buckshot gives a nice kick. for starter - you might want to start off with low-recoil shells.

I own Springfield XD-9 Tactical and Remington 870. Looking into buying either Glock 36 or Glock 30 for CCW purpose. I'm also interested in US Survival AR-7

Then the blonde kept handing me the gun with it pointing me right in the face and she didn't see anything wrong with this... low-recoil, wheres the fun in that! :giggle:

So took the pup and the toys to the mountains for some target shooting, well got in a few hours before a family showed up and let me know they were hiking right behind where I was shooting... WTF they didn't ask me to stop just told me to have fun and yes they had kids with them. Damn some peoples parents! So needless to say I was not going to shoot in the direction of an entire family and decided to just pack up and head home.

Side note finally shot the 45 and I think I have a new HS crush :giggle:
 
another epic win - California's AB-962 (Ammunition Ban) has been ruled unconstitutional.

BREAKING NEWS: California Court Rules Ammunition Ban AB962 Unconstitutional « The Shooter's Log
In a dramatic ruling giving gun owners a win in an National Rifle Association / California Rifle and Pistol (CRPA) Foundation lawsuit, this morning Fresno Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Hamilton ruled that AB 962, the hotly contested statute that would have banned mail order ammunition sales and required all purchases of so called “handgun ammunition” to be registered, was unconstitutionally vague on its face. The Court enjoined enforcement of the statute, so mail order ammunition sales to California can continue unabated, and ammunition sales need not be registered under the law.

The lawsuit was prompted in part by the many objections and questions raised by confused police, ammunition purchasers, and sellers about what ammunition is covered by the new laws created by AB 962. In a highly unusual move that reflects growing law enforcement opposition to ineffective gun control laws, Tehama County Sheriff Clay Parker is the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. Other plaintiffs include the CRPA Foundation, Herb Bauer Sporting Goods, ammunition shipper Able’s Ammo, collectible ammunition shipper RTG Sporting Collectibles, and individual Steven Stonecipher. Mendocino Sheriff Tom Allman also supported the lawsuit.

The ruling comes just days before the portion of the law that bans mail order sales of so called “handgun ammunition” was set to take effect on February 1, 2011. The lawsuit, Parker v. California is funded exclusively by the NRA and the CRPA Foundation. If it had gone into effect, AB 962 would have imposed burdensome and ill conceived restrictions on the sales of ammunition. AB 962 required that “handgun ammunition” be stored out of the reach of customers, that ammunition vendors collect ammunition sales registration information and thumb-prints from purchasers, and conduct transactions face-to-face for all deliveries and transfers of “handgun ammunition.” The lawsuit successfully sought the declaration from the Court that the statute was unconstitutional, and successfully sought the injunctive relief prohibiting law enforcement from enforcing the new laws.

The lawsuit alleged, and the Court agreed, that AB 962 is unconstitutionally vague on its face because it fails to provide sufficient legal notice of what ammunition cartridges are “principally for use in a handgun,” and thus is considered “handgun ammunition” that is regulated under AB 962. It is practically impossible, both for those subject to the law and for those who must enforce it, to determine whether any of the thousands of different types of ammunition cartridges that can be used in handguns are actually “principally for use in” or used more often in, a handgun. The proportional usage of any given cartridge is impossible to determine, and in any event changes with market demands. In fact, the legislature itself is well aware of the vagueness problem with AB 962′s definition of “handgun ammunition” and tried to redefine it via AB 2358 in 2010. AB 2358 failed in the face of opposition from the NRA and CRPA based on the proposal’s many other nonsensical infringements on ammunition sales to law abiding citizens.

Constitutional vagueness challenges to state laws are extremely difficult to win, particularly in California firearms litigation so this success is particularly noteworthy. Even so, an appeal by the State is likely, but the Court’s Order enjoining enforcement of the law is effective – February 1, 2011 – immediately regardless.

Despite this win for common sense over ill-conceived and counter productive gun laws, additional legislation on this and related subjects will no doubt be proposed in Sacramento this legislative session. It is absolutely critical that those who believe in the right to keep and bear arms stay informed and make their voices heard in Sacramento. When AB 962 passed there was loud outcry from law abiding gun owners impacted by the new law. Those voices must be heard during the legislative session and before a proposed law passes, not after a law is signed. To help, sign up for legislative alerts at NRA-ILA :: and NRAMembersCouncils.com and respond when called upon.

