Since there seems to be quite a few gun aficionados, I thought y'all would like to show 'em off to each other. Here's the one I really enjoy; the Springfield Armory XD 9mm.  And the Remington 870 tactical 12gauge shotgun (for answering the door after 10pm)  |

Ha ha, my father did that once when I was young, a couple of local deputies got lost on a foggy night and stopped after midnight ask which way town was. My father had his shotgun by the bed and brought it to the door with him but kept it out of sight. When they asked there question he pulled out the shotgun, pointed toward town with it and said "that way". He said they jumped back so fast they about knocked each other over. Couldn't do that now. Come to think of it when I was in christian college a friend and I had cap guns (back when they still made them black to look like real guns) and we pulled the red plugs out of the front of the barrels and drilled out the back of the barrels so when you fired the caps actual flames shot out the front. We then put on long coats and did a mock execution on a friend in the cafeteria. When the cap guns fired everyone stopped eating for a moment and looked around then went back to their food. No way I'd do that now either.  Boy times have changed, it was a different world back then. |

I'm afraid I sold mine to my Uncle, who wanted them to stay in the family and knew that I'd never actually use them (maybe if I had sons we'd go shooting or something, but I got two petite, girly-girl-type daughters...) |

Some of mine.
First Photo: From Top, Glock 20SF 10mm, Glock 21SF .45acp, Glock 30SF .45acp, Glock 36 .45acp.
Second Photo: From Top Left to Bottom Right, Glock 20SF, Glock 36, Glock 30SF, Glock 21SF.
The Glock 21SF is my winter carry gun, the 30SF is my summer carry. The 36 is the one I have when I have to be very descrete. The 20 is my Field Pistol, hence the covered holster.

The above post reminds me of this scene. The trigger discipline in that scene (and movies in general) makes me cringe. Sorry I don't have pics of my actual firearms, but I've had a few. After a lot of soul searching*, I finally settled on (returned to) Glocks. Before that, my primary carry (duty) was the Sig P220 for several years:  A cute G26, which I like, although still prefer the G19 size.  |

I was going to do a post, then they asked for guns we own. I'm guessing the cannon off an F-16 doesn't count even though I work on that plane. I do have this one back home:  There's a few more I want, but that will come in time. |

Actually it is an M21, and not the American sniper rifle. I believe it is a Serbian version of the AK that fires a 5.56 round, made by Zastava Arms. A few british contractors had them out one day and let some of my buddies and me shoot them... pretty sweet. Any way, here is a website with some of the statistics... http://www.assegaitrading.co.za/zastava_weapons_assaultrif_m21_556mm.htm And the website for Zastava http://www.zastava-arms.rs/ |

Some more.
Semi-autos are all in .380 (9mm Short) including the Makarov. From the top, Beretta 85FS Cheetah, Mauser HSC, Makarov. Top right revolver is a Smith and Wesson 438 Bodyguard in .38 Special +P, and the bottom left is a Smith and Wesson Model 36 Ladysmith in .38 Special +P.
The bottom photo is of my Ruger Mk III Target in .22LR. This is my most accurate pistol, and it can produce better groups at short range than some of my rifles.

++++WARNING++++
HOPLOPHOBES SHOULD SKIP THIS POST as it may cause you to soil yourself.
The top weapon is a 7.62 Nato FAL type rifle made from an IMBEL Inch pattern reciever and StG-58 parts. The front stock is a DSA for the FAL. This will take either Inch-pattern or Metric magazines.
The second is a Ruger 10/22 in .22LR that has been modified with a .30 carbine type stock, M-16 sights, and an extended Ruger magazine.
The third is some 12 guage contraption that my youngest son built. He builds nearly all of his long guns out of collections of various parts.

If it hadn't been allowed for anyone to buy guns in a supermarket no one would be shot. criminals will always find ways to obtain firearms...not sure where a person can buy a gun in a supermarket though... Walmart. Now to both- Ortho-cat is indeed right. Most criminals do not obtain their guns through legal channels. The few legally-bought firearms that are used in crimes (where the person who bought the gun is the offender, not a legally-sold gun that is then obtained through illegal means such as theft) are usually used in "crimes of passion" where any handy weapon- even the human hand- will do. |

Plenty of useful applications besides killing- there's wounding, maiming, warning, deterring, target practice, stress relief, the aesthetic element- really, Michal, you're showing no imagination here. |
