I am in the market for a gun. I have never owned one before but I have used them quite often since I am required to be qualified with a .357, .38 and a 9mm (as well as the AR-15 and 12-gauge).
So my question is, do any of you own a gun? If so, which one do you own? Do you recommend one in particular?
I was looking at Sig Sauer's, but they are pricey.
I am currently looking at the GLOCK 22's.
Killing people has become far too easy. You'd respect life a lot more if you had to use a machete.
I agree. Phreak, buy a machete.
Machete's are cool.
I wonder if Ugie Urbina has one or two that he'd like to get rid of?
slow torture death my friends, that's the way to go.
When I was a teen, I worked in the outdoor department at I. Goldberg...not sure if those stores are even around anymore. Anyway, this guy came in and asked for a Machete. He looked just flat-out nuts. Dirty, disheveled, crazy hair, jumpy-eyes...he couldn't have looked more like a maniacal stereotype.
So, I got a machete and put it on the counter. The crazy dude plunked down some cash and started to walk away, but back then you had to sign for the things. So, I pull the guy back and told him to sign. He started to get really nervous, and asked a bunch of questions about why he had to sign, blah, blah, blah. Then he grabbed the pen, scribbled some meaningless lines and literally bolted out of the store.
To this day, I wonder how many limbs were severed with that f'n thing.
I own a Glock 23 .40 cal handgun. I've had it for three years. I've fired it at the gun range many times. I qualified with this weapon and it is a nice gun.
The only thing about Glocks is that there is no safety. The trigger is basically your safety. The first pull of a Glock trigger is harder and that is supposed to work as your safety. However, i could really never tell much of a difference.
The Glock 23 is the mid size version. Not too big and not too small for your hands.

I used to work in the one across from your favorite diner. It's gone now...I think it closed up ten years ago or so.

Barreta 92F 9mm (2 mags of 14 in each!)
38 special/357 mag snub nose 6 shot revolver
22 automatic Ruger Mark II (my favorite!!) very accurate.. I got
the stainless steel model..ammo is cheap and its lots of fun to shoot

I have the same weapon and I agree on all counts. Not having a safety freaked me out at first but I never keep one in the pipe anyway, so it really doesn't affect me one way or another.
I also have a Sig Sauer P226 9MM. Another excellent weapon. :yay
If I did own a gun--and I'm not saying I don't--I wouldn't talk about it on an internet message board.
If I lived alone, I'd probably own a couple for sport shooting and the like. I've done that in the past, and it was fun. But with a family and all that, a handgun has no place in my house.
I would have shot up too many televisions in the mid-90s to consider owning a gun now. Plenty of my friends own handguns and assault rifles (AK-47s and SKSs) for me to shoot at the gun range. And that way I don't have to register and worry about Whitey framing me.

No, but I do have Linda Evans from "Dynasty." Does she count?
I do not own one, but grew up around guns. I'd like to purchase a pistol someday. Prob 9mm or 42 cal. Something small, but powerful enough. Phreak, I think you should buy a desert storm m92. :evil

Nice. I am going to go with the Glock or the Sig depending on the prices. A friend at work has one of each and I am going to go to the range to see which one I like better.
Now i just need to find out about getting my license and I'm set.
Mussa, I was just looking at those on-line too. :yay

Jay... the Glock was $529 + tax + $10 Felony BCI check.
The Sig was used a couple of times and I've had it for a while. I don't remember how much it cost but I got a great deal on it. I'm thinking $400 or so.
They're expensive weapons but they're worth it.

Well that confirms it. You are a fairy. Are you afraid the government might find out? They might discover that you are an infidel?

Dude. We already know what he owns and where he purchased it.
That too.
