If youre looking for a really heavy duty rifle, why not consider the M-14?

If you want compact go for an Uzi or a Mac10 (personal favorite). In between you got your MPs. If you want rifle, go for an AK or an M16 or if perhaps an HK or FN FAL. Now as far as shotguns go, dont forget to saw of the barrel. If you do that, you might not even have to pull the trigger.

Dont forget to get the manacing "I GOTS LOTSA GUNS SIGN".

LOL, just JKing.

Guns arent dangerous, people are. My 2cents.

I think there is a used Bushmaster here in Maryland...

Remember, guns are machined metal.  Your car engine is machined metal too.  Both end up in the hands of loving idiots.  I like when the gun idiot shoots himself, and not someone else.  I also like when the loving idiot driver kills himself, and not someone else.  Both a gun and a car's reputation are at the mercy of the loving idiot.  How many loving idiots do you know?

People who don't want to have a weapon around have never needed one. The first time you are in need, may be the last time you ever need anything.

I live in the south. Everyone grows up around guns. My father was from farm country in Miss and my mother is from farm country in Ark. There are areas in our country that are 60 miles from the police or sheriffs. You dont own a gun, therefore, you plan on never being threatened, never to have to defend a loved one or yourself, believe the Police will show up in time and think that everyone around you is the same as you, peace loving and warm hearted. Guns are a tool to those who know them and something to blame for deaths to those who don't know them.  Guns are designed to kill. Some things need killing in this world.

BTW..a good Walther .380 is a nice size pistol for women and and youngsters.

Nash That's odd... You don't have a gun. But now that yer kid is born you want one to show him how normal having a gun is.
 I am a procrustinator - what can I say? Too much paperwork hassle in NY City.

 I really did not intend that to become a social/political thread - just a technical question.


miko, why you always have to be so damn serious ?
 Good question... :)


 Thanks, Mav.
 I am almost set on getting a Mini - now the question remains whether mini-14 or Mini-30.

Hardcase,

What town or area of Arkansas are you from?  I'm originally from Dermott, but now live in the Monticello area.

The walther in the picture above is in .32 I had to order it.. plenty of .380's but i actually think the .32 is a better round.  both are a tad weak but the .32 penetrates clothes better and you get an extra round...  Oh... the other guns in the picture... The 1911 is in .45 as is the 1917 Smith but it uses full moon clips to hold the auto round in the cylinder (also the worlds fastest speedloader).  The two ruger redhawks are in .44 mag.   the short one is a custom gun with 4" barrel and dehorned hammer etc.

Miko,

I lean towards the mini 14 in .223 due to the variety of ammo available. You can get anything from plinking to hunting rounds. Not that the .223 is a serious hunting cartridge. There are just more choices available. The same for magazines.
