My shot guns.... (I call my 12 gauge The Monster) It's an older Mossberg Police Riot gun. It holds 8 in the custom tube and 1 in the chamber. I use it as a planter.... just $hitting ya. It's a "work implement". My old bird gun is an old Remington Wingmaster 870 in 20 gauge. I've had that old gun for 30 years or better.
All of my guns are in my safe. The only gun that is always out is my carry gun. My kids are 16 and 18, both know how to operate the gun in the event of my unexpected absence. The wife..... she knows how to clear the gun and that's about it.
Jason has several of his own...His 12 Gauge is a Mosberg and it holds the same..1 in the chamber and 6 inside...He also has 2 pistols..A sig Full size .45 and a Glock 9mm...and several level and bolt action rifles..But ALL of our guns and ammo are in a locked combo safe (which) he spent a lot of $$ on and I was pissed at first.. and he and I are the only ones that will EVER know the combination..
"I have a fair amount of rifles. (All of them are at home not killing anyone because of the talk I had with them the other day.)"
Lol...You're fresh!!!
"So... your shot gun..... what's she hold? 1 in the chamber and what 5-6 in the tube/magazine?"
1 in the Chamber and 6 in the tube/magazine....
I've got lots, so I wont go through it here. You guys already know I'm a gun guy. Truth of the matter is, I have 2 semi automatic pistols.... I have only 2 shot guns.... I have a fair amount of rifles. (All of them are at home not killing anyone because of the talk I had with them the other day.)
So... your shot gun..... what's she hold? 1 in the chamber and what 5-6 in the tube/magazine?
Oh and my .38 special..(Kitty..lol) is a Smith & wesson...
My Lucille is a Winchester pump action, My .45 is a Sig Sauer semi-auto compact, my 22 is also Winchester lever action (That's actually JJ's..My son). Jason's AR is a Stag...You?
Wait a minute.... didn't you say semi autos weren't necessary? (Or did you say that it was okay to quit making them?)
I own (2) semi-auto pistols, a 5-shot "Judge", and a .300 Magnum hunting rifle.
They were all purchased legally and lawfully...
You want them... come and get them.
(that's a bit silly of me to say, and I'd NEVER have a "stand off" if some sort of governing-body came for them, but i think I'm making my very weak point, hopefully)
"Just TRY getting me to give up my Glock G17 9mm... I dare ya."
You sound like My Jason..he has no problem giving up his AR but he says NOTHING else....lol
The point you make about protecting yourself with guns years ago is moot. Crime was different then and more importantly not as prevalent.
What kind of 12 gauge do you have?
I won't be handing in any of my guns. I bought them lawfully, I own them lawfully and the government doesn't get my guns.
Just TRY getting me to give up my Glock G17 9mm... I dare ya.
"My semi automatic pistol holds 8 rounds, my rifle holds 10-30 depending on the magazine. My Mini 14 shoots a .22 caliber bullet and can hold between 5 and 20 with the magazines I have."
We actually have pretty much the same kind of guns with exception of the mini's..My point is we don't need all those shots...If a person can't get it done in 6 shots, then that person needs more Gun training by a professional....
I personally don't think Auto or Semi- Auto guns should be owned by civilians even though I own a few...I say any gun that is NOT auto or semi-auto is good enough for home protection. If the Law says having any Auto-or Semi-Auto Gun is Illegal, I will be more than happy to hand mine in. At least I still get to keep my Lucille (12 gauge)..She'll protect me just fine...People did it years ago way before Auto and semi-auto guns were even made for civilians...
My semi automatic pistol holds 8 rounds, my rifle holds 10-30 depending on the magazine. My Mini 14 shoots a .22 caliber bullet and can hold between 5 and 20 with the magazines I have.
So my semi auto .22's are okay? One is a pistol and one is a rifle.... Would my mini 14 or my mini 30 be okay? They aren't AR's or AK's?
NOT Auto and semi auto AR's, clips that hold 30 rounds of ammo..So to answer your question, my shotgun, my .22 hunting rifle, and my .38 special (with a hammer)..
(Now.... what is necessary?)
I'm not Anti Guns. I'm anti unnecessary guns....I will get rid of the unnecessary guns that I have if that is what the law says.....BTW I'm your pro sensible guns friend though:)
