I've never owned a gun, but a couple buddies at work are big hunters/gun owners and it's gotten me interested. I'd like to eventually have one of each of four types: handgun, shotgun, small rifle, big rifle. After talking to my buddies a lot and seeing a few good sounding online sources (here's one I thought was good), I'm trying to decide on actual guns now, and which one or two I should start off with. Home defense and target shooting is probably more of a consideration over actual hunting, so I just wanted to see if anyone had some good recommendations.

guns for the sake of owning guns is fucking retarded.

and before you call somone a hunter, ask them if they shoot open sights and butcher their own meat. If they answer yet to both questions, then they can call themself a hunter.

yeah I agree... a larger caliber rifle would probably be last on the list.

buying a bunch of guns for "home defense" is the same thing as buying a fucking 4x4 diesel pickup truck "in case it snows" rolleyes.gif

Owning a gun for the sake of having a gun is exactly what im all about. I dont ever plan on using a gun except for occasional target practice. I just happen to like guns. People collect all sorts of shit, i don't see why owning them for the simple fact of liking guns makes you more retarded than someone collecting other things that don't actually have a use.

Like dogmeats porn collection for example.

If you'd like to come over to my house and scan my computer in search of a porn collection you're more than welcome and you can use whatever undelete utilities or what have you that you see fit smile.gif

What is fun about target practice? It's boring and it's ultimatley a waste of time unless you're going to kill something.

Wow. A bottle I shot exploded. I think I'll go watch a moth get caught in a bug zapper next! YAY!

what is fun about anything you don't enjoy?

nothing, to you, which is coincidentally why you don't partake in it. funny concept




for pistols, i'd go with a Glock 9x19. i prefer the 17L model.

the 19 is also a nice alternative. it's smaller and easier to conceal.


don't pay attention to anything the rap community says about Glocks. they are top of the line, easy to use pistols
