Purchasing a pistol with your stimulus package money is foolish if you consider that for the same money...

Those bitter folks could have spent that money on prozac and learned to deal with their clinging religion....

600 bucks?

I’d buy ammo, or take a risk on a stock like Genentech or potlach....

Or buy 100 Obamao “curious George” shirts and sell them at tristone pricing and made 1,800 bucks...

I’m just sayin’

Oh yeah, somebody said that’s the broad Spitz was sticking it in.

Don’t want that.

Actually, you could probably buy TWO Mossys for the cost of most pistols.

the sound that thing makes is heap big incentive for a prowler to split!

I was thinking of hooking up a shotgun sounding mechanism to a motion sensor and timer delay, a carefree burglar alarm that could be left on all the time. Then I considered how the average cop would react to it. Not good.

I bought a Herstal FHN FiveseveN 5.7 and bought my wife a Smith & Wesson M&P .40 with the stimulus money (had to match some fun money to make it work though...)

I agree with your definition of “stimulus.”

Lack of training. If the goblin hears a sound from a shotgun it should be from the blast killing him. If you approach me with a shotgun and I am armed I will kill you before you get a round in the chamber.

To engage in a gunfight with a weapon that is not hot is not a good plan.

It is the movies, not real life.

That was me. We were shooting together. TheMom and I have hell with this boy!

Gunner actually caught a picture of me shooting the same shotgun with the pellets a couple of feet from the spitting end of the gun. Maybe he will link the picture.

I agree, I've got over 30 handguns. I'd buy ammo instead.

Thinking 500 tactical...

Think Mossy 590A1. You can use it as a club when it's empty.

Buy the Mossberg 500 with the 18 inch barrel.
Buy Aquila Minishells with the slugs.
Extend the tang on the elevator.
You now have a shotgun that holds ten rounds.

You’re welcome.

As our chief told us before we deployed to Haiti:

“Be sure to wear a BODY condom first!”

I think I know the answer to this but I still have to ask. Does one have to have a class 3 license to own an auto shotgun and is it available? I want the one with a drum mag.
