Unbelievable.... It will never happen. IMO...

ok, you've got 32 guns trained on an area and a little ground head pops its head up.... Whack a mole with massive artilery.

Hello,



Make it a bazooka and you might make the kill!

Not me. I'm the animal lover, remember

I went 'coon hunting outside of Waco, Texas when I was 17. Spotlighting them in trees and shooting between the glowing eyes with .22 rifles.

I always hated that..especially when the guys I was with were only there to kill something ...they didn't even take the tails ...which they had claimed was the whole reason for going. At least I didn't kill a coon ....killed an armadillo, but not a raccoon. Call me an animal-hugging pussy, but I ...just ...can't ...do it. I would end up mourning for the animal. I've always been that way

I never saw much sport in using a high-powered rifle with a scope to stalk a frightened, timid animal. And ...I don't like deer meat much ...too gamey :P

Now ...come around my house at night with malicius intent, and that's another matter I'd have no trouble shooting someone who was trying to seriously hurt me or my family

I mainly hunt threatening paper silhouettes, vicious carnivorous 6-inch steel swinger plates, and the occasional rampaging coffee can or beer can

Once in a great while, I'll go stalking a 2 liter pop bottle of water with food coloring ...using hollow-points Great fun watching those explode

And latex gloves filled with flour, hung from the target stand at 25 or 50 yards

Hello,

Cap - so you're a hunter who doesn't like to hunt huh????

I guess you like the feel of the weapon and how it shoots, not what you can do with it... (except those pesky door to door sales people huh??? ).

I'll hunt humans if need be, but nope. Not animals ...unless we went through WW3 and we all had to revert to hunting to put food on the table again. Then I would do it with no compunction.

And no, I don't get my acorns off holding my guns ...the feel of the weapon holds no mystique for me. It's like any other tool you can get very good at using ...or just passable.

And I like to think I'm a little too experienced to pop a boner whenever I hold a gun in my hands. Get real

I like shooting because it is a true sport. Even in the Olympics. I like the challenge of trying to hold a sub-3-inch 5-shot group at 100 yards with a handgun. Or trying to hit a quarter stuck to the top of the target stand at 100 yards with my .22 rifle

I like the recoil ...I like cutting the x-ring out of a paper target at 25 yards without touching the surrounding ring It's a matter of testing myself, and improving myself.

And I feel right at home breathing gun smoke all day, going home and spending the next three hours cleaning my guns, while drinking a beer and watching the ballgame on TV