Seventeen years ago the NRA and CRPA joined forces to fight local gun bans being written and pushed in California by the gun ban lobby. Their coordinated efforts became the NRA/CRPA “Local Ordinance Project” (LOP) – a statewide campaign to fight ill conceived local efforts at gun control and educate politicians about available programs that are effective in reducing accidents and violence without infringing on the rights of law-abiding gun owners. The NRA/CRPA LOP has had tremendous success in beating back most of these anti-self-defense proposals.

In addition to fighting local gun bans, for decades the NRA has been litigating dozens of cases in California courts to promote the right to self-defense and the 2nd Amendment. In the post Heller and McDonaldlegal environment, NRA and CRPA Foundation have formed the NRA/CRPA Foundation Legal Action Project (LAP), a joint venture to pro-actively strike down ill-conceived gun control laws and ordinances and advance the rights of firearms owners, specifically in California. Sometimes, success is more likely when LAP’s litigation efforts are kept low profile, so the details of every lawsuit are not always released. To see a partial list of the LAP’s recent accomplishments, or to contribute to the NRA or to the NRA / CRPAF LAP and support this and similar Second Amendment cases, visit NRA-ILA :: and CRPA.

If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat. Remember: Hold the person accountable for their actions, not the means they chose to utilize!!!
 
NEED to go to the mountains and give some much needed attention to my toys and relieve some stress, no not that I'm talking about going shooting teehee
 
I support 2nd admendment and I'm member of NRA. Funny about when people say I have right to bear arms and people objected it and then I say "I have right to bear dogs!!" Really, it's true story that right after Hurricane Camille, my father brought Remington 30-30 rifle because it's common whenever there's a big disaster happen, like hurricane, tornado or earthquake, crime rate spiked very high.
So, one night we decided to go out for dinner. Then we got home, I walked to the kitchen and corner of my eye there's something unusual, it's all red on the floor near the rear entrance. Then I decided to peek around the refridgerator where the door is located, I saw a large windows pane shattered in pieces, and heavy blood dripped down on the door. My first thought that something happen to my Great Dane, I yelled out "DAD!!!". Suddenly, I saw Kiwa show up in the kitchen (our Great Dane) and he look fine. No cut or blood on him. Then my father called the police to report it. Two days later, the police found a guy who try to break in our house died on the side of the highway. His left arm was shredded down to the bone badly. So he died by lost of blood. What police believe that he may have broken into the window pane to reach his arm over to unlock the door and Kiwa (which of course he's black and hard to see him at night time) bit his arm while trying to unlock the door. Kiwa have a powerful jaw and can break the bone.

So, I used to have .38 special.... but dog good enough!!

I think it was for emphasis. Sometimes reporters need to have things repeated clearly to them because they don't get it the first time. :lol:

nice find! but what do you mean you "found" them? were they long-lost somewhere in storage box or you made a lucky discovery at gun show?

Which gun is best for beginner?

any of them :lol:

there's no really a "beginner/intermediate/expert" gun. you just need to find one that you feel comfortable with because everybody has different taste, size of hands, strength, etc. and every gun has its own characteristic that you may like or don't like.

I was helping our elderly neighbor go thru stuff as she prepares to sell her house and move out of state. The small Italian pistol was in a purse, and the Belgium FN (from WWII probably) was in a manila envelope, taped shut. Both were unloaded. They were both in her Lane cedar chest (blanket or "hope" chest), with the linens. She found the purse in the chest and said she didn't want it. I told her to check it before sending it to Goodwill because maybe there is money or jewelry in it. She pulled out a cosmetic bag from the purse and handed it to me to check. I noticed right away that it was too heavy for make up. As she handed it to me, I asked why it was so heavy. She said, "Oh, yeah, it's a gun." Calm as could be. Me: :shock:

Then, a few minutes later, she brings me the envelope from the chest. I knew it was too lumpy and heavy to be papers inside. I'm thinking, "No way!" But yes, it was another gun!

This is after out excitement of a few weeks ago with finding (and discharging) her late husband's exploding tear gas pen, in my kitchen. Ack!
