Do you own a gun?

[HRMaddie]

I own one handgun, couple of shotguns and a few rifles. I use the shotguns and rifles for hunting. I will hunt just about anything that moves. These days my hunting is very limited, the kiddo is kind of taking up mine time, but that is okay with me.

Viral,

Are you SURE there are no shootings in the City since the younger Daly otlawed them?

And, C10, these people should be charged with a State or Federal Felony. If they bought a firearm illegaly, they are just as guilty as a Mafioso with a felony record trying to buy. OOPS, there ain't none of them in Chicago, are there?

I'm in the wrong place to speak of this, and politick is not much better, these days.

But those of yunz who think that removing a means of self-defence is a good thing, well, good luck, pipple. When they take your baseball bat away from you, as has been suggested here as a better option, whatcha gonna use? A frozen porkchop? (I get razzed when I mention the infamous "leg'o lamb")

Cheers,

George

That kind of looks like a 6.5 Swedish Mouser...my father-in-law has one, I have shot it...and I like it, very nice shooting gun.

Looks like the same thing to me... even looks like the identical package mine came in. Unless that's the real version of the gun?

OK...now the magic question...

How many of you who have guns registered them?

[Capmaster]

I refuse to answer on the grounds .......

[BJ_M]

OK...now the magic question...

How many of you who have guns registered them?

you dont have to in the USA do you ? (rifles and shotguns) ...

in canada you have to (everything but .22's)

[Capmaster]

Every firearm legally purchased here must have a federal form filled out.

They ask such tricky questions as " "Have you ever been convicted of a felony", or "Are you now using drugs"

All my guns have been legally registered except one, and it was inherited ...so no form.

At least if they ever come door-to-door with the registration forms in hand, wanting to confiscate them, they won't know about that one

[BJ_M]

yea -- i know about those forms .... about as useful as used notebook paper ....

I have filled out only few for stuff purchased in usa instead of Canada (legally ok to bring back over the border). Though walking into customs at the border with a rifle in your hand is always a hoot -- you see some people diving for cover (true) when you pull it out of the case
so they can check the serial number ..
specially my mini 30 which looks kinda like this - but my stock doesnt fold and i have a big fat aimpoint mounted on it ...




... taking a handgun across is also sometimes a experiance (also legal in some cases) ...

the registration system here is totally fubar'd. In many ways ...

[northcat_8]

Registration forms? What are those? seriously...never seen one.

[Capmaster]

Registration forms? What are those? seriously...never seen one.

You must have bought yours through classified ads or at gun shows before the forms became a requirement

[northcat_8]

Um...yea yea...that's right....BEFORE the forms became a requirement

[Doramius]

Shot Guns: 10 & 22 gauge

Rifle: .22

Tresspass on my property and I'll give anyone a free demonstration of their use.

[BJ_M]

22 gauge shotgun ?

[northcat_8]

22 gauge shotgun ?

it is Doramius...

[stiltman]

22 gauge shotgun ?

it is Doramius...

Must feel left out or something


edit:

Least it's bigger than a .410

[glockjs]

mossberg 12 gauge... gonna get a hand gun..some day just havnt gotten around to it. if anything im gonna get a glock 22c if not a glock a sig. nothin else. too bad automatic hand guns are illegal here

[Doramius]

It's a typo. I have 2 shot guns. a 10 & 12 My rifle is a .22

I think there is a 22 gauge shot gun though, or 20 gauge. Haven't looked in a while. I got my guns. I just ask for the ammo. What's funny is when I have people over and they want to look at my guns, I'll bring them out and say, Now where's the saftey on this thing. Always get raised eyebrows over that.

[Capmaster]

Gauges of shotguns the last time I checked:
4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 28,

And there was a special small size shotgun bore based on the English system utilizing decimal inches, similar to legacy US ammunition - the .410

The 4 and 6-gauge were ship-mounted anti-shark guns ...not shoulder weapons

The 8-gauge with a slug was also called an "elephant gun" by some old-timers.
