every single 10c member and every single u.s. citizen should (for their own education on this subject) take a firearms course at their local firing range. it is for your own good. i feel you can add better & clear to a debate if you no more about the topic.
i can't add to a topic on 3sums because i have not ever participated nor wish too. i cannot debate fully nor elect to throw it out if i have not had a homosexual experience.
i firmly believe many here would be better off fully knowing they can defend their loved ones 29 minutes quicker than the cops who are over 20 miles away. maybe the lawmen are actually only 1 minute away. in 1 single minute or second bad things happen.
at this exact moment i feel like a doorknob for not owning a gun.
I think opinions can be thrown in the ring though (hell knows I've got more than a nickel's worth to toss in on various subjects, menages a trois included!)
A shooting lesson is likely in my future - something I'll probably try at some point - and while I don't feel bad for not owning a gun, I see no reason for me not to, should I choose to do so.
well said, hedonist. if you chose to then bygolly you have the right too.
No to all..But I have handled a rifle..an M16A2..load and unload, break it down and put it back together..Was in the Marine Corps and earned expert marksmanship.
well that kicks ass. taking apart your rifle & putting back together (i assume w/ timed tests) is pretty impressive stuff. lotsa springs & clips & stuff in there huh? bolts & slides

here is your safety course
1. always treat a gun as if it is loaded
2. never point a gun at something you don't wish to shoot
every single gun is treated as if loaded. fact.
handling a gun requires calmness & clear thinking. picking up a gun & passing the barrel across your dude's chest as you bring the butt of the weapon up to your shoulder (for example) calls for an ass whoopin.
like 81 says... ALL GUNS ARE TO BE TREATED AS IF LOADED & READY TO ROCK
never in a billion years point the barrel in the direction of anyone. the floor or ceiling or walls get the bullet, never your guy. and why the frig have your finger on the trigger unless squeezing one off? as a matter of fact a gun can go off without squeezing the trigger... point the fucker at the ground. you'll save lives...
The gun safety course I took as a youngster was something that I'll never forget.
And we even got to shoot trap at the end of it
sweet. did you do well @ hitting a clay bird? all of us should do this at some point in our lives. and if we own a gun or guns we should attend these courses more than once in our life time.
i did this course when i was young to get my hunting license. we shot trap at the end too & even crossed a fence only after unloading the gun & going through all that stuff before crossing the fence.
lots of hunters shoot themselves or others whilst crossing a fence out in the wilderness. good job, assholes.

Yep! Unload the firearm, put it on the other side of the fence, cross over, if you have partners take their firearms for them... make sure they aren't pointed at you.... load up, check the safety, carry on.
I did do pretty well at it. I used to shoot trap every sunday when I was 13.
1. have you ever owned a gun? yes
2. have you ever picked a gun up? yes
3. have you ever fired a gun? yes, been hunting since i was 10. (i'm 35 now)
4. do you know how to load & unload most guns? yes
I also live in New Jersey which has some of the toughest gun laws in the United States. I have no problem with back ground checks because I have nothing to hide. To buy a handgun here you need to get fingerprinted (which are sent to the fbi), two references, a letter is sent to your employer, and the state does a mental background check on you. after you do all that you are entitled to buy one handgun. you wantto buy another i'm pretty sure you have to repeat the process. your "coupon" to buy the handgun is good for six months.
for rifles and shotguns you get a rifle/shotgun permit card. with the card you can buy as many weapons as you want. so I could legally walk into to a store and buy 25 ak-47's if i want but only one handgun. go figure.

i dont get it

My oh my.... thank you for that. Very interesting.
dimi it's new jersey, nothing makes sense here. next time you're here i'll bring you shooting. an m-1 garand is my next purchase.
for the rifle/shotgun card i had to get fingerprinted as well. you can legally get a handgun without going through the steps to get a rifle/shotgun card. but you can't buy "handgun" ammunition without possessing a rifle/shotgun card. Keeping up? lol.
so a rifle my buddy owns fires a 9mm bullet, is that techically a handgun round still?
oh and in new jersey magazines are limited to 15 bullets so this magazine reduction ban that everyone keeps talking about really doesn't effect me, unless they go down to 10 bullets. then i guess my 9mm will be illegal. lol.
so yeah in nj, i can go out and buy as many rifles/shotguns as ii want in a day. before you buy each gun they call state police one last time to make sure you are a ok (a typical background check). this costs you an additioal $15 per transaction.

it is a fucking mess. the whole "application" process usually takes anywhere from 1 to 3 months. You're telling me a criminal is going to wait 1 to 3 months to buy a gun? and it's nearly impossible to get a concealed carry permit in new jersey.
also someone mentioned something about muzzleloading. i hunted deer for many years using a .50 caliber muzzleloader. those things can cause some serious freaking damage. i feel for the guys who fought in the american civil war.
thank you for your contribution, mcgruff10. that is some informative stuff you got there.
i like that they require two references, fingerprints sent to the fbi & they send a letter to your workplace. wow. that's pretty good stuff.... all of which to get a handgun.

i took a trap/skeet shooting class in college.
i was going to do scuba, but i was poor.
Trap kicks ass. I was actually pretty good at it... used a pump shotgun, too.
5 stand is also a blast
i did this course when i was young to get my hunting license. we shot trap at the end too & even crossed a fence only after unloading the gun & going through all that stuff before crossing the fence.
