly attracted to them.
No scope on my rifles, and I shoot trap and skeet with my old hunting shotgun, (changeable chokes though).
Dont feel the need to keep a gun loaded in the house, rarely have ammo even near a weapon. Not paranoid, and dont feel I need a loaded weapon to feel secure.
Yes, autos can help absorb recoil. Shoot the 44mag in a Ruger revolver, than shoot the 44 mag in a Desert Eagle. Big differance in felt recoil. Anyone with any experience with handguns knows that.
And NO, I dont not believe that we will ever experience a "SHTF" time or event in our lives, and I do not stock ammo and web gear for that eventuality.
The guns I do own and shoot I do so because I enjoy it. Like flying an airplane, or driving a nice car, I enjoy these pastimes because I appreciate that machinery, the speed, the whatever.
So, blabber on, insult me if it makes you feel better about yourselves, I dont care, I know who and what I am in real life, I enjoy the success in my life, family and career, and I just love seeing fools get torqued up about nonsense.
BTW I am typing this from a hotel/resort in Arizona where I am staying while on a business trip, and it is sweet. Later this month I am off to Rome again.
