American Gun Ownership Highest In 18 Years

Ed discovers a new gun shop opening:

Speaking of which, hit a decent-sized gun show over the weekend.  Feeling the pull for getting a 1911, but God, the CZ-75s feels so comfortable, they're almost holistically ergonomic.*





*Yes, that is a vomit-inducing sentence from a European perspective.  Get over it.

CZ75's are nice pieces.

I liked the ambidextrous model.  Safety on both sides.  You know, for when you're accessorizing.

The fact that you're  a gun nut is odd to me, seedy.  I mean I know you're an ex cop and bail bondsman, but you're also annoyingly liberal with a cuddly animal lover side. All the contradictions hurt my head.

That's because he's not. One of the problems with you folks concerning gun owners.

Folks? Would that be non-gun nut, Canadian, or Portuguese. I fit Ito a lot of buckets in this place

I am certainly not a gun nut.   I have not bought a firearm since 1997, and as far as I'm concerned they can cap MAGAZINES at 7 rounds, because I like .45s and prefer revolvers anyway. 

But I do enjoy my handgun carry permit and am very much in the "the only person who should have a gun is me, because I trust me and not bulletheads like Cal and derspiess" camp.    


edit:  mad props to my boy 11B, who is also not Cal and derspiess.

Ed: jury still in deliberations.  Not crazy, but not quite not crazy.

Ed: forgotten. 

He's was probably being diplomatic, you'd be sad at what group he'd put you in

[CountDeMoney]

Whoops

[HVC]

See!

I'll take it.

Now HVC, on most of languish I would be considered a balls out nutter.

-Been around firearms since I was 8.
-Can shoot any firearm I pickup well.
-I own 20+ firearms, I've lost track sorry.
-I reload ammunition, but only for what I use to hunt.
-Can do minor gunsmith work
-If the balloon goes up, in a fortnight I could reload a few thousand rounds of ammo and still have components to spare. Do I think that's going to happen, no, but I keep my options open.
-I hunt
-I own two "scary rifles" a CETME and SR556 that I haven't fired a hundred rounds between them. Despite owning them for over five years.


But, I think the "gun culture" is completely out of control and needs serious tightening. I grew up in a hunting culture.
