Before my father died, the neighborhood he had lived in for 40+ years became dangerous. The crew next door were selling drugs. Their stupid and doped-up clientele knocked on dad's door by mistake once too often.

My dad, a WWII veteran and a man who NEVER owned a gun of his own, went out and got one...mom never knew.

After he died, my mom found it in the closet..loaded. Those crooks were lucky he never felt the need to use it recuse I know that he was about fed up with them by then.

If every homeowner owned a gun and knew how to use it, there would be far more stories like Mr. Martin’s

If every homeowner owned a gun and knew how to use it there would be fewer stories like this because such criminals would be much more averse to that kind of crime in the first place.

I just heard that the fedguv banned import and production of new 30-rnd magazines last week.

I am hoping I was misinformed.

I don't see anything on this on the forums.

what's the score, gen'l'men?

Author’s note: For you liberals out there, that’s a handgun capable of killing any criminal, child molester, and most large safari animals.

I suspected I was misinformed, which is why I pung y'all.
If y'all ain't heard of it, it likely h'ain't happened.

I got all I the AR and M1A Mags I need plus a few cases so I ain't really paying attention ....never assume. I'll ask around. I suspect that any day now the socialist potato heads will sneak in such a ban into some bill the GOP needs......

What a nice bedtime story.

I love stories that end with the good guy saying, "Stop, BANG - or I'll shoot."

Or in this case, "Stop - BangBangBangBangBangBangBang - or I'll shoot."

feel free to ask about suggestions for a first gun, i'm sure there are many freepers (probably even some close to you) that would be happy to help you pick one.
just beware if you ask in too public of a forum, you'll probably get a million suggestions.
