Did you know that when Robert Goddard was in college he blew up the Physics Lab with one of his rocket motor experiments? Did you know that von Braun credited Goddard with helping in the development of the V-2 because Goddard was unrecognized in the US but feervently read by the German Rocket Society.
I think graffiti artists are among the worst. At least they should be shipped to Singapore for a good caning.
Nah, you shoot those guys with ROCK SALT.
Let me tell you. You know you been SHOT, it BURNS LIKE A MUTH******ER, you really do think you're gonna die, and in two days you're covered in scabs that itch like hell.
I don't know first hand of course, but I been told...
M-14 bump, finest rifle ever, but hard to find for under $1500.00. For auto use I would think a carbine, maybe a M1 carbine would be fine, a long rifle is hard to use or store for quick access in a car.
I just paid $450 for my Garand from CMP last April...
"American law??"
Exactly! Range shooting is one thing, and it is highly recommended, but if anyone thinks they need to kill some thugs burning a neighbor's car, think also about spending the rest of your life in prison. Wife and kids destitute, family mortified, perp's family living on easy street.
Yes they do. It is a little hard to find, but I bought a hundred rounds for mine off the internet with no problem. My 94 was made in 1951. I just got it last January.
Oops I did mean in 30-30.
Springfield Armory SOCOM M1A.
American law does not permit deadly force to protect properry alone, including your home if the person is unarmed and not threatening you physically.
It does by God here in Texas.
I believe so but you would have to order it from a dealer most likely. I would spring for a new 94 in "30-30", the ammo is cheap and can be found every where. plus a lever gun wont scare the sheep near as bad. ;)
Instead of being concerned with the cost of the rifle, maybe they should spend a bit more time estimating the cost of their attorney's fee for shooting a guy taking action on the car of a neighbor. I am willing to bet the cost of the auto insurance policy is MUCH cheaper.
"Auto defense", as in to defend against car burners or to have in a car? In a car an M-4 variant works really well.
The best bang for your buck would be the Hi-Point carbine. It comes in 9mm and .40. Cheap light and accurate. And you don't have to worry about over-penetration.
Well thats what you get for living in NYC.
Get a copy of Boston's Gun Bible from JavelinPress.com for the most thorough evaluation of battle rifles and battle carbines that I've ever seen.
Can a noncitizen own a firearm here in the US?
