well i am able to live with the problem, so no desire to move. All i'm saying is that i have no respect for thieves at all, and if i was getting robbed (and lived in the states) i would have no problem opening fire on the fu** head.

"less guns less deaths" ... yeah that's true, now if these laws would only control the number of guns and do something about the ridiculus numbers of guns being smuggled from down south then we'd have something to be proud of ....

Anyone been to the gun store place in Vegas? I fired an M-16 on full auto there, but they had SMGs and even mounted machine guns.

What would be really cool for home defence would be a blowgun with poison darts.

LOL ... good ol' yanks. Those guys take the "right to bear arms" to a whole new level. They had a show on A&E about some wierdos who built fallout shelters and had them stocked with all sorts of machine guns, RPGs, anti-tank mines, granades ... it was ridiculus lol.

I've fired an AK-47 on auto in europe years ago ... it got old really fast. I preffer takin' it easy and doing nice groups out to 2 or 3 hundred yards instead, much more satisfying.

Ninja Blowguns

Blowguns were used by the Ninja prior to 1500 in Japan for silent assassination with poison darts. This is a traditional Ninja blowgun with the darts:

My uncle takes trip every year, so he can hunt animals like that. He used to keep everything mounted in the living room. There was even a bear in there..... kinda scary. He ended turning the basement into a trophy room. Now that Im older and understand it more, I like it. Ive gone hunting a couple of times with my ex-hubby and froze my buns off. I like shooting guns but thats as far as it goes. I didnt even have the heart to shoot that monster buck after waiting for hrs. I know Im such a wuss [V] But it was something Ive never tried before so I figured why not.

Would we have to put on those silly outfits before we can use them?

Someone with a blowgun with poison darts can wear whatever they want. I'm not going to remonstrate.

Big part of the problem with having weapons at home for self defence is that the majority of 'intruders' that are shot by homeowners turn out to be the spouse or child or neighbour ... and you can look that up!

Some interesting replies...

Let's take a closer look at Canadian gun laws...  Guns don't have to be locked up if you're at home with them.  The shottie and the revolver in the original post are mine, and the pics were taken on my floor at home.  No rules are broken.  If they were loaded, that's another issue, as you can only have them loaded up where you can legally shoot.

I had a sh-load of ammo just a few feet away, so theoretically it would've only taken me a couple of seconds to rack a shell into the chamber if someone had kicked my door in at the time...

If someone had charged at me with a knife, and I pulled the trigger, I would hope I wouldn't face any charges, as I used whatever was available at the time to successfully defend my life...

I hope I would never have to test out our legal system with this scenario, but I'm curious as to what the 'real-world' outcome would be...

Let's keep in mind that some home invaders will not hesitate to kill, even if you are just an innocent bystander, as has been proven once again recently in Surrey...

One of my more recent acquisitions...



A nice little piece in .45 Auto...

I would've loved a 1911, but the price was a bit out of hand at the time, as I'm on a budget!  Thinking back, 9mm would've been much more cost effective at the range...  Oh well, .45 leaves a bigger hole :-)

This particular Ruger is a fairly fine piece, as this version is stainless/aluminum, which will fire in both single/double action, and as was ordered with my pistol, no safety...  It's equipped with a decocker only...  I've pumped a few hundred rounds through it, and it hasn't jammed once yet...

To change the subject - someone on DV is using the handle EED - didn't you tell me that's a banned handle - just thought it was weird.

That handle has an auto-ban script written, as does 'ace' now...

It's DV admin just having some fun, as they get bored too...

Zekko was probably banned so often that he'd gotten tired of switching proxy addies too...

I haven't posted there at all today.  I'm tired of perpetuating the 'DV Drama' also...

I've apparently burnt all bridges with them.  That's fine...

They can let all topics fly, of every nature, but any criticism of their actual performance is too much for the oh so sensitive DV Mods to handle.

I can't speak for them, but whenever I go to work, my boss, or fellow employees for that matter, do not hesitate to criticize, even in jest...
